The FPPP diagnostic
The free scan shows you where you stand on the criteria it asks, and where your own answers contradict each other. What it cannot tell you is whether you would pass — none of the criteria that decide that is in it. The diagnostic runs the whole pack, those included, and says what to do about what it finds, in what order, and what each item costs in calendar time.
All 73 criteria, not 15
The free scan covers all nine areas at a third of the depth. The diagnostic runs the whole pack — including every criterion a sponsor cannot give the confirmation without.
Priority × effort
Which findings a sponsor needs closed, plotted against what each one costs in calendar time — so the sequence is visible rather than argued.
Sequencing, not a flat list
A finding that is the consequence of another is marked as one and ranked below it. One missing group risk register is one workstream, not seven.
Recommendation and owner per finding
What to do, roughly how long it takes, and whether it is your team, an external advisor, or us.
How the foundations get closed
For the gates and the criteria other criteria stand on, the ordered steps the work actually runs in — and where the binding input is calendar time rather than money, which step says so.
The exec-summary letter list
The lettered findings in the shape a readiness report actually uses, and the whole thing as a PDF.
See it before you decide
The whole diagnostic, run over a fictional issuer's answers and published in full — the executive summary, the priority × effort grid, the sequencing, every finding with its effort and owner, and the same PDF and Excel exports. Produced by the product rather than written for the page, so it cannot flatter it.
Already have access?
Opening the diagnostic asks for a username and password — your browser will show its own sign-in box. We issue those credentials with the engagement; they are not a sign-up, and there is no account to create. Nothing else on this site asks you to sign in.

For scale: the published band for technical-accounting IPO readiness work is $0.3m–$0.8m. That figure is PwC’s own, and it is quoted here with its source and date rather than as a saving we invented — we would rather you check it than take it from us. PwC, Considering an IPO? The costs of going and being public (September 2012)
£5,000
One-off, per diagnostic — not a subscription, and there is nothing to cancel. It covers the full run over all the criteria, the report, the PDF and the workbook, and the credentials that open it.
The closest free tool to ours is Deloitte’s IPO SelfAssess, which promises tailored results within two business days. Ours answers in ten minutes, in your own browser, with nothing stored and nobody to talk to first.
How to buy it
By email. There is no checkout on this site and no account to create. The order step composes the message for you — company, listing route, target admission month — and hands it to your own mail client; you get back an invoice and the credentials that open the diagnostic. Nothing you have typed into the free scan reaches us on the way, and nothing typed on the order page is submitted anywhere either.
Closing what the diagnostic finds is work your own team and your own advisers do. If you would rather we were involved in it beyond the diagnostic itself, that is a separate engagement with its own scope and its own terms, and it starts with the same email.
Don’t have access?
Start with the free scan — 15 criteria across all nine areas, run entirely in your browser with nothing stored. It is the same engine and the same pack, and it will contradict you where your own answers collide. What it deliberately leaves out is the 7 criteria that stop a listing outright: every one of them is in the diagnostic, and none is in the free scan.
A management tool, not an assurance opinion. The confirmation under UKLR 24.3.2R(5) can be given only by a sponsor, and the FPPP opinion only by an appointed reporting accountant.
