The Fundability Diagnostic

Stop chasing funding.
Get chased.

For owners raising capital, WithNova scores your business on the six things funders measure, then installs what is missing — the AI and the people to run it.

Six questions. Your number out of 100, and the one gap funders price first.

How this is scored

Six checkable behaviours. Equal weights. Nothing hidden.

The six items

Each item is a past behaviour you could evidence from a record — a customer list, an invoice, a calendar, a bank statement. You rate how true it is, 0 to 10, where 10 means it happened and you could show the record. Opinions are easy to inflate; records are not.

The number

score = round( sum of six ratings × 100 ÷ 60 ). The six items carry equal weight, stated openly: with no outcome dataset yet, equal weighting is the honest default. The scores this diagnostic collects become the calibration set for evidence-based weights.

The bands

  1. 70–100 Chase-ready. Funders can see a business that performs without its owner.
  2. 40–69 Buildable. Most of the engine is there. One or two gaps are what a funder will price against you.
  3. 0–39 The leaks come first. The business still runs through you. Funding here buys time, not growth.

The gap

Your lowest item. Where two items tie, the gap is the one a credit committee reads first: Financial, then People, then Customer, Brand, Channels, Systems. Cash discipline and key-person risk end conversations before pricing power does.

What this is, and is not

Six questions are a read, not a diagnosis. The full instrument behind this screen measures six asset classes at three levels and is run in a Growth Session against your records. This screen tells you where to look first. Method: WithNova | Growth Systems.

Your details, then your number.

Six questions take about two minutes. Your number appears the moment you finish, and it is emailed to you with the room's benchmark on 11 September. A mobile number is optional — used only for session reminders.

The Growth Session

Forty-five minutes. A strategist and a CFO. Your business.

Twenty years advising Fortune-500-level corporates. Twenty-six years in finance. You leave with your six scores verified against your records, the one gap funders price first, and the order to fix it.

What happens after is your call. Some owners run the fixes themselves. Some ask WithNova to install them — the AI that does the work and the people certified to run it — measured in, measured out.

"In just one session… remarkable clarity. Not just expertise — true wisdom."
