SEF Maturity Assessment

Find the weak links that are costing your business money.

One to three days on site. 42 parts of your business scored against evidence. A report that shows the three to five weak links costing you the most, and what fixing them takes.

How the assessment runs: a free 20-minute introduction, a 45-minute scoping session, one to three days on site, the report on Day 12 and the go or park review on Day 15.

What you get

A score for every part of the business

42 criteria across sales, operations, quality, supply chain, finance and people. Each scored 1 to 5 against written levels, backed by evidence.

Your weakest links, traced to your books

The three to five low scores that cost the most to leave alone, where each one shows up in the books, and what fixing it takes.

A decision, not a to-do list

At the Day 15 review, each weak link gets a number and a call: go, or park. If doing nothing costs less than the fix, it gets parked.

Scores by area from the sample report: six areas, each with its average, tier and gap to Bronze, plus a radar chart.

Why owners trust it

  • Evidence, not opinion. Every score rests on documents, observation, statements and reports. No half scores.
  • Your numbers set the scope. Nothing is quoted until we have looked at them.
  • Your people own the fix. We find the weak links. Your team fixes them, with coaching. We are not the solution to what we find.
  • The method is public. 33 free guides show exactly how we score.

Good to know

  • Working with an Advisor? The findings go to them first, and they decide what happens next. Or come to SEF direct.
  • Private. Named people only, through a link that expires after 90 days. Your financial documents are deleted 90 days after we close.
  • Cost. Depends on scope. The paid 45-minute scoping session sets the quote, and its fee is applied if you go ahead.
  • Smaller company? Lower-priority areas can be dropped to fit your budget.
