Early-stage founders make critical decisions every day. Relying solely on intuition is not enough. A validated methodology for startups provides the scientific foundation needed to reduce uncertainty and guide strategic action.
What Makes a Methodology Scientifically Validated?
A validated methodology is built on structured analysis, tested criteria, and empirical data. In the Startup Ladder model, this includes:
- six strategic dimensions
- 30+ essential elements
- global comparative benchmarks
- behavioral and business research insights
This framework allows founders to evaluate their businesses with rigor and consistency.
