Readiness is assessed in five equally weighted (20%) categories: space and layout, utilities and energy, staff and skills, supply chain and demand, and finance and regulation. The result is an overall score of 0–100 and a radar chart showing which areas limit expansion.
Example: if space and utilities are in order but staff and the financial plan are missing, the radar clearly shows that the first job is preparing the team and the budget.
Frequently asked questions
When should I assess expansion?
Before ordering construction or equipment, so that gaps do not turn into expensive surprises.
Are all categories equal?
Yes, each makes up 20% of the result. In reality one constraint may be more decisive.
What should I do after the result?
Draw up an action plan for the lowest-scoring categories. We can help with installation and relocation questions.

Methodology and limitations
Methodology based on standard industry calculations and Maintest’s practical industrial experience. This tool provides a planning estimate and does not replace project-specific engineering assessment. This tool is a screening and planning aid developed by Maintest. Results are indicative and depend entirely on the figures and answers you enter. They are not an engineering calculation, a safety assessment or a substitute for the manufacturer’s instructions, applicable standards or professional judgement. Weights, benchmarks and default values are Maintest planning assumptions and can be adjusted to your situation. Do not use this tool as the only basis for safety-critical decisions such as lifting, electrical work or lockout procedures.
