Given a messy real-looking growth-stage SaaS metric set (35% growth, NRR 91%, Rule of 40 far under 25, 8-month runway), it correctly computed Rule of 40, picked the right named diagnostic pattern (Moderate, not Concerning) per its own threshold table, and explicitly flagged the missing Magic Number as a gap rather than guessing it — a baseline answer gave the same directional advice but with no thresholds, no computed Rule of 40, and no named severity tier. The SKILL.md points to an `examples/` folder and a sibling `workshop-facilitation` skill for its interaction protocol; the examples folder does not exist in the repo at all (directory listing confirms only SKILL.md is present) and workshop-facilitation lives outside the skill's own install path.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Business Health Diagnostic does

Runs an interactive four-part SaaS health interview (growth/retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, strategic position) and returns a scored diagnostic: a health scorecard, red flags split into Critical/High/Medium against named numeric thresholds, and a prioritized action plan benchmarked by company stage. Triggers when preparing a board meeting, QBR, or fundraise, or whenever metrics are mixed and the user needs to know what to fix first.
