Open toolOne Study decision-preparation assessment
Evaluate strategic opportunities before committing time, money, or people.
Review strategic fit, market evidence, financial viability, stakeholder alignment, resources, and risk before committing time, money, or people.
Assessment
Score strategic fit, viability, risk, and execution readiness.
This assessment starts blank, scores opportunity quality with weighted signals, reviews financial viability, stakeholder alignment, resources, risk, and suggests the best next planning step.
What your score means
Use the score to decide what needs structure.
The result helps show whether the opportunity is a strong candidate for planning, a promising idea with gaps, or a high-risk distraction that needs revised assumptions before commitment.
What to review next
Move from signal to review.
Review strategic fit, market need, financial assumptions, resource capacity, stakeholder alignment, risks, dependencies, timing, and whether the next step should be a pilot, structured plan, or deferral.
FAQ
Questions this tool helps frame.
What kinds of opportunities can I score?
Use it for new products, partnerships, market expansion, capital investments, events, hiring initiatives, vendor opportunities, or internal projects.
Does a high score mean we should proceed?
No. It supports structured review and prioritization, but it does not guarantee approval, return, selection, or outcome.
How does this connect to Scaffold?
Scaffold can turn a promising opportunity into owners, milestones, records, vendor context, and operating follow-through.
When should I use related calculators?
Use Business ROI for investment return, Cash Flow for timing pressure, Hiring Cost for people needs, and Funding Readiness when the opportunity needs capital.
