AIRATE AI technology evaluation

KIBO applied AIRATE to technology evaluations and reported prediction-accuracy gains of at least 9%

WorkingCompany's own claim

Problem

KIBO used statistical models to assess technology businesses for financing. Financially weak startups could struggle to obtain further funding despite their growth potential.

Approach

KIBO applied its AI-based AIRATE system throughout technology evaluation work from January 2021. It produced separate growth and risk ratings that could support financing products. The evaluation framework combined expert assessment with explainable AI.

Results

at least 9%overall prediction-accuracy improvement over the previous model, as reported by KIBOCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

Separate growth and risk ratings gave KIBO more ways to assess technology firms. The reported prediction improvement did not establish subsequent lending performance.
