How it works

Upload a document. Get an answer you can check.

Every finding names the FDD Item and page it came from, so you can open the document and read the sentence yourself. That is the whole point.

01

Upload your FDD

The complete, searchable PDF the franchisor gave you. We read all 23 Items and map each one to its page range, so every finding can cite where it came from.

02

Get your free QuickScore

Ten categories, graded from the four corners of the document. Each carries its own confidence rating, and anything the FDD does not establish is marked N/A rather than guessed at.

03

Go deeper if it earns it

The Full FDD Evaluation grades all 100 factors individually, adds controlled external research against your target market, and returns a downloadable report.

Four questions, and only one of them changes anything

We ask these before the Full FDD Evaluation. Your ZIP code activates market research for that geography. The other three are stored for context and deliberately do not affect the franchise’s objective score — the same FDD scores the same for everyone.

📍

Where do you plan to operate?

A ZIP code lets us research demand, competition, demographics and labour conditions for that market. This is the only answer that affects your score.

💰

How much capital do you plan to invest?

Stored for context alongside the disclosed investment range. It does not change the franchise’s grade.

👤

What role do you expect to play?

Owner-operator, semi-absentee or manager-run. Stored for context; it does not change the grade.

📈

One location or several?

Stored for context. Multi-unit economics are graded from the FDD, not from your intention.
