By the time your financial statements show a problem, it’s been forming for months.

A NEW WAY TO SEE BUSINESS

Numbers tell the story.
Signals tell you when it changes.

Every business is governed by five structural vital signs that determine whether it is strengthening, stable, weakening, or approaching failure.

Together, they form the Immune Score™ — a diagnostic view of the business beneath the financial statements, built to surface change while there is still time to act.

THE DIAGNOSTIC FRAMEWORK

Five Business
Vital Signs™

Five readings. One clearer picture of your business’s health.

01 / 05

Circulatory integrity

Cash Pulse™

The movement of money through the organism; the capacity to sustain operations through disruption.

STRUCTURAL VITAL SIGN
02 / 05

Metabolic efficiency

Margin Temperature™

Aggregate margin conceals variation; disaggregated margin reveals the truth.

STRUCTURAL VITAL SIGN
03 / 05

Rhythmic life continuity

Customer Heartbeat™

The earliest warning signal. Customer behavior changes precede every financial symptom.

STRUCTURAL VITAL SIGN
04 / 05

Expansion force

Revenue Blood Pressure™

Flat revenue is not equilibrium; a business not expanding is contracting.

STRUCTURAL VITAL SIGN
05 / 05

Capacity to sustain expansion

Growth Oxygen™

Growth without oxygen is the appearance of health during accelerating fragility.

STRUCTURAL VITAL SIGN

Your financial statements are an autopsy report. They tell you what already happened.
