TTMM Score™ - Actionable Assessment of Startup Strength
Every early-stage company faces the same fundamental question: Are we built to grow?
Our TTMM Score provides a data-driven answer.
The TTMM Score is a concise, evidence-based evaluation of a startup’s overall readiness and potential, built on the four pillars that determine long-term success: Team, Technology, Market, & Message. Using a structured assessment framework, we analyze these core areas to generate a clear, benchmarked score that highlights strengths, exposes risk areas, and identifies actionable next steps.
1. Team Assessment
We examine whether your team has the structure, alignment, and operational discipline to execute with clarity and speed. This includes leadership composition, decision-making processes, role clarity, cross-functional effectiveness, and the cultural dynamics that influence how work actually gets done. Strong teams don’t just have talent, they have alignment, communication, and momentum. Our assessment identifies organizational strengths and exposes misalignments or gaps that may slow execution or confuse investors. The result is a clear view of whether your team is positioned to scale efficiently and withstand the pressures of early-stage growth.
2. Technology Assessment
We evaluate the scientific and technical foundation of your product or platform with a focus on feasibility, differentiation, scalability, and defensibility. This includes technical readiness, risk profile, data quality, IP position, regulatory considerations, and the strength of your development roadmap. Whether you’re advancing a therapeutic, a tool, or a data-driven platform, we assess how convincingly your technology supports your value proposition and whether it can sustain long-term competitive advantage. Our analysis surfaces what’s solid, what’s uncertain, and what needs strengthening before you meet investors, partners, or customers.
3. Market Assessment
We analyze your market environment to determine whether your solution is positioned in front of a real, urgent, and addressable opportunity. This includes market size, customer needs, competitive dynamics, economic drivers, pricing and reimbursement (when relevant), and overall strategic timing. A compelling technology still needs a clear path to adoption, by the right customers, at the right moment, for the right reasons. Our assessment clarifies where your market fit is strongest, where the risks lie, and how well your strategy aligns with the commercial realities that determine long-term success.
4. Message Assessment
We evaluate the clarity, coherence, and credibility of how your company tells its story, across investor decks, customer narratives, scientific positioning, and internal alignment. Even the strongest science or technology can stall if the message is unclear, inconsistent, or overly complex. We assess whether your value proposition is differentiated, whether your milestones are framed in a way that builds momentum, and whether your narrative resonates with the audiences who matter most.
