Interpretation Framework

Clarity comes not only from knowing your stage, but also from understanding your exact position within it. BizCheck Horizon goes deeper by identifying sub-levels within each horizon, giving leaders sharper insight into where the organisation stands and what to do next.

Start-Up Horizon (0–49 points)

Companies in this range are still building their foundations. Systems may exist but are inconsistent or heavily dependent on individuals. The focus here is survival and stabilisation.

  • Weak Foundation (0–24 points): Operates reactively with minimal structured systems. Financial records are basic, governance is unclear, and employee or customer engagement is minimal.
    Next steps: Establish vision and mission, formalise governance, introduce basic SOPs and financial controls.
  • Built Foundation (25–49 points): Early structures exist (simple org chart, some financial tracking), but lack consistency.
    Next steps: Strengthen core processes, make financial reporting systematic, build consistent customer feedback channels.

Grow Horizon (50–74 points)

Organisations in this stage are beyond survival. Systems and strategies exist, but consistency and integration remain challenges.

  • Grow Early (50–59 points): Basic planning and HR practices exist, execution is uneven.
    Next steps: Broaden participation in planning, strengthen accountability across departments.
  • Grow Sustainably (60–67 points): Strategic plans communicated, governance improving, KPIs in some areas.
    Next steps: Expand KPI usage, align departments around shared goals, begin external benchmarking.
  • Grow Strong (68–74 points): Systems broadly applied, innovation emerging, integration incomplete.
    Next steps: Focus on cross-functional integration, adopt risk management, embed continuous improvement practices.

Fly Horizon (75–100 points)

Organisation is strong, sustainable, and forward-looking. Systems are continuously improved through innovation, benchmarking, and knowledge-sharing.

  • Low Fly (75–84 points): Systems mature but integration still being refined.
    Next steps: Strengthen collaboration across units, embed innovation in all processes.
  • High Fly (85–92 points): Advanced systems, routine benchmarking, strong customer loyalty.
    Next steps: Explore new markets, invest in technology, deepen ESG initiatives.
  • Superior Fly (93–100 points): Excellence embedded in culture, leadership succession clear, organisation resilient.
    Next steps: Position as industry thought leader, expand globally, continue innovation.

Why the Sub-Levels Matter: Each sub-level acts like a road sign on your growth journey. Instead of simply knowing that you are a “Grow company,” you learn whether you are at the early, stable, or strong stage of growth. This sharpens decision-making and focuses resources on urgent gaps. BizCheck Horizon answers not only “Where are we now?” but also “What must we do next?”
