Exit Readiness Scorecard
A scored self-assessment of exit readiness for AI founders — the seven dimensions acquirers test, what 'ready' looks like in each, and a plan to close the gaps early.
The best exits are prepared years before they happen. The gaps that depress a multiple — a messy cap table, unclear data rights, revenue concentrated in two logos, a model nobody but the founder understands — take time to close, and they are far cheaper to fix early than to discount under deal pressure. This scorecard walks the seven dimensions acquirers actually test, shows what 'ready' looks like in each, and gives you a simple way to score yourself and sequence the work.
