Diagnostic Framework

Assessment Pillars

Three interconnected dimensions — member value, business viability, and human capital.

Member Value
01
Pillar One

Member Value Creation

Asks whether the cooperative is addressing a significant pain point for its members — such as access to markets or high input costs — and whether members are willing to pay for these services.

  • Addressing real member pain points
  • Member willingness to pay for services
  • Value proposition clarity

Pillar Two

Business Model & Revenue Streams

Categorizes how the cooperative makes money — through value addition, aggregation, or input financing — and determines if these streams are profitable and sustainable.

  • Value addition (processing into packaged goods)
  • Aggregation (pooling products for bulk sales)
  • Input financing and credit facilitation

Pillar Three

Leadership & Membership Stability

Investigates the human element — stable membership numbers, leadership competence, and whether the board requires training in financial accounting and business planning.

  • Stable and growing membership
  • Leadership competence and succession
  • Board training in financial management
