Every scored product has a shareable URL at /r/{id}. Anyone with the link can read the maturity report without signing in. Other report types (Operations, Lifecycle, POM) sit behind auth.

Share your scorecard with stakeholders

As a founder, you want to share your product’s scorecard with investors, board members, and advisors so they can read your maturity positioning, track your trajectory, and read your improvement plan without needing a Dacard.ai account. Every scored product has a shareable URL at /r/{id}. Anyone with the link can read the maturity report without signing in.
1

Score your product

Head to /score and run a score if you haven’t already.
2

Copy the shareable link

From your score results page, copy the URL from the browser address bar. Format: app.dacard.ai/r/{id}.
3

Send to stakeholders

Share via email, Slack, or your investor update. Recipients read the full maturity report without an account.
Shareable links are private-by-obscurity. The URL is unguessable, so only people you share it with can read it. Other report types (Operations, Lifecycle, POM) need auth.

What stakeholders see

The shared maturity report carries:
  • Composite (27-135) and stage placement
  • Dimension breakdown across all 27 dimensions with scores and evidence
  • Signal bars for at-a-glance dimension health
  • Strengths and gaps (top 3 and bottom 3)
  • Cross-dimension patterns that surface systemic themes
  • Next-move recommendations per dimension

Framing scores in updates

For investor updates

Include your score as a product health read alongside MRR, retention, and feature velocity. Structure:
  1. Headline: “Capability maturity: [Score] ([Stage])” with trajectory (up / flat / down)
  2. Trajectory: which dimensions moved since last update
  3. Focus: top 2-3 dimensions you’re actively investing in
  4. Competitive: how you read against scored competitors (if available)

For board presentations

Use the scorecard as part of your product strategy section.
  • Show the dimension heatmap as a visual summary
  • Highlight the tension map across the three frameworks to show organizational alignment
  • Present benchmark data to contextualize your score for your stage
  • Connect score moves to specific initiatives the board approved

For team all-hands

Share the scorecard with your team to create a shared read.
  • Walk through the top 3 strengths (“here’s what we’re doing well”)
  • Explain the top 3 gaps (“here’s where we need to move”)
  • Connect gaps to upcoming work (“this is why we’re investing in X this cycle”)
