Score your business. Grade your team.
Two free Scaling Up assessments show you exactly where to focus — score your business on the Four Decisions, then grade your team on performance and core values.
The best teams check the score constantly.
Guessing where you stand is expensive. Twenty minutes of honest scoring shows which of the Four Decisions needs attention first — and gives your leadership team a shared starting point.

About 10 minutes per assessment — no prep required.
Free
Both assessments cost nothing. No credit card, no strings.
Actionable
Red-yellow-green results show exactly where to focus next.
Coach-ready
Bring your results to a free call and turn scores into a plan.
The Scaling Up Assessment
Score your business on the Four Decisions — People, Strategy, Execution and Cash — in about 10 minutes. Answer plainly: the point is an honest picture, not a perfect one.
You get a red-yellow-green report across the whole framework, so you can see at a glance which decision is holding you back — and where to run your first play.
The A-Player Assessment
The talent grid the best coaches use — free to download and run with your own leadership team.
Grade performance and core values, A to C
List your team, rate each person on results and on how they live the core values, and the grid colors itself. A-Players jump out — and so do the coaching conversations you've been putting off.
- Rates every team member on performance and core-values fit
- Red-yellow-green grid you can read in one glance
- Free download — nothing to install
- Built to re-run quarterly, so you can watch the team improve

Several ways to score — and more on the way.
Assessments are one part of Scoring, alongside your Cash Flow Story and the Scaling Up Scoreboard. Together they tell you where you stand, what your company is worth, and whether this quarter is working.
