For founders
Find the bottleneck before it finds you.
Every scaling startup is one constraint away from stalling: a misaligned exec, a broken handoff, a quiet attrition cliff. Run the same diagnostic an investor would run on you. Deck to Claim Ledger, your books checked against it, the Company Call scored, and a scored Deal Package inside 24 hours.

Findings ordered by severity
- New business is slow: 14% of closed deals were won, and wins took 132 days.
- The top 5 customers bring in 59.6% of revenue.
- Releases are frequent, but 22% of dated work finishes late.
Each finding is one declarative sentence with the causal string in it: the behavior, its date, and the evidence behind it. The signed opinion above them is issued when confidence clears the bar.
Against the alternative
Six to eight weeks, or twenty-four hours.

Frequently asked questions
I’m the founder. Do I really need a diagnostic to know what’s wrong?
Most founders think they know. Most are partly right and partly wrong, and the gap is where the company is bleeding speed. Zoe is data, not opinion. She shows you patterns in how your company actually operates that you can’t see from the inside, even if you’re running every meeting.
Is Zoe going to surface stuff my team doesn’t want me to see?
Probably. From your connected systems Zoe reads behavioral metadata, and in Slack she scores message text and then drops it, so message bodies are never stored. The documents she reads in full are the ones you place in the diagnostic on purpose: your deck, data-room files, and the Company Call transcript. But the patterns are real, and they tell the truth. Most founders find that the things Zoe surfaces are things their team has been trying to tell them indirectly for months.
How long does a diagnostic take to set up?
Drop your deck and Zoe builds the Claim Ledger. Your admin opens the signed link, accepts the DPA and connects books, CRM, GitHub, Jira and Slack in their own session, and Zoe only reads; you never hand over a login. Once the books are live Zoe checks the deck against them. Questions for the Company Call come from the ledger gaps, and the transcript is scored. Request the run and the Deal Package is ready inside 24 hours. No surveys, and nobody pulled off their work.
Can I run Zoe on my own company first to see what an investor would see?
Yes. In fact, that’s how we recommend founders use it before a fundraise. Run the same diagnostic your investors will eventually run, see the gaps yourself, fix the obvious ones, and walk into your next round with the operational story already buttoned up.
What is in a Deal Package?
The Zoe Score across nine dimensions with a confidence percentage and a coverage tier, the findings and how to read them, an IC memo, a signed opinion when confidence clears the bar, and an evidence appendix. Ask Zoe answers follow-up questions against your own Deal Package.
See what your investors will see, first.
Run Zoe on your own company: your deck becomes the Claim Ledger, your books are checked against it, the Company Call is scored, and the whole thing lands inside 24 hours of the run.
Rather not wait? Start a diagnostic, add the company’s deck, invite the company to connect, and receive the Deal Package inside 24 hours.
