About the Startup Growth Readiness
The Startup Growth Readiness tool diagnoses whether you are actually ready to scale or about to pour fuel on a leaky funnel. It assesses your product-market fit, funnel health, and infrastructure, then flags the blockers to fix first. Use it before a growth push - scaling a broken engine just breaks it faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my startup is ready to scale?
Readiness means product-market fit is real, the funnel converts, and you can measure what works. The tool checks each of these and tells you which are missing before you spend on growth.
What are the most common growth blockers?
Weak product-market fit, a leaky funnel, no attribution, and manual processes that cannot handle volume. Scaling any of these amplifies the problem instead of the result.
What if the tool says I am not ready?
That is the point - it saves you from wasting budget. It identifies the specific blockers so you can fix the engine first, then scale something that actually works.
