The short version

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

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

Compliance Checklist

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Generate prioritized compliance checklists and gap analyses for GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, and more.

What each one does

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)

Compliance Checklist

  • Generates framework-specific compliance checklists with control categories, gap analysis, and priority levels
  • Identifies quick wins that can be implemented in under two weeks with minimal resources
  • Maps evidence requirements to each control area so you know what documentation you'll need
  • Builds a phased implementation roadmap from critical gaps through ongoing maintenance
  • Flags common pitfalls based on your organization's maturity level
