An independent accountant verifies the top-scoring entries. Every winner is verified in full before any payout. At least one judge sits outside Brian's team and the experts.
Verification runs Monday 15 to Friday 19 March. January and February can be slow for some businesses. Results are measured against each founder's own baseline, so the scoring stays fair.
