How many business assessments does IBEAN offer?

IBEAN offers 80+ foundational business assessments across 5 core domains — Enterprise, Startup, Functional, Strategic, and Leadership & Governance — plus a dedicated Regulatory & Compliance Suite covering India-specific regulations.

What is the difference between IBEAN assessment domains?

Enterprise assessments evaluate overall business health and readiness. Startup assessments focus on founder capability and investor readiness. Functional assessments diagnose individual functions (Finance, Marketing, Sales, Operations, HR). Strategic assessments evaluate direction and competitive positioning. Leadership & Governance assessments evaluate board and management capability.

Can I take an IBEAN assessment without committing to consulting?

Yes. IBEAN assessments are available on a self-serve basis through the platform. Guided assessments (with an IBEAN analyst) are also available. Assessment results are actionable on their own — there is no obligation to proceed to a consulting engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business Assessments — Common Questions

10 Questions

Level 1 (Rapid Diagnostic) is a 2–5 hour session that identifies your top three constraints and produces an immediate action priority list — ideal for a quick health check or confirming a known problem. Level 2 (Comprehensive Assessment) covers a full capability domain over 4–8 hours, producing a detailed scored findings report with gap analysis and peer benchmarking. Level 3 (Full Business Diagnostic) is a 2–4 week engagement covering all five domains — Enterprise Health, Functional, Strategic, Leadership, and Regulatory — producing a board-ready transformation blueprint. Level 1 gives you clarity; Level 3 gives you the complete roadmap.

No. The assessment is a standalone, fixed-fee engagement. There is no obligation to proceed with any additional service. The findings report is yours regardless of what you decide next. In practice, most clients who receive a Level 2 or Level 3 assessment do proceed with at least one advisory engagement — because the report identifies specific, quantified gaps and recommends the exact service required to close each gap.

IBEAN's assessment framework covers five domains: Enterprise Health (financial stability, governance, risk management), Functional Capabilities (Finance, Marketing, Sales, Operations, HR — each assessed independently), Strategic Capability (vision clarity, planning quality, execution track record), Leadership Capability (founder/CEO effectiveness, leadership team depth, succession readiness), and Regulatory & Compliance Posture (industry-specific compliance, data governance, legal risk). Each domain produces a score from 0–100 with dimension-level breakdown.

Level 1 Rapid Diagnostic is fixed-fee and designed to be accessible — the exact fee is confirmed on first contact based on your business size and domain focus. Level 2 Comprehensive Assessments are priced per domain. Level 3 Full Business Diagnostics are scoped individually based on organisation size, complexity, and number of domains required. All fees are fixed before engagement — there are no billable hours or scope creep charges. Contact the advisory team for a fee confirmation specific to your situation.

Every IBEAN engagement includes a formal outcome verification protocol. We re-run the same assessment instrument at 90 days and 12 months after any consulting engagement that follows an assessment. This produces an objective improvement score — not a self-reported progress update. The delta between baseline and follow-up scores is your measurable outcome. This is non-negotiable: we do not claim improvement without measured evidence.

Level 1 Rapid Diagnostic: preliminary findings briefed within 24 hours, full report within 3 business days. Level 2 Comprehensive Assessment: full report within 5 business days. Level 3 Full Business Diagnostic: full report within 10 business days. All reports include scored findings per dimension (0–100), prioritised gap analysis, sector peer benchmark, and specific consulting engagement recommendations where gaps are identified.

Yes — and this is one of the most common use cases for Level 2 and Level 3 assessments. The executive summary and benchmark sections are formatted for board and investor audiences. An independent third-party assessment provides evidence of business health, operational maturity, and strategic readiness that internal management accounts alone cannot convey. For fundraising contexts, IBEAN assessments have been used successfully in pre-Series A, M&A due diligence, and lender credit presentations.

Three critical differences. First, IBEAN uses structured diagnostic instruments — not interviews alone — producing quantified scores rather than subjective opinions. Second, every finding is benchmarked against real sector peers, so you know not just where you score but where you stand relative to top-quartile organisations in your industry. Third, the assessment concludes with specific, sequenced recommendations with ROI estimates — not a generic list of best practices. The result is a document that can be acted on immediately, not a framework document that requires further interpretation.

Both modes are supported. Level 1 and Level 2 assessments are typically conducted remotely via structured interview sessions, document review, and digital assessment instruments — reducing cost and scheduling friction. Level 3 Full Business Diagnostics usually include a combination of remote sessions and at least one on-site week for stakeholder interviews and operational observation. For regulated industries (Healthcare, Financial Services, Manufacturing), on-site elements are recommended to ensure diagnostic accuracy.

The findings are evidence-based, not advisory opinion — each score is derived from documented responses to structured diagnostic instruments, cross-referenced against observable operational data where available. If a client believes a specific score is incorrect, we walk through the evidence behind that dimension together. In most cases, the diagnostic reveals problems that leadership suspected but had not quantified. Disagreement is treated as a diagnostic signal in itself — it often indicates that the gap between leadership perception and operational reality is larger than the score suggests.
