Assessment 1: Impossible Triangle
Evaluates the balance between Innovation, Viability, and Scalability. An imbalanced profile is flagged when the max-min spread exceeds 20 points.
Innovation
Sourced from Products & Services. Keywords: novel, patent, proprietary, disruptive, R&D.
Viability
Sourced from Business Model & Financials. Keywords: revenue, margin, unit economics, funding.
Scalability
Sourced from Market Opportunity. Keywords: TAM, growth, expansion, network effect, platform.
Trap Detection
When one pillar dominates by more than 30 points, a trap pattern is detected:
Innovation Noose
Heavy on innovation, light on viability and scalability
Viability Guillotine
Strong financials but weak innovation and growth narrative
Scalability Trap
Big growth claims without validated business model
Assessment 2: British Market Fit Deep Dive
Scores four sub-components of UK-specific content:
| Sub-Component | Weight | What It Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory Alignment | 30% | FCA, HMRC, ICO, GDPR, Companies House references |
| Consumer Fit | 25% | UK market, British consumer, UK demographics, spending data |
| Competitive Landscape | 20% | UK competitors, UK market leaders, UK positioning |
| Innovation Agenda Fit | 25% | Innovate UK, UKRI, Catapult, UK digital strategy |
Assessment 3: Fortune / Timing
Evaluates whether the plan addresses market timing, technology readiness, and policy windows:
Market Timing (40%)

Tips
- Use after the Endorsement Navigator — especially when two bodies score close together
- Address the weakest pillar first — each trap pattern comes with specific rebalancing strategies
- BMF is critical — endorsement bodies reject applications that lack UK-specific content
- Fortune is not luck — it is about demonstrating strategic timing and policy awareness
