Pillar 1 of 3

Financial Discipline

Cash flow kills more scaling SMEs than competition does. The line between accounting (recording what happened) and finance (anticipating what will happen) is the line between surviving and scaling. This pillar tests whether you can predict cash, protect margin, and prove performance.

1. How frequently do you review a forward-looking cash flow forecast (not just last month's accounts)?
2. Do you know your unit economics: the gross margin you make on a single unit of product or service after true cost of goods?
3. Is your business 'bankable' today (audited financials, 6 months of statements, VAT returns, governance ready for external financing)?
Pillar 2 of 3

Sales & Marketing Engine

Most SMEs spend the same 80% of their marketing budget on the bottom 20% of their customers. Targeted revenue starts with knowing who your best customer is, why they buy, and which channels actually deliver them. This pillar tests whether your commercial engine is focused or sprayed.

1. Have you defined your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) clearly enough that your team actively turns away leads who don't fit it?
2. Do you track a weighted sales pipeline with deal stages, probability percentages, and clear next actions for each open deal?
3. Do you measure Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and ROI per marketing channel, and reallocate spend based on what you find?
Pillar 3 of 3

People & Accountability

Scaling businesses break when delivery depends on heroics from a few key people. Real accountability comes from defined seats with measurable outcomes, structured hiring, and a performance rhythm that catches problems early. This pillar tests whether your people system is designed or accidental.

1. Is your organisational chart defined by accountabilities and outcomes (3 to 5 KPIs per seat) rather than just job titles?
2. Do you use a structured scorecard (cultural fit + technical capacity, with evidence-based questions) for hiring rather than gut feel from interviews?
3. Do new hires follow a structured 90-day onboarding plan and do you run a quarterly performance rhythm with your team?
