The institutional readiness ladder. Start at $750.

Every step produces a fingerprinted artifact that travels with the asset into every counterparty's diligence room. Each step credits forward toward the next within a defined window. Same engine, same 10 axes, different evidence levels.

Self-Assessment cannot promote past intake without document ingestion. The badge is structural — same engine, same axes, same thresholds at every tier. The price reflects the evidence cost, not feature differences.

The core ladder · four steps

From operator-attested intake to externally-verifiable artifact.

The tiers are epistemic states, not feature gates. A $750 Self-Assessment is not "the cheap version of the IRA with fewer features" — it is the operator-attested version of the same axes. Document verification is what costs more, not platform features the engine refuses to disclose at lower tiers.

01 · Self-Assessed
$750
Self-Assessment

Operator-attested intake graded against the 10-axis framework. 4-page fingerprinted memo. Self-Assessed badge only — cannot promote past intake without document ingestion. Forwardable to your CPA, banker, or advisor without platform dependency.

$750 credits forward to Gap Review · 90 days

02 · Verification In Progress
$4,500
Readiness Gap Review

Top-5 diligence blockers in 5 business days. Document-verified limited-scope review — the first artifact a sophisticated reviewer treats as evidence rather than attestation. QoE-anchored pricing.

$4,500 credits forward to full IRA · 60 days

03 · Evidence-Confirmed
$12,500
Institutional Readiness Assessment

Full 10-axis IRA with document evidence behind every axis, plus the verification artifact: a share-token URL a buyer, lender, or LP can independently verify. You control where it goes — private by default, shareable with counterparties you authorize, eligible at your election for the marketplace (coming soon). The artifact a sell-side process, refinancing, or LP capital event can reference.

Bundles, tracks, and adjacent surfaces

For operators with a defined remediation runway or a specific transaction window.

Bundle · Pre-purchased remediation cycle
$17,500
IRA + Re-IRA Bundle

Initial IRA + one Re-IRA recompute after remediation work lands, with share-token verification on both snapshots. The Re-IRA delta is the artifact that proves what moved between two evidence-backed snapshots.

Track · IRA + 2 Re-IRAs
$25,000
6-Month Engagement Track

Pre-purchased state-advancement work across a six-month engagement window. For operators preparing for a transaction over a defined runway with structured remediation cadence.

Track · IRA + 4 Re-IRAs
$35,000
12-Month Engagement Track

Pre-purchased state-advancement work across a 12-month engagement window. The longest-runway path to documented progression toward Evidence-Confirmed.

Wedge · Operating-impact measurement
$3,500 + $2,500 delta
Modernization Impact Review

For partners running modernization, automation, or AI implementation work on operator clients. The Review baselines today; the $2,500 delta re-measures within 90 days. Renewal artifact for the partner; proof-of-impact artifact for the client.

Quote · Transaction-priced uplift
$35,000+
Sell-Side Readiness Package

For sell-side processes preparing the operator for buyer-side diligence. Anchored against sell-side QoE pricing. Includes the IRA + buyer/lender-facing Adjustment Schedule + sell-side language pack.

On the credit-forward windows

Each step credits forward toward the next within a defined window: 90 days from Self-Assessment to Gap Review, 60 days from Gap Review to the IRA, 60 days from the IRA to Re-IRA bundles. The windows are calibrated to the realistic timeline of the work the next step requires.

One specific carve-out: the $750 Self-Assessment credit-forward window extends from 90 days to 18 months when — and only when — the memo surfaces a finding that the operator cannot articulate their core financial figures from intake. The upstream work that finding identifies (engaging a financial preparer + producing monthly financials the operator can speak to) takes 4 to 9 months. A 90-day window would force the operator to rush the foundational work or eat the $750. The carve-out is the window matching the reality of the finding — not a discount, not a marketing accommodation.

Start with the Self-Assessment.

$750 one-time. 4-page fingerprinted memo. No recurring commitment. Credits forward to the Gap Review within 90 days (or 18 months if the memo surfaces the financial-articulation finding).
