Business Health Scorecard
Get a comprehensive letter grade across four critical dimensions of business health: profitability, liquidity, growth, and efficiency.
Your Numbers
Your Score
Overall Score: 78/100
Strong profitability with healthy margins. You are generating solid returns on revenue.
Adequate liquidity but keep building your cash reserves. Monitor burn rate closely.
Moderate growth. Consider new channels, product improvements, or market expansion to accelerate.
Excellent operational efficiency. Your cash conversion cycle is well-managed.
How it works
The scorecard evaluates your business across four dimensions. Profitability measures how effectively you convert revenue into profit, considering both net and gross margins. Liquidity assesses your cash position and ability to meet obligations, factoring in runway and quick ratio. Growth tracks your revenue momentum against common benchmarks. Efficiency examines how well you manage your cash conversion cycle through accounts receivable and payable.
The formula
Why it matters for your business
Benchmarks differ by stage and industry. A pre-revenue startup with a D in profitability but an A in growth is doing exactly what it should. A mature business with the same scores has a serious problem. Use the scorecard as a diagnostic tool, not a final judgment -- context matters enormously.
Pro tip
Do not optimize for the overall grade -- focus on your weakest category. A business with A+ growth but D liquidity is a ticking time bomb. The weakest dimension is usually the one that kills companies, not the average across all four.
