Five Fibre assessment

How the foundations score.

Every franchise network is assessed across the five connected areas Twine Growth believes support sustainable franchise growth.

How the Five Fibre score is calculated

01 Assess Scale Ready18/20

Public information reviewed for Pitman Training, including its main website and franchise opportunity material, shows an established franchise proposition and evidence of a repeatable commercial model. The score is capped where founder dependency, unit economics or the full ideal franchisee analysis are not independently visible in public information.

02 Build Scale Ready18/20

The public franchise material for Pitman Training evidences brand standards, franchisee support and a structured operating model. Where training, onboarding, systems or central resources are described publicly this supports the score, while points are withheld for internal playbooks and central system access that cannot be verified from public sources.

03 Launch Scale Ready17/20

Pitman Training has a visible franchise proposition and a defined route for prospective franchisees to enquire or progress. Public recruitment messaging and franchise information support the score. Full marks are not assumed where the complete discovery, selection and go to market process is not published.

04 Grow Strong15/20

Public evidence shows that Pitman Training is actively recruiting franchisees and presents territory, expansion or network growth information. The score remains conservative because monthly enquiry volumes, source attribution, conversion rates and the degree of founder independence in recruitment are generally internal metrics and are not publicly verifiable.

05 Amplify Strong16/20

Public customer and franchise information for Pitman Training shows brand level marketing and support for operating locally. The score reflects visible local presence and marketing support, but is limited where location level lead generation plans, enquiry tracking and franchisee performance data are not publicly disclosed.

84/100 Overall Five Fibre score

Pitman Training scores 84/100, placing the network in the Scale Ready band under the Five Fibre framework. Public information indicates the strongest visible foundation is Assess, while Grow is the area with the least publicly verifiable evidence. This is an external assessment based only on information available publicly on 22/09/2026, so private systems, performance data or processes may justify a different score.
