What is Bitcoin treasury readiness?

Bitcoin treasury readiness is a scored measure of operational, governance, and disclosure preparedness — independent of holdings size. The Satoshi Institute readiness model evaluates five dimensions: governance maturity, capital-structure resilience, disclosure quality, custody and security readiness, and survivability under documented stress. The score is reproducible from published documents; it does not depend on operator self-assessment.

Readiness is the score the operator is willing to be measured on. Refusing to be scored is a score.
