Score Rationale
Theseus benefits from YC backing and addresses a genuine DoD need (GPS-denied autonomy is a stated modernization priority), but critical information gaps severely limit confidence: no named founders, no disclosed funding amount, no evidence of government contracts, pilot customers, or technical differentiation from existing SLAM/visual-inertial solutions. The company appears pre-validation despite YC selection, making this a high-risk early bet.
