Step 5 of 30 · Research & analysis
Internal analysis
What it is
A candid inventory of the founder's skills, assets, network, constraints, and missing capabilities.
Why it matters
A strong opportunity still fails when the team cannot execute it or ignores its own limits.
What Flir develops
Founder-and-team capability map, resource inventory, and prioritized gap plan
Target objective
Know which advantages to exploit, which gaps to close, and what should be hired, partnered, or bought.
Bloom's founder can teach plant care but cannot build an app, so she tests a no-code version before hiring technical help.
Monitoring brief
Signals Flir should keep checking as this part of the plan evolves.
- Changing talent availability and rates
- New tools that remove capability gaps
- Founder capacity and execution bottlenecks
