Are you ready to start a business?

Twenty-five questions covering what a founder actually has to get right, scored out of 100 with a breakdown by stage. It takes about two minutes, needs no account, and nothing you answer is saved or sent anywhere.

What it covers

• Clarify — whether you can state what you sell, to whom, and separate fact from assumption.
• Validate — what actually counts as evidence that people will buy, and which assumption to test first.
• Position — who you really compete with, why a customer picks you, and how you arrived at your price.
• Plan — contribution per sale, break-even, why a profitable business can still run out of cash, and how the business is structured.
• Prepare — what belongs in a first version, what proof a first customer sees, and what you are legally required to have in place.
• Launch — treating launch as a sequence rather than a day, where the first ten customers come from, and how you will measure it.

What your score means

90–100 — you know this material. Akaru would be an execution workspace for you rather than a teacher.

60–89 — solid foundations with gaps worth closing in order.

0–59 — there is a lot here you have not had to think about yet, which is normal, and it is exactly what a guided journey is for.
