Financial Advisor Viability Benchmark · Point-Based Scoring Engine v1.0
This market audit evaluates operational friction, regulatory compliance readiness, and commercial appetite among licensed financial advisors and agency team leads. Every answer now carries a transparent point value. Responses produce a weighted viability score (0–100), a verdict band, and a prioritised implementation roadmap.
Use the Compile Responses tab to merge multiple exports into one market-level Viability Index. Use Scoring Rubric to inspect or edit every weight and point value.
Paste one or more Save Scored JSON exports, the JSON downloaded from your free form inbox (Formspree/Netlify), a JSON array, a single object, or newline-delimited JSON — or pick the exported .json files. The engine recomputes every score from the raw answers using the current rubric, so rubric edits apply retroactively to old responses.
No data leaves this page. Compilation is pure client-side arithmetic.
Each pillar is normalised to its answered maximum, multiplied by its weight, then weights of answered pillars are re-normalised. This keeps an incomplete response comparable without inventing zeros for unanswered questions.
Formula: Score = 100 × Σ(pillar raw ÷ answered pillar max) × pillar weight ÷ Σ(answered pillar weights). Hard gates then cap the total.
| Respondents | Confidence | What you may conclude |
|---|---|---|
| < 10 | DIRECTIONAL ONLY | Anecdote. Use for interview prompts, never for a build/no-build decision. |
| 10 – 29 | INDICATIVE | Enough to rank features and choose a pilot wedge. Not enough to size revenue. |
| ≥ 30 | DECISION-GRADE (conditional) | Usable only if the sample is not one agency and includes a commitment question. |
