Organizational maturity assessment
Six minutes. Fourteen real questions. A one-page report showing where your team stands across the patterns that quietly shape whether a startup executes well — and the two or three areas most worth your attention next.
Five patterns that shape startup execution — culture, leadership dynamics, focus, technical foundation, role clarity — plus how your team identifies what to fix first.
A maturity score for each pattern, calibrated against your stage. The top three areas to focus on. Specific first moves for each one.
Founders, early leadership teams, and the operators and advisors helping them. Built on the framework in The Continuous Team.
How it works
The questions describe behavior, not aspiration. You pick what your team actually does, not what it ought to do. The report tells you where the gap between where you are and where your stage demands you be is biggest — and what to do about it first.
This assessment is about your team's ability to execute. It doesn't evaluate product-market fit or product strategy — those are different questions you're presumably already working on elsewhere. What it measures is the risk, blocks, and constraints quietly slowing your team down. Name them, fix them, and the rest of the work — strategy, product, growth — moves faster.
