How AVIVA Score™ works

Work backward from a fundable, stable company.

AVIVA Score™ shows what a company must have in place to reach its next stage, then turns that view into a practical plan for formation, financing, and commercial execution.

AVIVA Score™

Build readiness for the company you need to become.

AVIVA Score™, our proprietary Company Formation Index, provides a structured assessment across three decision gates. The model is built around over 400 questions designed by a subject matter expert in technology transfer. Our team reviews the findings and helps you decide what to build next.

AI helps synthesize data and search IP or market information. Scoring draws on the expert-designed framework and human review; AI is not the sole determiner.

Research asset

Can the science support a company?

Spinout Readiness examines the basis for leaving the institution and forming an independent venture.

  • IP ownership and freedom to operate
  • Translational evidence
  • Regulatory path
  • Manufacturing feasibility

From score to action

The assessment defines how to move forward.

AVIVA turns the score into an operating plan, accountable leaders, and a milestone sequence that moves the company toward its next fundable, stable stage.

Measure

See what the next stage requires

Review the asset or company against the decision criteria that matter now.

Prioritize

Sequence the work

Separate urgent constraints from items that belong to a later company milestone.

Build

Assign operating ownership

Put experienced leaders behind the priorities that must be completed before the company advances.

The AVIVA Pathway

Four stages. One accountable operating arc.

The score sets the operating priorities. The pathway organizes company formation and execution around completing them.

01 · Research asset

Diagnose

Determine whether the asset has the scientific, legal, regulatory, and manufacturing basis for a spinout.

02 · Company formation

Build

Form the entity, secure the IP foundation, define the development path, and establish operating ownership.

03 · Investor readiness

Strengthen

Build the evidence, team, and business model required before a financing process tests them.

04 · Commercial readiness

Scale

Prepare access, channels, launch leadership, and commercial execution around the asset.

Put the score to work

Practical company-building support, built around your priorities.

The score becomes a practical action plan. AVIVA will guide company formation, embed leadership, structure capital, and develop the commercial plan required for the next stage. For organizations that need recurring support, AVIVA provides score access, expert review, and hands-on guidance across a portfolio.

Company architecture

Formation with a purpose

Entity, ownership, governance, and development choices align around a viable operating plan.

Operating leadership

Accountability inside the work

Experienced operators take responsibility for milestones instead of stopping at a recommendation.

Capital structure

Financing matched to the stage

Capital strategy reflects the evidence, timing, and risk that the company must carry next.

Commercial preparation

Launch choices made early

Access, channels, and market requirements enter the company plan before they become late constraints.

Methodology

Clear enough to guide action. Protected enough to stay defensible.

Each gate's focus and factors are described openly here. Internally, AVIVA designates the gates CRI-1, CRI-2, and CRI-3, and the scoring weights, thresholds, and priority logic remain proprietary.
