Rubric

Originality of Product/Service Offering - Has the business developed a new, creative, original, or innovative product or service to solve the market’s problem or meet demand? Or is the business offering a fairly typical product or service?
Business Model - Has the business developed a realistic plan to grow a profitable business by creating a strong management team, analyzing the competition, and creating a marketing strategy? Or does the plan seem unrealistic or flawed?
Financial Accuracy - Did the business outline accurate and realistic startup costs, projected revenue and monthly/annual cash flow? Or are significant cost categories missing or revenue numbers unrealistic and inflated?
Local Impact - Is the business based locally (Lincoln, Mitchell, Osborne and/or Russell counties) with the opportunity to make sales beyond the local area or draw customers into our local area?
Professional Document - Is the document well organized with no spelling errors and proper sentence structure and punctuation? Would the document be presentable to a banker/investor or not? Or is the document unprofessional with typos and poor grammar?
Ranking – When first scoring, give all businesses a score of 1 (No Placement). Then after reviewing ALL businesses, determine your top 4 and adjust those scores according to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Do NOT give more than one business the same placement.
