Your responses will be a direct input to the calculation of your company’s Base RIC Score. It is not your full RIC Score. Your full RIC Score and certificate of completion comes after you have gone through Part 2, which is the 6-week evaluation done by Experts in Residence that will be assigned to your organization. Don’t worry. We will first discuss your Base RIC Score with you (and your Sponsor, if you are a qualified startup), and align on Part 2’s execution before proceeding to Part 2.

​

That said, please allocate ~30 minutes to 1 hour to thoughtfully fill out the questionnaire. It will ask about your company’s vision, financials, customer base, leadership hirings, employee satisfaction, legal affairs, and — last but not least — your data and AI capabilities. Please make sure that the person filling out the questionnaire is senior enough in your organization to be able to answer the questions above with breadth and depth.
