CEO Diagnostic

The CEO Diagnostic is a 10-minute self-assessment that scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions: Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness. Built from CCA's PRISM and CLEAR frameworks, it shows a CEO where the number is moving before a buyer's diligence room asks the same questions. Nine in ten CEOs already report some AI value, per BCG's 2026 CEO survey; the open question this diagnostic answers is whether your company is positioned to scale it or stuck at pilot.

Common questions

What is the CEO Diagnostic?
A 10-minute self-assessment that scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions (Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness) and returns a composite band from Value Compounding to Value Leaking.
Who is it for?
CEOs of PE-backed and founder-led software companies who want a fast, honest read on where technology moves the number, and where a buyer's diligence room will find risk before they do.
How long does it take?
About 10 minutes. Nine questions, three per dimension, plus two quick context questions about hold period and ownership that reframe what your score means.
How is it different from the CTO Diagnostic?
The CEO Diagnostic reads technology as enterprise value: protection, creation, and exit readiness. The CTO Diagnostic reads the platform itself (architecture, security posture, and AI readiness) against what the next diligence room will ask. Different altitude, same frameworks underneath.
What do I get at the end?
A composite value band, a dimension-by-dimension read with a plain-English line for each, a context-adjusted interpretation, and the option of a human-written read from Sujit within 48 hours.
