Is your downtown stuck?
Most downtowns don’t fail because they lack ideas or effort. They stall when momentum stops translating intent into action.
The Downtown Momentum Scorecard is the diagnostic entry point to the RAD Downtown Momentum Method for communities, Main Street programs, and economic development leaders working inside real constraints. In five minutes, it identifies where momentum is holding, where it’s breaking down, and what deserves focus over the next 90 days.

How Momentum Is Assessed
The Downtown Momentum Scorecard evaluates how momentum is functioning across a small set of structural conditions that determine whether progress holds or stalls.
Your score reflects how well your downtown is aligned across:
Alignment
Whether priorities, expectations, and decision-making are pointing in the same direction.
Ownership
Whether responsibility for moving work forward is clear, shared, and supported.
Capacity
Whether people, time, and resources are realistically matched to the work underway.
Sequence
Whether effort is happening in the right order, or being applied too early, too late, or all at once.
Stability
Whether progress can continue when attention shifts, conditions change, or energy dips.
Together, these conditions determine whether momentum compounds—or erodes.
When generating your score, we take into consideration these key growth areas:
Motivation
Desire
Goal Driven
