Evaluate PMF Health Against Diagnostic Criteria
The founder benchmarks their mapped metrics against standardised product-market fit scoring criteria across retention thresholds, organic growth, unit economics, and customer necessity. They assign objective scores to each pillar to establish an empirical baseline of product-market fit maturity.
Completing this action converts raw metrics into an objective, quantitative diagnostic score. It provides the parent task with a decision-ready benchmark to evaluate overall venture readiness.
The founder must produce a completed PMF Diagnostic Scorecard with explicit numerical ratings and supporting rationales for each pillar. The scorecard must clearly state whether current performance meets, exceeds, or fails venture standards.
