How this works

  • Each answer scores 0 to 3. Each area (story, numbers, proof, process) is scored out of 100 once its questions are answered; the overall score and verdict appear only when all ten are answered.
  • Your stage changes one question: deep technology companies before revenue are asked about technical proof instead of paying customers, so they are not marked down for being early.
  • The area with the lowest score is where investors usually push hardest, so the advice focuses there.
  • Bands: 75 and above, ready to go to market; 50 to 74, close, with specific gaps; below 50, prepare before approaching investors.
  • This tool assesses preparation for a financing process. It does not give investment or securities advice.
