ã…¤ | Score | Category | Description |
ã…¤ | 7-8 | Strong | You have a solid, well-structured value proposition. Your core strategic foundation is strong. Your primary opportunity is not in foundational fixes, but in optimization, testing, and scaling your message. |
ㅤ | 3-6 | Common | You have some strong foundational pieces, but critical gaps are actively costing you customers. Issues with your Need, Capability, or Proof are likely causing your message to feel generic or unbelievable to your ideal clients. This is the most common range for promising businesses with untapped potential. |
ㅤ | 0-3 | Urgent | You have major structural problems in your value proposition. Your messaging is likely confusing, unmemorable, and failing to connect with your audience on a fundamental level. This requires immediate and focused attention before any other marketing investment. |
