Institutional Readiness Assessment
This assessment contains 20 questions across governance, financial integrity, institutional capacity and pathway to liquidity. Please answer according to what can be evidenced today — not what is planned or generally understood. Select the highest statement that is completely true. If only part of a statement is true, select the level below. Your result is indicative and is being tested for clarity and usefulness. It does not determine whether an enterprise is investable or whether capital will be raised.

Private Beta · Methodology v0.9
Methodology, scoring and limitations
Status
The Investment Readiness Index™ is currently being tested with a selected group of business leaders, boards, investors and advisers. Participation helps TM Alpha refine the questions, scoring and usefulness of the output before wider release.
What is assessed
Twenty structured questions across four institutional dimensions: governance, financial integrity, institutional capacity and pathway to liquidity.
How responses are interpreted
The assessment groups responses by institutional dimension and interprets them using published qualitative thresholds. It evaluates institutional readiness — not opportunity quality, valuation or the likelihood of raising capital.
How evidence gaps are treated
“I don’t know” and unanswered questions are recorded as evidence gaps rather than scored as weaknesses. A dimension with too little evidence is marked “Insufficient evidence” rather than given a precise figure.
Limitations
- Indicative and based on self-reported information that has not been independently verified.
- It has not been statistically validated against transaction outcomes; it reflects TM Alpha analytical judgement and investment experience.
- A high result does not predict that capital will be raised; a low result does not mean an enterprise is uninvestable.
Your answers are self-reported and indicative. Responses are handled in line with our privacy notice and are used to prepare your on-screen profile and, if you request it, your written report. This assessment does not determine whether an enterprise is investable or whether capital will be raised.
