Score
What is your capital earning?
Three questions. One score. Compounding, or slowly dying while looking busy. Takes five minutes if your financials are open.
Before we start
Do you sell a physical product?
This calculator isn't built for your business.
The Rule screens physical businesses where capital intensity varies by channel. For SaaS, the Rule of 40 (Growth + Margin ≥ 40%) is the established equivalent. For services, the constraint is labor, not inventory. For pre-revenue, there's no capital return to measure yet.
Question 01
How much capital do you have tied up right now?
Everything that's in the business and can't be used for anything else. Not revenue. Not sales. The pile of capital that's deployed.

Question 02
How much cash profit did you actually take home?
Not gross margin. Not EBITDA. Actual cash that came back after everything. Last 12 months.

Question 03
How fast are you growing from what you already have?
Organic growth only. Same stores, same channels, same products.
