Local Content Readiness Score | LocalContent.com
Local Content Readiness Score™

See where you stand. Before the contract, grant, or government incentive is scored.

A free 3-minute pre-certification that shows you exactly how your local supply chain, workforce, community investment, and stakeholder engagement will score against the standards that decide who wins.

3 minutes · 10 questions · No documents
Why this matters

Local content performance now decides 10–35% of the evaluation score.

Governments and local stakeholders need companies they can trust to provide local small business contracting and local hiring. They don't distrust you. They distrust the proof.

The Readiness Score shows you exactly where your proof falls short today, and what to fix before the contract, grant, or government incentive is scored.

Common questions

Before you start.

Is the Readiness Score really free?
Yes. The Readiness Score is free, takes about 3 minutes, and gives you a complete standards breakdown plus your three priority recommendations. No credit card. No commitment.
What's the difference between the Readiness Score and full certification?
The Readiness Score is a 10-question pre-certification that benchmarks where you stand. Full certification is the verified credential that lives on the Most Trusted Companies List, includes the Compliance Score, and produces the RFP/Grant Credibility & Verification Letter you submit with every bid.
Do I need documentation to take the score?
No. The Readiness Score is self-attestation. You answer based on what you know. Full certification verifies the answers with documentation.
What happens after I take the score?
You get your score, your standards breakdown, your badge, and your roadmap immediately. We email you a copy. If you're ready to certify, you can move directly into the certification flow at the tier that matches your size.
