Reviewing applications in a round

When a lead assigns you applications in a round, the round appears in Cohorts and your batch is on its My reviews tab. Each application shows Not started, Draft saved or Submitted.

Score an application#

1. Click Review (or Continue) on an application.
2. Read The application: the company, its website and the founder's answers. Open the deal appears when you can open the deal itself.
3. Under Your review, choose a score from 1 (Weak) to 5 (Exceptional) for each criterion. The weight beside each criterion sets how much it counts.
4. Add a Comment for the selection committee: what convinced you, what worried you, what to ask at interview.
5. Click Save draft to come back later, or Submit review once every criterion has a score.

Submit review asks you to confirm. A submitted review can't change, so the calibration stays honest.

Blind until you submit#

Until you submit, Other reviews says they stay hidden, and the round shows Hidden in place of scores for that application. Your draft is never shown to anyone else. Once you submit, the other submitted reviews appear with each reviewer's scores, weighted score and comment.

A lead who isn't reviewing an application sees every submitted review on it.

Frequently asked questions#

I'm an analyst and can't open the deal. Can I still review?#

Yes. The review sheet shows the application you were assigned even when the deal isn't yours.

Can I change a score after submitting?#

No. If you made a mistake, tell the person running the round.
