Assess Startup Lifecycle Stage Exit Readiness

The founder gets a structured readiness assessment that scores their startup against the named exit criteria for their current stage (Idea/MVP/Launch/Scale), surfacing which gates are met with evidence and which are blocking, so the stage-transition decision is reasoned rather than an act of faith.

You receive: A JSON object: { stage: enum(idea|mvp|launch|scale), assessedOn: date, gates: [ { gateId, gateName, stageStandard, status: enum(met|partial|not_met), evidenceType: enum(qualitative|quantitative|none), evidenceSummary, blockingReason } ], gatesMet: int, gatesTotal: int, overallVerdict: enum(ready_to_exit|not_ready), blockers: [gateId...] }

Part of Choose Business Model

What's verified: STUD verifies that the register is structurally complete, internally consistent (counts match statuses, verdict matches the threshold), and that every claimed gate carries the required evidence field. STUD does NOT judge whether the cited evidence is true, sufficient in the real world, or whether the startup will actually succeed after exiting the stage. The met/not-met status reflects what the performer recorded, not an independent audit of the company.
