Common Questions
How much does the assessment cost?
Pricing depends on your company stage and complexity. Contact us for a custom quote.
Can we do this faster than 4-6 weeks?
We can compress the timeline if needed, but 4-6 weeks allows for thorough evaluation. Rushing compromises quality.
What if we're not ready?
We'll be honest about it and provide a clear roadmap for improvement. Many companies come back after 3-6 months of focused work.
Do we have to move forward with funding if we're ready?
No. The assessment is independent. You decide what to do with the findings--apply now, strengthen first, or focus on other priorities.
