Business Brain & Enterprise Quotient Check For Farm Managers. Parameters For Evaluation 2/14

Our value proposition is not clear; every client hears a different story. Like a dhaba where menu changes depending on the cook’s mood.

We usually say: “We will develop your farm,” but don’t explain whether it’s one-time or ongoing. Like a restaurant saying “food milega” but not mentioning if it’s buffet or à la carte.

We define the model: Build–Operate–Transfer OR Annual Maintenance Contract OR Outcome-based, depending on client need. Like a restaurant menu with combos: veg thali, buffet, or party catering—clear choices.

We not only define the model but show examples, case studies, and projected outcomes for each. Like a 5-star hotel giving pictures, sample menus, and previous event references before you book a banquet.

We treat farm development as “do this job and finish.” Like teaching a child only to pass exams.

We think a little bigger, like making sure the farm produces every season, but don’t plan beyond. Like focusing only on school years, not higher education.

We build farms as ongoing enterprises—with planning for markets, branding, risks, and expansion. Like grooming a child with extracurriculars, internships, and college readiness.

We design farms as future-ready enterprises—linking to ESG goals, carbon credits, and global buyers. Like preparing a child not only for college but for international scholarships and jobs.

We don’t prepare DPRs; we just give rough estimates. Like a mason saying, “It’ll take 500 bricks,” but no drawings.

We make simple Excel-based plans—cost per acre, basic returns. Like showing a hand-drawn floor sketch to a client.

We create detailed DPRs with cost breakdowns, timelines, and ROI projections. Like an architect giving drawings + BOQs + payment schedule.

We do full investment modeling with scenarios (best case, worst case, average), sensitivity analysis, and financing options. Like a real estate firm giving you 3D views, loan plans, and resale value projections.

No real cost control—we spend as needed. Like cooking biryani without measuring rice or masala; sometimes tasty, sometimes a flop.

Some budgeting, but often exceeded. Like planning Rs 5000 for shopping, but always coming back with Rs 7000 bill.

Clear budgets, with regular tracking and adjustments. Like shopping with a list and bill tally.

Strict cost control, ROI dashboards, and pre-approved expenditure. Like a family accountant monitoring every paisa during a wedding.

No transparency—vendor choice depends on personal connections. Like buying veggies only from your cousin’s shop, no matter the price.

Some negotiation, but not documented. Like bargaining in the bazaar, but no bill.

Competitive quotes, vendor selection with client visibility. Like buying a fridge after comparing Flipkart, Amazon, and local dealer.

Procurement with e-tender style, complete transparency, and savings passed to clients. Like corporate buying—negotiated, recorded, accountable.

Dependent on one person; can’t scale. Like a street-side chaiwala—great tea, but only at one corner.

Some repeatability, but limited to certain crops/regions. Like a dhaba chain with only two outlets.

Proven replication in multiple farms/regions. Like a regional restaurant chain with 10 outlets—consistent taste.

Large-scale replication across states, with SOPs and franchise-like systems. Like McDonald’s—the same burger in any city.

Either avoid risks altogether or take them blindly. Like refusing to invest in shares, or putting all money in crypto.

Take risks but without documented mitigation. Like driving fast without insurance.

Take calculated risks with backups. Like trying a new crop but also insuring it.

Diversify risks across crops, contracts, and financing with full contingency planning. Like an investor spreading money across shares, bonds, and FDs.

No financial planning; spend what comes. Like a college student blowing stipend without tracking.

Do ROI math casually, but don’t commit. Like saying “lagta hai profit hoga” without numbers.

Provide clear ROI models, with projections and risks. Like showing SIP calculator printouts to prove your point.

Not only model ROI, but also co-invest in projects. Like a chef who eats his own cooking first.

Not concerned—just focus on yields. Like only looking at exam marks, ignoring overall learning.

Some awareness, but limited action. Like knowing “organic is good” but still buying pesticide-heavy veggies.

Implement organic/GAP practices where possible, with compliance checks. Like following a balanced diet with cheat days.

Fully aligned with certifications, ESG, and traceability audits. Like a health-conscious athlete tracking every calorie.

No measurement; “sab chalta hai.” Like ignoring electricity bills until the disconnection notice comes.

Basic awareness, no regular tracking. Like knowing your weight but never checking BMI or blood sugar.

Regular monitoring of water use, chemical safety, labor compliance. Like a family doing annual health checkups.

Detailed carbon/water audits, labor certifications, and corrective action reports. Like an athlete with coach, nutritionist, and physiotherapist—every detail tracked.
