How the Delulu Score works.

The Delulu Score is a number from 0 to 100 that measures assumption pressure: how hard a goal leans on optimistic growth, a short deadline, or numbers you haven't hit before. It is deterministic math, not AI, and it is not a probability of success.

The rules every score follows

  1. 01Each factor is scored independently, rounded, and clamped to its maximum.
  2. 02Factor points are added together and the total is clamped to 0–100.
  3. 03The total maps to one of six fixed verdicts. Same inputs always give the same score.
  4. 04The score measures assumption pressure — how hard the plan leans on optimistic numbers — not the probability of success.
  5. 05AI never sets or changes the score. It is only used to classify a typed goal, pre-fill known numbers, and explain results in plain English.
