This ranking is an opinion, not a valuation. Ranking established by Claude (Anthropic) from public information, following the published rules. A consensus of several AIs (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) will apply from Edition 1. It is based on public information (press, funding announcements), following a published method, with no human intervention on the order. Uback neither calculates nor estimates any valuation: ranking non-listed companies is inherently imprecise, depends on the information available and may be contradicted by non-public facts. The confidence index reflects the quality of the sources. Any company may request a correction or dispute its position. This ranking is neither investment advice nor a solicitation. Eligibility threshold: at least USD 500k raised, non-listed companies, main operations in Vietnam.

Three perspectives, never just one

What the AIs think

Every month, the same question is put to several AIs. The answers are merged into a consensus ranking, with a confidence index for each position. Edition 0 is established by a single AI; the consensus arrives with Edition 1.

What the experts argue

The licensed partner and analysts challenge the ranking: “why is this leader missing”, “why is number 3 overrated”. Summaries are free.

What the money wants

The most sought-after companies: those gathering the most paid investment intentions. Aggregated amounts, never an individual intention.

Rankings by sector

Four verticals at launch, more when the feasibility test allows.
