Founders, CTOs and CEOs make million-dollar decisions about their technology — hiring, scaling, fundraising, enterprise sales — without an objective way to know where they actually stand. Technical audits stay technical. Business leaders get opinions, not numbers.
TechPulse changes that. TTR-2026 turns the state of your software development process into a clear score and business indicators a board can act on - and the public register turns that score into something anyone can verify.
“Is our tech ready to scale? Can we close that enterprise deal? Will the platform survive 10x growth?” No one gives you a straight answer — just opinions and caveats.
A single Readiness Score (0–100) and Level (A–F) that objectively answers “where do we stand” — backed by evidence, not opinion. A clear remediation roadmap that tells you exactly what to fix first and why it matters to the business.
You know the weak spots, but you can’t quantify them in a way the board understands. Technical debt is invisible until it blows up. There’s no shared language between engineering and the C-suite.
Every technical finding is automatically translated into Business Impact Indicators — cost, time, capacity, exposure. You finally have the language to show the board what technical debt actually costs, and a prioritized plan they’ll approve.
Due diligence on technology is a black box. You see cost lines and headcount, but not the risk underneath. Every audit gives you a different answer depending on who runs it.
An objective, repeatable assessment based on a public methodology — the same score regardless of who runs it. Comparable quarter over quarter. Technology risk quantified in financial terms you already work with.
TTR-2026 is an open audit framework that evaluates a software development process end-to-end. Technology-agnostic, calibrated to your strategic stage, and fully public — anyone can read, verify and challenge the methodology.
From Security and Infrastructure to Governance, Team Organization and AI Readiness. Nothing left uncovered.
One number for the whole org and one per domain. Mapped to a clear readiness level everyone understands.
Every technical finding is translated into cost, time, capacity or exposure — numbers a CFO can act on.
Enterprise, Rescue, Growth, Launch — the weights shift based on your strategic goal so the score stays relevant.
Scope qualification, profile selection, evidence collection, scoring and documentation. Structured and repeatable.
Public standard under CC BY-ND 4.0. Same methodology every time — your Q2 score is directly comparable to Q1.
Whether you want a structured DIY assessment or a fully automated platform — the methodology stays the same. The score means the same thing either way.
The Weights Matrix, scoring workbooks, evidence checklists and report templates. Run a structured self-assessment in-house — no platform required.
Automated evidence collection wired into your stack — Git, CI/CD, cloud, observability. Live Readiness Score, cycle-over-cycle diff, and an MCP server for AI agents.
Anyone may apply TTR-2026 - it is public under CC BY-ND 4.0. What cannot be self-declared is who was qualified to run the assessment and whether the resulting score holds up. TechPulse operates the register that answers both.
For the individual who runs the assessment. Five training modules, a written exam and a scored practical case, then the right to sign a report under your own registry ID.
Certification path →For the firm that delivers assessments commercially. A licence to run TTR-2026 audits under the Tech Readiness™ mark, with the tooling and the quality controls attached.
Partner program →For the assessed organization. Your score is reviewed against the evidence and entered in the public register, where an investor can check it without going through you.
How verification works →TechPulse was founded by engineers and technology leaders who spent years building, scaling and auditing software products — from early-stage startups to enterprise platforms. We built the standard we wished existed when investors asked “how’s the tech?” and the only honest answer was “it depends.”
The TTR-2026 methodology is the result of hundreds of real-world assessments distilled into a repeatable, defensible framework. No opinions — just structured evidence and business math.
TTR-2026 opens with four qualification criteria, and an organization that fails them cannot be scored meaningfully. Read the standard and answer them yourself - it takes about ten minutes and costs nothing.
