== IQS stage-based weightages ==
=== Funding Readiness Score ===
(keep exact same table)
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.
 
== Funding Readiness Score ==
The '''Funding Readiness Score (FRS)''' determines whether a startup is prepared for raising capital. It evaluates five major dimensions, each scored between 0 and 10. Final scoring is calculated using stage-based weightage allocation.
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;"
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;"
|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 scores and W<sub>i</sub> represents corresponding stage-based weightages. Final score remains on a scale of 10.
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.

== Capital Readiness Matrix ==
=== Capital Readiness Matrix ===
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.
