The most economical version of venture capital prediction is not necessarily a sophisticated gating network. Basic methods, such as LLMs or temporal snapshot analyses, can offer sufficient robustness with much less complexity. Adding gating is like burdening the machine without guaranteeing a better return on investment, especially if input data quality is not optimal. Instead of seeking maximization at all costs, a lighter and more reactive approach is often preferable in a market like Brazil, where volatility is the norm. For example, a simple prediction based on cash flows and macroeconomic health can outperform a complex model if market signals change rapidly.
