FAQs
What does the readiness score actually measure?
Great question! The score looks at critical factors for government contracting success—things like whether you’re registered on SAM.gov, how stable your revenue is, your past performance with contracts, and your grasp of compliance rules like the FAR. Each area gets a weighted value to reflect its importance, so your final score out of 100 gives a realistic snapshot of where you’re at.
How long does it take to get my results?
It’s super quick. The questionnaire takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, depending on how fast you go through the 10-15 questions. Once you’re done, your score, analysis, and tailored tips pop up instantly. You’ll have everything you need to start planning your next steps right away.
Are the improvement tips really useful, or just generic advice?
We’ve made sure the tips are specific to your results. Based on where your score is lowest—say, compliance knowledge or financial stability—you’ll get 2-3 practical suggestions. For example, if SAM.gov registration is a gap, we might point you to the exact steps to sign up. It’s all about giving you a clear path forward.
