SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

By Dean Peters (PM)

Diagnose your SaaS business health, spot red flags, and prioritize what to fix first.

Revenue Operations (RevOps)

• Defines lead lifecycle stages from subscriber to customer with clear entry and exit criteria
• Builds lead scoring models that combine fit (who they are) and engagement (what they do)
• Creates routing rules to get leads to the right sales rep based on territory, account, or round-robin
• Sets SLAs and handoff processes between marketing, sales, and customer success teams
• Designs pipeline stage frameworks with required fields and hygiene rules to prevent stale deals

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

• Assesses business health across four dimensions: growth & retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position
• Identifies red flags and categorizes them by urgency (critical, high priority, medium priority)
• Applies stage-specific benchmarks so early-stage businesses aren't judged by scale-stage standards
• Delivers a comprehensive scorecard with clear, prioritized action items
• Connects metrics together to reveal systemic issues (e.g., strong growth masking poor unit economics)
