The method behind the questions

Before more capital goes in, test the operating evidence.

This diagnostic applies the six scaling gates published in Growth Flow Engineering’s newsletter: commercial result, reproducibility, integration, trust, full-cost economics, and permanent ownership.

It gives you a starting point for a conversation with finance and the business owner. This is a self-reported assessment of one AI initiative. It is a starting signal, not an independent audit, certification, or capital approval.
