TBH your example seems to me exactly what is wrong with these "study for the test" type of tools:
> For instance, when YC partner Dalton Caldwell notes that teams with technical founders have "5x better odds," you need to know before submitting. YC Score flags these deal-breakers and shows you how to fix them
There is no "fixing" that issue. My guess is that teams with technical cofounders do 5x better because they have the tools they need to succeed and the drive and passion to do so. If your tool said "Sorry, you've got 3 non-technical cofounders", and you think your solution is "oh, quick let's go get a technical cofounder", you're probably extremely unlikely to go up to that 5x success rate because you didn't have the "organic coming together" of technical cofounders in the first place.
This is classic Goodhart's Law.
