CEA Project Readiness Scorecard
This scorecard is for First Nations, farm businesses and community organizations that are thinking about a greenhouse, vertical farm or other indoor growing facility and want an honest picture of how ready they are. Ten questions walk you through the five areas that decide whether a project succeeds: market and buyers, site and utilities, funding and financing, team and training, and governance and decision-making. Your answers add up to a score out of 20 and a readiness level — Exploring, Getting ready, or Ready for feasibility — each with practical next steps you can act on right away. Little Greenhouse That Could built this tool from the questions we ask every client at the start of a project, so your results reflect the same groundwork we cover in a first planning conversation. Sign up for our CEA Insights newsletter below and we will email you the full scorecard PDF so you can work through it with your team.
