Scale with Confidence and Clarity

Download the free Scaleup Assessment Checklist to evaluate and de-risk your capital-intensive process technology.

Bringing a new industrial biotech, renewable fuels, or sustainable chemicals process to scale is high-stakes. One overlooked variable or financial assumption can cost millions and months or years of delay.. This checklist distills my proven framework into five critical categories so you can:

  • Pinpoint gaps in your data and process designs

  • Stress-test your mass, energy, and technoeconomic models

  • Validate equipment, supply chains, and QA/QC methods

  • Align product specs with market and regulatory demands

Use it to score your readiness, prioritize next steps, and build a scaleup roadmap that to guide you on the bumpy road of scaleup.

How to Use this Checklist

1. Score each item as Ready / In Progress / Not Started

2. Prioritize gaps by funding timeline and risk tolerance

3. Build a de-risk roadmap before the next scale milestone
