THE BPE IVS+ FRAMEWORK
A structured assessment for serious founders
Our framework evaluates the proposition across five key areas, so you understand what is working, what needs development and where stronger evidence is required.
Viability
Is there credible demand and a realistic commercial model?
Scalability
Can it create skilled jobs and grow nationally and internationally?
Founder Fit
Do you have the right experience, capability and role?
Evidence
Can your material claims be substantiated with credible evidence?
WHAT YOUR ASSESSMENT COVERS
A compelling business idea is not necessarily an endorsement-ready business proposition.
Many promising ideas require further development, stronger evidence or a clearer commercial strategy before progressing to a full Innovator Founder business plan.
Our assessment identifies those issues early, so you can focus your time, resources and investment where they matter most.
InnovationOriginality, USP, proprietary depth and barriers to replication
ViabilityCustomers, revenue model, finances, resources and execution
ScalabilityGrowth, jobs, repeatability and UK/international expansion
Founder–Business FitRelevant experience, capability, contribution and role
Evidence & CredibilitySupporting information, validation and internal consistency
CLEAR RECOMMENDATIONS
Your assessment concludes with a straightforward professional recommendation.
Proceed
Strong foundation for full business-plan development.
Proceed subject to development
Good potential, with identifiable areas to strengthen first.
Restructure
Viable opportunity, but significant redevelopment is recommended.
Not currently recommended
Material weaknesses mean we would not advise progressing at this stage.

FAQ
Before you start
This service is designed for prospective Innovator Founder entrepreneurs who want an informed professional view of the underlying business proposition before investing in full preparation.
Does this tell me whether my visa will be approved?
No. This is an assessment of the underlying business proposition and its readiness for Innovator Founder business-plan development. It is not immigration advice, an endorsement decision or a guarantee of any immigration outcome.
Is the assessment produced entirely by AI?
No. Technology supports the analysis, but the service is based on the structured BPE IVS+ methodology and is professionally reviewed before issue.
What do I need to provide?
You will complete a structured business questionnaire, provide your CV and share any useful supporting material already available, such as product information, customer evidence, existing research or financial assumptions.
What is not included?
The £250 service does not include full market research, financial forecasting, business-plan drafting, endorsement services or legal/immigration advice.
What happens if the idea is weak?
We will say so. The report may recommend development, restructuring or that the current proposition should not yet proceed to full business-plan preparation.
