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:

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
