How AccelerateScore is calculated
The free six-question business growth diagnostic converts your selected answers into an equally weighted score from 0 to 100. It helps you choose a planning priority; it does not verify your business or predict performance.
The six dimensions and exact response scale
Choose one response per dimension. The five responses are scored 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the order shown.
| Dimension | Question and responses, from 0 to 4 |
|---|---|
| Market clarity | How clearly do you know who your best customers are and what problem they pay you to solve?
|
| Acquisition | How consistently does your business attract qualified prospects or customers?
|
| Operations | How well can your team deliver work without constant manual coordination?
|
| Finance & runway | How well do you track financial health, cash needs and unit economics?
|
| Execution | How clearly are milestones, owners and business priorities defined?
|
| Connections | How prepared are you to request help from mentors, partners or specialists?

The formula
Dimension percentage = answer value ÷ 4 × 100. Overall score = round(sum of the six dimension percentages ÷ 6). Each dimension carries one-sixth of the overall score.
For answers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 2, the percentages are 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 50. Their average is 50, so the result is 50/100. Six midpoint answers also produce 50/100.
How the suggested focus is chosen
The lowest dimension score becomes the suggested focus, with three related next steps. When dimensions tie, the first in the question order is selected. This is a simple planning rule; use your own evidence to decide which constraint matters most.
What the score does not establish
There is no external verification, peer benchmark, predictive model or industry normalization behind this diagnostic. Changing answers changes the score. A higher score does not guarantee sales, funding, investment readiness or successful introductions.
