Ten fundamentals decide whether a startup compounds into a business or quietly runs out of road. Score yours honestly, and get tailored suggestions on where to focus next. It takes about five minutes.
Rate your startup on each of the ten, from 1 (not there yet) to 5 (nailed it). Every one shows you what a 1–2, a 3 and a 4–5 look like, with an example, so you can be honest with yourself. When you are done, you get your score, your single biggest risk, and a focused set of suggestions on what to work on first. Be candid: this is most useful when you mark yourself down. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to, and your progress is saved on this device so you can come back to it.
At this stage things change fast, so it's worth re-scoring in a couple of weeks to see if you've moved. Drop a reminder in your calendar and come back to it. Your answers are saved on this device.
Leave your details and we'll send you a deeper, personalised breakdown of your scorecard, with specific feedback on where to focus and what to do next. If your foundations look strong, or look like they'd benefit from a hand, someone from Product Pieces may follow up. No spam, no obligation.
Answer for your company against ten fundamentals, from the problem and the buyer through to evidence, team and money, and it scores each one and names the single biggest risk you are carrying right now. Not a list of everything that could be better. The one thing to fix first, and a prompt to score again in fourteen days so you can see whether it moved.
Who it is for. Founders between an idea and a Series A who want an outside read without booking a call, and teams who suspect they are busy on the wrong thing.
What it will not do. It cannot grade you against your market or see what is really happening in your company. It is a structured self-assessment, and it is only as honest as the answers you give it.
