90-Day Action Plan
Prioritised, specific actions to close your fundability gaps — ordered by severity and with realistic timelines. Not generic advice: each action maps directly to a scored gap.

A note on honest answers
This tool scores what you tell it. If you answer optimistically, the output will be optimistic — and unhelpful. The investors you will meet will ask harder questions than this audit does. Use this to find the gaps before they do.
