A free, AI-guided assessment that scores your business across eight dimensions investors care about, with questions chosen for what your business does — and shows you precisely what to strengthen next.
Each is scored independently, so you see your strengths and your single most important gap — not just one blunt number.
Team & leadership
Experience, completeness and commitment of the people running the business.
Market opportunity
The strength and proof of demand for what you offer.
Commercial traction
Customers, members and revenue — proof the market is responding.
Financial health & controls
How well you understand, record and document your numbers.
Capital & deal readiness
What you're raising, and how ready the deal itself is.
Operations & supply chain
Your ability to produce and deliver reliably, at quality.
Climate, ESG & resilience
Exposure to climate risk — and what you do to manage it.
Governance, legal & compliance
Legal standing and the structures that build investor trust.
Evidence · Intelligence · Action
Every dimension is benchmarked against businesses assessed across the continent.
How it works
Three steps, about 10–15 minutes.
The assessment adapts to what your business does.
STEP 1
Answer structured questions
Questions chosen for what your business does — a processor isn't asked about irrigation, a platform isn't asked about certifications — across the eight dimensions. No documents required to start.
STEP 2
Refine in an AI conversation
A short, guided chat digs deeper where it matters — turning your answers into an accurate, nuanced picture.
STEP 3
