# Share your scorecard with stakeholders

# 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.

## Shareable result links

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.

> [!TIP]
>
> 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")

## Track trajectory over time

Re-score your product periodically to show your improvement trajectory.

| Cadence | Best for |
| - | - |
| **Monthly** | Investor updates, active improvement tracking |
| **Quarterly** | Board reports, strategic planning |
| **Before/after milestones** | Measuring specific initiative impact |

Your dashboard shows score history automatically. The timeline view makes it easy to show that investments are paying off.

## Access control for reports

| Report type | Who can read it |
| - | - |
| **Maturity report** | Anyone with the `/r/{id}` link (no account needed) |
| **Operations report** | Authed users with Lead role or above |
| **Lifecycle report** | Authed users with Lead role or above |
| **POM overlay** | Authed users on Pro plan or above |
| **Suite intelligence** | Authed users with Lead role or above |
| **Portfolio view** | Authed users on Enterprise plan |

> [!TIP]
>
> If you need to share Operations or Lifecycle data with a board member, either bump them to Lead role in your org or summarize the data in your investor update.
