Find the weakest link in your venture before it costs you

APAM is part of the Institutional Solutions

Are these your questions?

If you have no clear answer to one of them, the diagnosis starts here.

💰
Business Model Strength

Is the model profitable and sustainable?

⚙️
Institutional Operations

Does the organization run on a system or on individuals?

⚡
Founder Risk

Is the founder a strength or a risk?

A venture does not collapse from its total, but from its weakest link. A high score on eight axes does not protect a venture that falls apart on the ninth.— APAM’s Critical Axis Rule

Why you need this diagnosis now

Because most big decisions in a venture are made before you know where its weak point is.

Save your money and time

Spot the critical gap before pouring money into marketing, hiring or expansion, so you start with what saves the venture, not what pleases you.

Clear priorities, not a long list

The report separates the critical axes that need immediate action from the strengths you can build on.

A candid mirror, not flattery

Your result reflects your own answers. Your honesty with yourself is what gives the report its value, with no flattery and no exaggeration.

A shared language with partners and advisors

An A4 printable report you can show to a partner, investor or advisor, so the conversation starts from data, not impressions.

Track progress over time

Reassess every six months or at any strategic shift, and keep your assessment files to compare where you improved and where you did not.

Tailored to your stage and sector

Questions change between idea, start-up, growth and expansion, and across ten sectors, so you are never asked what does not concern you.

Nine axes, 45 questions, a score out of 225

Each axis measures a place where ventures typically fall, not what the founder would like to hear.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the tool after paying?

Your access code arrives by email. Open the tool from this page or the link in the email, enter the code, and start. The period is counted from your first sign-in, not from the payment.

What if I only want one analysis?

Choose the “Single assessment” plan for $19. You receive a code that works for 7 days from your first sign-in, in which you complete your assessment, save its file and print your report. If you need more later, buy any plan with the same email and your code is extended.

Can I download the tool?

No. The tool runs only on dralaali.com and always stays up to date. What you save is the data file of your assessments.

What if my subscription expires?

Your data is not lost; it is in a file you hold. Renew by buying any plan with the same email and your code works again; open your file and continue where you stopped.

Can I renew before it expires?

Yes. The new period is added to your remaining days.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, in any modern browser. Choosing where to save the file yourself is supported by Chrome and Edge on desktop; in other browsers the file goes to your downloads folder.

How do I get an edition under my organisation’s name?

Choose the “12 months, custom” plan and, after payment, send your organisation’s name; it appears in the tool and reports.

Can I share the code with my team?

The code is for one organisation. For team or incubator use, contact us for a special arrangement.

The next step after the diagnosis

Once APAM reveals the gaps in your venture, the question remains: how are they treated, and how does your organization become a system that runs without you? That is what SITOS works on. It is a separate system, and you do not need it to use APAM.
