Score Rationale

Radical lacks named founders, verifiable domain expertise, or defense-specific background—typical YC pattern but weak for defense investing. The vague mission ('persistent, high-performance infrastructure in the sky') suggests either early-stage pivoting or positioning for multiple markets; no visible government contracts, pilot customers, or defense traction beyond YC selection. Market timing is neutral (space infrastructure is a DoD modernization area) but without clear DoD pull or SBIR validation.
