Score Venture Readiness and Operational Health
Apply a standardised scoring matrix across critical dimensions including product-market fit retention, financial health, team stability, and market opportunity size. Assign objective numerical ratings based on verified benchmarks rather than subjective optimism.
Scoring the venture establishes an unbiased baseline that quantifies readiness for re-entry and follow-on support. It creates a comparable data-room asset that enables portfolio managers to allocate resources systematically.
Deliver a fully populated Diagnostic Scoring Matrix with explicit numerical scores and written rationales for every dimension evaluated. The document must highlight areas of high capability alongside underperforming business functions.
