AXIS readiness score

A readiness score you can check yourself.

Twenty-five questions across seven dimensions, and one number out of a hundred at the end. Every option carries its published weight as you answer it, and the result screen shows the working, so you can check the number rather than take it.

See what it measures

Eight minutes. No email to see your result.

Based entirely on your answers. Nothing here is verified, this is not an AXIS asset rating, and it does not replace diligence. Methodology version bank-2026.09.

What AXIS is

A readiness score, and the seven things it measures.

AXIS asks twenty-five questions about your asset and returns one number out of a hundred. It is not a valuation and not an opinion on whether the asset is good. It measures one thing: how close you are to a package a licensed firm, an investor or a venue will accept without sending it back.

Why it matters

Most tokenization work fails on the same handful of gaps, and they are cheap to fix early and expensive to fix late. Knowing which two of the seven are yours changes what you do next month, and it changes what a first conversation is worth.

Why you can trust the number

Every answer carries a published weight, visible before you answer. Every one of the seven axes are repaired by firms that are not us. And we sell tokenization, which is exactly why the arithmetic is open rather than hidden behind a form.

Seven axes

One score, seven directions.

One number, averaged from seven axes. Each axis names what it asks and the role that repairs a weak answer, and not one of those roles is Stobox.

3

Whether there is a route to a buyer, or only a hope of one.

a licensed broker-dealer or placement agent

Whether the rules that bind the asset are written down and enforceable by someone other than you.

a corporate lawyer, and a transfer agent

Risk Mitigation

3

What happens when something goes wrong, decided before it does.

an insurance broker, and an escrow agent

Five questions on one axis and three on another is deliberate: the axes that sink a deal most often carry more of them. A skipped question counts as unanswered rather than as a zero, and not one of the seven repairs is Stobox – the report names counsel, an auditor, a broker or an agent, whichever it is.

What your score means

Three bands, and what each one means for you.

0–49Early
0100

Early stage

Start with the structure, not the token. The report says which of the seven to take first, and it is rarely the technical one.

50–69The middle
0100

Moderate readiness

Fix two things first. Two or three axes carry almost the whole deficit, and the report names them.

70+And above
0100

High readiness

You are ready to take this to a licensed firm. Expect questions about detail rather than about structure.

The bands are a reading of the number, not a second calculation. Two points either side of a boundary is noise, and a band never changes what the report says: the weak axes are named individually whichever band you land in.

Method

How the readiness score is calculated.

Five steps, transcribed from the arithmetic the result screen runs. Methodology version bank-2026.09.

  1. 01

    Answer twenty-five questions across seven axes

    Legal and Compliance 4, Asset Quality 5, Technology and Protocol 4, Transparency 3, Liquidity and Markets 3, Governance 3 and Risk Mitigation 3.

  2. 02

    Every option carries a published weight

    From 0 to 10, printed next to the option before you choose it. Where a question allows several answers, the ticked weights are averaged. Not sure yet leaves the question unanswered; it never counts as a zero.

  3. 03

    Each axis is the average of its answered weights, times ten

    So every axis lands between 0 and 100, rounded to a whole number. An axis with nothing answered is left out rather than scored.

  4. 04

    The overall score is the average of the axes

    The mean of every axis that has at least one answer, rounded. Two averages and a multiplication, which is why it can be redone by hand.

  5. 05

    The number is read against three bands

    70 and above is High Readiness, 50 to 69 is Moderate Readiness, below 50 is Early Stage. The two weakest axes are named whichever band you land in.

Checklist

Tokenization readiness checklist.

The same twenty-five questions the score asks, grouped by axis. Work through them on paper, or run the score and see the weight each answer carries. Question bank bank-2026.09.

Legal and Compliance

  • Which jurisdiction are you targeting?
  • What regulatory filing or exemption are you using?
  • What KYC/AML solution will you use for investor onboarding?
  • Has qualified counsel issued a written opinion on how your token is characterized under securities law?

Asset Quality

  • What type of asset are you looking to tokenize?
  • What is the approximate value of the asset?
  • Has the asset been independently audited or appraised?
  • How much debt currently sits on the asset?
  • What is the credit quality of the counterparties who pay the asset's income (tenants, borrowers, offtakers)?

