12 questions across four functional areas. Get a clear, honest picture of your operational readiness and know precisely where to focus before IND
YOUR SCORE PLACES YOU IN ONE OF THREE BANDS
Operationally Strong
Your infrastructure can handle what's coming. You'll see exactly where to sustain it as the program scales.
Operational Gaps Present
You'll see which disconnects are compounding quietly and what to address before they become delays.
Significant Operational Risk
You'll know exactly what structural risk your program is carrying and what would change fastest with the right intervention.
Not sure if you're ready? The assessment takes just 5 minutes.
Most operational gaps are invisible until they become delays. This assessment surfaces them while you still have time to act.
Operations and governance
See whether your program has the visibility, decision flow, and structural resilience to operate under pressure, not just when everything is going well.
Regulatory and quality
Find out whether your regulatory strategy is documented well enough to survive a team change, an investor question, or a pre-IND meeting.
Partners, clinical and CMC
Understand whether CRO and CDMO delays would reach you in time to act. CMC is the most common source of IND delays.
Executive and board
Know whether you can answer hard investor questions within 48 hours and whether your board is seeing a real picture of program status.
Your readiness score
An honest, calibrated number that tells you where your program sits relative to what IND demands.
Cluster breakdown
A score for each of the four functional areas so you can see precisely where the risk is concentrated.
What to address first
Plain-language guidance on what your lowest cluster means and what closes that gap fastest at your stage.

“When MustardSeed came in, we had strong plans across functions but no unified view of how everything connected. They built an integrated master schedule and tools that brought everything into one system, giving us real transparency into dependencies and risks. Within weeks, leaders were identifying gaps they hadn’t seen before, and we’re now planning and executing faster with greater confidence.”
