Is your product ready to modernize?
Twelve questions across the five factors that decide whether a modernization ships or stalls. You leave with a scored readiness profile, the first move that fits it, and a board-ready PDF report — everything on screen the moment you finish.
Your readiness profile
Where you land on the two axes that matter: can the system change in slices, and can the work get funded.
A recommended first move
Not a program — one provable slice, sized to be approved, matched to your weakest dimension.
A board-ready PDF report
Your scores, what the gaps cost in business terms, and a 90-day sequence. Written to be forwarded.
An honest read
If you don't need outside help — or don't need to modernize yet — the report says so.

About this assessment.
What readiness means here, how it's scored, and what a low score is actually telling you.
- Is our legacy product actually ready to modernize?
- That's exactly what this assessment scores. Twelve behavior-based questions measure the five factors that decide whether a modernization ships or stalls — your codebase, architecture, delivery pipeline, AI readiness, and business momentum. You pick the statement closest to your reality; the score tells you whether the work would land or turn into a rescue mission.
- What does the readiness profile actually measure?
- Two axes that fail independently. The technical foundation: can the system be modernized safely, given its tests, seams, and release path? And business momentum: can the work get funded and stay funded? Plenty of modernizations die with a sound technical plan and no momentum — or funding and a foundation that can't take the load. The profile shows which side is your constraint.
- What do I get when I finish?
- A scored readiness profile across the five factors, a recommended first move sized to actually get approved, and a PDF report written for the budget conversation — on screen the moment you finish, no sales call attached.
- What if the result says we're not ready?
- Then the assessment just saved you the most expensive way to learn that — mid-rewrite. A low score comes with the specific factor holding you back and the first move that fixes it, which is often a scoped step like paying down the debt around one module rather than a full program. Not-ready is a starting point, not a verdict.