Technology and Protocol

  • What token standard and blockchain are you planning to use?
  • What custody solution will you use for digital assets?
  • How will you manage the cap table and shareholder registry on-chain?
  • What is the smart contract audit status of the exact code you will deploy?

Transparency

  • How recent are your most recent audited financial statements?
  • What ongoing reporting cadence are you committing to token holders after the offering?
  • How ready is your investor data room?

Liquidity and Markets

  • How developed is your investor pipeline?
  • Who is your target investor profile?
  • What secondary market or exchange access do you plan for token holders?

Governance

  • Does your company have a formal board of directors?
  • What voting rights will token holders have?
  • Do your offering documents define a fiduciary duty to token holders, and how would holders enforce it?

Risk Mitigation

  • How many months can your company operate without using any money from the raise?
  • What happens if you raise less than your target amount?
  • Where will investor money sit between subscription and closing?

Beyond the token

Readiness for a raise, not only a token.

The seven axes are the questions a licensed firm, an investor or a lender asks before money moves, whether or not a token is ever issued. A weak answer on Legal or Transparency stops a priced round as surely as it stops an issuance.

The score is self-reported. The next step is a verified company record, where each answer carries the document behind it. For the advisory that takes an asset from structure to issuance, see asset tokenization advisory.

What you get

Not a PDF. A record that stays live.

The score, dated

Your number out of a hundred, with the date it was produced and the version of the question bank behind it.

Seven axes drawn

Where the deficit actually sits, so you are not guessing which dimension pulled the average down.

Every answer with its weight

Your own arithmetic, laid out, so the total can be checked by hand.

The next option up

For each weak answer, the option immediately above it, which is the smallest real change available.

Who fixes it

Named by role, including all the cases where the role is not us.

Version history

Run it again in six months and the earlier runs stay, so movement is visible rather than asserted.

Spatial render: seven record modules in an open arc around one shared specification plate

One methodology, two configurations

The set you run here is the issuer configuration. There is a second one, run by the people on the other side of the table, with their own thresholds and a different idea of what a weak answer costs. Naming that out loud is fairer than pretending this score is the only reading of your asset.

Three things this is not

We sell tokenization, so we have an interest in your answer. That is why the weights are published.
Every answer is self-reported and unverified. Nothing here is checked against a document.
It is not advice and not a pass. Listing decisions rest solely with the venue.

Objections

Eight fair questions about a score sold by the party being measured.

These are the objections we hear in the first call, put in writing before you ask them. The answer to each one is a mechanism you can check rather than a reassurance – a published weight, a named role, a numbered bank version.

You sell tokenization. Why would I trust your score?

You should not have to. Every weight is published before you answer anything, the arithmetic is two averages and a multiplication. Redo it by hand and see whether you get our number. That is the whole design.

Is a low score a sales pitch for your services?

Every one of the seven axes is repaired by a firm that is not us: counsel, auditors, brokers, insurers. The report names the role for each weak answer, and it says so when the role is not Stobox.

What stops me answering optimistically?

Nothing, and the score says so out loud: self-reported and unverified. The number is worth what your honesty is worth. Where it matters, the licensed firm on the other side will ask for the document.

Twenty-five questions cannot cover a real asset.

Correct. Twenty-five questions find the gaps that stop most deals; they are not diligence and they do not pretend to be. What they buy you is knowing which two axes to spend money on before anyone else looks.

Does a high score mean I will get listed?

No. Listing decisions rest solely with the venue, and no score obliges anyone to accept anything. A high score means the package is unlikely to be sent back for a structural reason.

Is this an AXIS asset rating?

No. This is a readiness assessment of your own answers. It is not a rating, it is not an opinion on value, and it is not advice of any kind.

What happens to my answers?

They stay in your browser, under the key stobox.axis25.v1, until you ask for the written report. That promise is checkable: open the network tab and run the whole thing.

Will the weights change under me?

Only in a numbered release of the bank. The current one is bank-2026.09, it is printed next to your result, and an old run keeps the version it was scored under.

Twenty-five questions, about eight minutes.

No email to see the result, and nothing leaves your browser until you ask for the report.

Or bring the score to a call.

Thirty minutes goes further when both sides already know which two axes are the problem.
