— Methodology

Your score isn't an AI opinion.

Pledgescore uses a fixed, stage-aware scoring framework across nine campaign-readiness factors. AI is used only afterward — to help interpret your answers and write personalized recommendations.

— Pledgescore badges

Turn your score into trust.

Every free assessment earns a Pledgescore badge — a verifiable readiness score anyone can click through and confirm for themselves: the score, the assessment date, and the methodology version behind it.

Score 0–69

You did the work. This proves it — a real pre-launch audit, not a self-reported claim.

Score 70–79

Close, with real fundamentals in place — a few clear gaps away from fully ready.

Score 80–89

Strong fundamentals across the board, verifiable by anyone who clicks through.

Score 90–100

Top-tier readiness across the Pledgescore assessment framework.

The score and assessment date are verified by Pledgescore.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Who is this service for?
Two groups, mainly. First-time and early-stage creators preparing to launch a campaign, whether that's a product, creative work, game, craft brand, community project, or donation-based fundraiser. And consulting studios, agencies, and freelancers who audit client campaigns before launch, which is what the Studio plan is built for.
What's the difference between Free, Creator, and Studio?
Free gets you a Campaign Readiness Assessment: your Pledgescore, a Pledgescore badge, top 3 findings, campaign-type context, and a shareable result — a real assessment, not a teaser. Creator ($39) unlocks the Campaign Improvement Plan: exact funding goal math, reward & giving-tier recommendations, two rewritten hook options, a backer FAQ, an influencer & promoter platform guide, a 30-day pre-launch checklist, ready-to-send launch copy, competitive positioning with similar-campaign research, and one free re-score — built from your free assessment, no new questions to answer. Studio ($249) is a 10-report pack for agencies, accelerators, or platforms running multiple campaigns, plus white-label PDF exports and priority support.
How accurate is the score?
In retrospective testing against 1,000+ completed campaigns, the scoring framework correctly classified 76% using our defined success criterion. The score itself is a fixed point system, not an AI guess — see exactly how it's computed →
Does my idea need to be finished?
No. Even a 200-word concept gives useful signal. More inputs = sharper score. Most users iterate: score, fix, re-score.
Will my idea be safe with you?
Yes, your idea is safe with us. We keep your assessment data for up to 2 years so you can track your progress over time, then delete or anonymize it — you can request earlier deletion any time. It's never sold, and never used to train models. NDAs available for Studio clients.
What if my score is low?
Good. That's exactly when the report saves you most — it's built to show you precisely what to fix before you launch, not just that something's wrong.

Don't launch blind.

— GETTING STARTED

What stage is your campaign at?

This decides which questions we ask next — a campaign that's still just an idea needs a different audit than one about to launch.
