Screening

Custom Tools

Axiom creates custom screening tools for product and services companies for every phase of New Product Development. From initial screens integrated into concept documents to sophisticated weighted product screen and portfolio management tools, all screens are benchmarked to help insure decisions are objectively based on strategy, financials, market need, and core competencies.

Screening tools range from simple, fill in the blank quantitative hand written tools, to sophisticated, yet easy to use Excel-based spreadsheets with interactive graphics. See "AxiScreen" below.
