How is the pressure score calculated?
The score combines macro indicators (inflation, interest, FX) with your internal cost, customer revenue, and cash-flow inputs to create a weighted index from 0 to 100.
Is the scanner the same as the Business Pressure Signal?
No. The Business Pressure Signal tracks broad national macroeconomic trends, while this scanner combines those macro signals with your specific operational data.
Does a high score mean the business will fail?
Not at all. A high score highlights active operational friction points, giving you clarity on where to adjust pricing, manage cash timing, or control costs before severe strain occurs.
Can economic pressure be separated from internal business problems?
Yes. That distinction is the primary purpose of this tool. It isolates market-wide inflation and FX pressure from internal bottlenecks like weak follow-up or delayed billing.
How often should a business run the scanner?
We recommend running the scan quarterly or whenever significant market shifts occur (such as sharp exchange rate changes or interest rate adjustments).
Does the scanner provide financial advice?
No. The scanner provides educational decision-support tools. Specific financial restructuring should be evaluated alongside qualified professionals.
