Part 1 of 2
Structural Foundations
How well-built are the foundations your growth is standing on? Rate each statement across the four core pillars of alignment.
Market
Business
Culture
People
Market
Customer & GTM Clarity
01 / 14
ICP definition. Our ideal customer profile is clearly defined, validated by real buyer conversations, not assumptions about who we think our customer is.
02 / 14
GTM motion. We have a defined, repeatable go-to-market motion, not just activity, but a system that consistently generates qualified pipeline.
Business
Model & Revenue System
03 / 14
Pricing validation. Our pricing model has been tested and validated in market: customers have said yes to our price, not just to the concept.
04 / 14
Revenue system. Revenue generation is a structured, repeatable system, not dependent on founder effort, relationships, or one-off deals.
Culture
Decision Rules & Direction
05 / 14
Shared decision rules. Our team makes decisions based on agreed principles and strategic direction, not just founder instinct or whoever speaks loudest.
06 / 14
Strategic clarity. Everyone in the company understands not just the vision, but the specific direction we're moving in, and why we've prioritised it over alternatives.
People
Roles & Team Alignment
07 / 14
Role clarity. Roles and ownership are clearly defined: people know what they're accountable for and decisions don't bottleneck at the top.
08 / 14
Team alignment. Our team is aligned to a validated strategic direction, not just a founder's vision. When hard tradeoffs arrive, we make them consistently.
Part 2 of 2
Cross-Functional Alignment
Beyond foundations: how well are your functions actually working together? This is where execution either amplifies or undermines your strategy.
Strategy → Execution
Market → Product
Leadership → Teams
Strategy → Execution
Does strategy reach the ground?
09 / 14
Direction translation. Our strategic priorities are clearly communicated across all functions: Sales, Marketing, Product, and Tech are working from the same direction, not their own interpretation of it.
10 / 14
Execution coherence. When we look at what Sales is selling, what Marketing is messaging, and what Product is building, they are coherent expressions of the same strategy.
Market → Product
Does market signal reach Product and Tech?
11 / 14
Feedback loop. What Sales and Marketing hear from buyers (objections, gaps, unmet needs) is systematically fed back into Product and Tech roadmap decisions.
12 / 14
Shared market understanding. Product and Tech have direct exposure to customer conversations: they understand the market problem, not just the feature request.
Leadership → Teams
Is management creating clarity or noise?
13 / 14
Communication consistency. Leadership communicates direction, priorities, and decisions consistently: teams don't receive conflicting signals depending on who they report to.
14 / 14
Cross-function coordination. When priorities conflict between functions (a Sales request vs a Product roadmap decision), there is a clear, trusted process for resolution.
