The Boardroom Diagnostics · free self-reviews

Four questions every board should be able to answer.

Will the strategy last? Would capital say yes? Can the business and its IP cross a border? Is it building its next business? Four short self-reviews. Each shows priority issues first, then a profile of typical practice and one practical next step. No overall score. Built by Ryan Babbage, Founder and Commercial Strategist.

Fourteen to eighteen statements, each with an evidence prompt. Choose what you could point to today, or Not sure or Not applicable.

Check

Priority issues come first and are never averaged away. Then answer coverage, so you can see what the summary rests on.

The diagnostics are general information and strategic education. They are not financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and they are not a valuation, a due-diligence review, a certification or an offer of capital. They have not been statistically tested as a measurement instrument. For decisions on structure, tax or regulation, take professional advice in the relevant jurisdiction.
