= | === Funding Readiness Score === | ||
The '''Funding Readiness Score (FRS)''' evaluates whether a startup is prepared to raise capital. It is calculated across five dimensions, each scored on a scale of 0 to 10. The final FRS is calculated on a scale of 10 using stage-based weightages. | |||

|FRS = Σ (F<sub>i</sub> × W<sub>i</sub>) | |FRS = Σ (F<sub>i</sub> × W<sub>i</sub>) | ||
Where F<sub>i</sub> represents funding readiness dimension | Where F<sub>i</sub> represents the score assigned to each funding readiness dimension and W<sub>i</sub> represents the stage-based weightage for that dimension. Since the weights total 100%, FRS remains on a scale of 0 to 10. | ||

The '''Capital Readiness Matrix''' maps '''IQS''' and '''FRS''' to determine whether a startup is highly investable, structurally weak, promising but underprepared, or fully investment-ready. Within this framework, IQS reflects business quality while FRS measures fundraising preparedness. | The '''Capital Readiness Matrix''' maps '''IQS''' and '''FRS''' to determine whether a startup is highly investable, structurally weak, promising but underprepared, or fully investment-ready.
