Methodology

Every engagement starts with the truth. Not assumptions.

Two proprietary frameworks — AFQS and OTQS — score your company's financial and operational health in days. Most companies score significantly lower than their founders expect. That gap is the starting point.

Framework one

AFQS — Accounting & Financial Quality Standards

The AFQS framework scores a company's financial health across eight dimensions — from basic accounting integrity to investor-grade reporting quality, revenue recognition, cap table health, and cash management.
  • Accounting integrity and GAAP compliance
  • Financial reporting quality and timeliness
  • Revenue recognition and deferred revenue treatment
  • Cap table health and equity structure
  • Cash management and runway modeling
  • Investor-readiness score
  • M&A and exit readiness
  • Risk exposure — financial, contract, and compliance

The AFQS assessment takes days, not months — and tells you exactly where to focus first.

Framework two

OTQS — Operational & Technology Quality Standards

The OTQS framework evaluates operational health across people, process, technology, and risk. It identifies where the company is operationally exposed, where technology is creating or absorbing risk, and where operational improvements will have the greatest financial impact.
  • Operational infrastructure and process maturity
  • Technology stack health and risk
  • AI readiness and digital transformation positioning
  • Contract and compliance exposure
  • People and organizational risk
  • Commercial and pricing efficiency
  • Vendor and partner risk
  • Operational scalability score
The combined picture

No guessing. No wasted months. No generic advice.

Together, AFQS and OTQS give a complete picture of where the company is and what needs to happen first — sixteen scored dimensions across finance, operations, technology, and risk.

Why founders trust the score

It is honest. It is fast. And it turns "something feels off" into a ranked list of exactly what to fix — each item tied to value, stability, transparency, or growth.
