Self-assessment only. It is not an audit, legal or financial advice, or a prediction of results.

How scoring works

  • Yes counts 2 points, Partly counts 1 point and No counts 0 points.
  • Score = points earned ÷ (number of questions × 2) × 100.
  • The score appears only after you answer every question, so a half-finished list is not read as a result.
  • The bands are 80 and above, 50 to 79, and below 50. They are a simple guide chosen for planning, not an industry standard.

Frequently asked questions

Does a high score mean the product will sell?

No. It measures how complete your research is, not future sales.

Is anything saved?
