CEO Diagnostic
The CEO Diagnostic is a 10-minute self-assessment. It scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions: Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness. It is built from CCA's PRISM and CLEAR frameworks. It shows a CEO which areas affect valuation before a buyer's diligence room asks the same questions. BCG's 2026 CEO survey found that nine in ten CEOs already report some AI value. This diagnostic shows whether your company is positioned to scale that value or is still at the pilot stage.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- What is the CEO Diagnostic?
A 10-minute self-assessment. It scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions: Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness. It returns a composite band from Value Compounding to Severe Value Loss.
- Who is it for?
CEOs of PE-backed and founder-led software companies. It gives a fast, honest read on where technology affects valuation and where a buyer's diligence room will find risk before you do.
- How long does it take?
About 10 minutes. There are nine questions, three per dimension. Two quick context questions, on hold period and ownership, adjust 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. Both use the same frameworks at a different level of detail.
- 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.
