What you can actually do inside RAISE READY
Financial Model Audit
Review the logic behind your numbers, including revenue, expenses, timing, runway and the assumptions driving the model.
Assumptions Builder
Identify the assumptions underneath your model and separate the grounded ones from the optimistic, unsupported or unclear ones.
Use of Funds Builder
Work through where the capital goes, when it is deployed, how long it needs to last and whether the spending plan supports the raise you are asking for.
Scenario Planning Worksheet
Pressure-test conservative, base and upside cases so the model is not dependent on perfect execution.
Investor Question Bank
Prepare for the questions that start coming once somebody looks closely at the numbers, assumptions and capital plan.
Model-to-Deck Alignment Review
Catch contradictions between your financial model, pitch deck, capital ask, assumptions and business story.
Final Review & Repair Plan
Identify what still needs to be cleaned up before your materials go into serious funding conversations.

No. You do not submit your model, deck, or other documents to TBM as part of this product.
The Capital Readiness Assessment runs privately in your browser. Your answers, company information, scores, and report are not sent to TBM or stored in an account.
You can still use the kit.
You do not need a polished spreadsheet to begin. The process is designed to help you identify missing information, unsupported assumptions, unclear calculations, and inconsistencies while the model is still being developed.
A gap is useful information. Mark it, understand what is missing, and use the relevant section of the kit to work through it.
It is a private, browser-based diagnostic software included with the kit.
You will work through 30 guided questions across nine readiness categories. Each question includes a TBM Note explaining what to examine and what founders commonly overlook.
At the end, you receive an overall score, category breakdown, priority areas, practical next steps, and a downloadable branded report. Use that report to decide which sections of RAISE READY need your attention first.
No. RAISE READY is designed for founders, producers, project owners, and operators who are building or reviewing financial projections before presenting them to investors, lenders, partners, or other capital sources.
No. RAISE READY and the Capital Readiness Assessment are educational tools. They do not provide legal, accounting, securities, tax, investment, or fundraising advice, and they do not predict investor interest or financing outcomes.
