Global Standards Framework

The XportScore Framework

A structured private framework for evaluating business export readiness.

XportScore evaluates whether a business demonstrates readiness for export-facing activity. The assessment focuses on preparedness, not export success prediction.

The framework is built around 5 core pillars.

XportScore Bands

Every assessment results in a weighted score between 0 and 100. This score determines the official export status reflected on the certificate.
