The image depicts a systematic approach to evaluating startups for investment prioritization. It consists of four main components: (a) Identification of startups, represented by icons for S1, S2, and S3, indicating a focus on high-potential startups; (b) Presentation of five evaluation criteria (C R 1 to C R 5) aligned with Quality 4.0 principles, including team characteristics, patents and market potential, strategic alliances, financial health and funding, and innovation and technology; (c) Depiction of expert team evaluations, emphasizing the assignment of percentage weights to each criterion while evaluating each startup from various perspectives; and (d) Aggregation of evaluations through the use of the L C J method. The components are illustrated with icons, providing a visual framework for understanding the evaluation process.Conceptual scheme of the methodology developed in the paper
