Built for
Metrix Score is built for business starters, with deeper guidance for contractors, tradespeople, and service businesses where licensing, insurance, customer acquisition, and operations matter early.
How Metrix Score Works
Six categories scored
Your business is evaluated across concept clarity, legal and admin, identity and brand, customer acquisition, market presence, and operations. Each category contributes to your overall Metrix Score.
Biggest gap identified
The system compares your category scores and identifies the area with the highest risk or most missing progress. This becomes your biggest gap — the one thing blocking your next step.
Priority selected by stage
Your current priority is selected based on your business stage, what you have completed, and what gaps remain. An idea-stage business gets different priorities than one that has customers but no follow-up system.
Roadmap ordered by impact
Your 6-step roadmap is ordered so the highest-impact action comes first. Each step includes recommended tools, scripts, and resources relevant to your trade and stage.
Recommendations are educational. Metrix Score does not provide legal, tax, insurance, or licensing advice. Always verify requirements with the appropriate authority.
