Diligence Readiness Scorecard
Investors do not lose deals on the pitch - they lose them in diligence, when the cap table does not reconcile and the data room is half-built. Score your startup against the 25 checks a real diligence team runs, and find the gaps before they do.
6 diligence pillars
Cap table, IP and legal, financials, revenue and metrics, data room, and fundraise readiness - the same map an investor's counsel works through.
25 concrete checks
Every question maps to something diligence teams actually verify, from 83(b) elections to your net-retention data trail.
About one minute, no login
Answer yes, partly, no, or "I don't know" - block by block. Get a score out of 100 and a color-coded band the moment you finish.
Built by a diligence CFO
Designed by an ACCA-qualified CFO who has taken 15+ startups through investor due diligence and secured $5M+ in non-dilutive funding.
Six pillars, 25 checks, about one minute.
Tell us where to send your results, then we walk you through the six pillars one at a time - no intimidating wall of questions. Be honest: the point is to surface what investors will surface. Answer "partly" when something exists but is incomplete, and "I don't know" when you genuinely are not sure - in diligence, an unknown is treated as a gap until you can prove otherwise. Your results stay private.

How the score works
Each check is worth full credit for a clear yes, half for a partial, and nothing for a no. An "I don't know" scores as a gap too - and we tally those separately as blind spots, because an unknown is exactly what diligence turns into a red flag. Your total maps to one of three bands.
Investors will flag this. Gaps here stall or kill a round in the first hour of diligence.
The foundation is there, but loose ends slow the process and hand investors leverage on terms.
You can withstand a real process. Remaining work is polish and packaging to keep leverage to term sheet.
