Scale Scorecard terms of use

1. Purpose

The Scale Scorecard is a free online self-assessment tool published by ASCALATE (SASU, RCS Paris 925 154 882) for business leaders and professionals. Based on your answers, it assesses your company's maturity across five engines of growth and profitability. Using the Scale Scorecard means you accept these terms.

2. Access

The tool is free and requires no registration. The summary of your results is displayed on screen. The detailed report is sent on request, as a PDF, to a work e-mail address, limited to two reports per work e-mail address over 30 days. Requests from a single connection are also limited, and a connection that exceeds the limit may be blocked for 30 days. If the report cannot be produced immediately, it is sent within the hour. The detailed report is reserved for operating companies: it is not sent to e-mail addresses of consulting firms or of providers of comparable services, whose results remain available on screen. ASCALATE may change, suspend or discontinue the tool at any time.

3. How it works

Scores are calculated using fixed rules defined by ASCALATE. The texts of the on-screen results and most of the detailed report are written in advance by ASCALATE and selected according to your answers. The personalized synthesis of the detailed report (overall reading, key risks and opportunities) is written by an artificial intelligence system (Claude, provided by Anthropic), based on your answers, your company profile, your free-text answer and instructions set by ASCALATE, without human review before it is sent.

4. Nature of the results

Results are indicative. They are based solely on your own statements, which are not verified. They do not constitute an audit, a diagnosis, or strategic, financial, legal or tax advice, and cannot on their own form the basis for a decision. They give an estimate: only a complete Scale Diagnostic provides the in-depth, detailed analysis that supports a transformation plan.

5. Liability

ASCALATE takes great care over the tool but does not guarantee that the results are accurate, complete or suited to your situation. To the extent permitted by law, ASCALATE shall not be liable for decisions made on the basis of the results, nor for the consequences of the tool being unavailable.

6. Your commitments

You agree to answer in good faith, not to enter personal data about other people or confidential information in the free-text field, and not to use the tool in an automated or improper way. ASCALATE may block any request it considers automated.

7. Intellectual property

The questionnaire, the method, the scoring rules and the Scale Scorecard texts are the property of ASCALATE. You may freely use your report for your company's internal purposes. Any reproduction of the questionnaire or the method for other purposes is prohibited without written consent.

8. Personal data

The processing of your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and failing an amicable settlement, the competent courts shall be those within the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal, subject to any mandatory rules to the contrary. The French version of these terms prevails.
