Abstract

Currently, there are many programs that support entrepreneurship as a way to improve economic and social conditions of a country. In this article is designed the model of a fuzzy logic system with the aim of providing a tool that allows generating an initial indicator of the viability of a product or business proposal, based on the model design Canvas and using as a reference the EMIS Benchmarking Score proposed by the Euromoney Institutional Investor Company (EMIS), an organization that provides financial information of companies. The implementation of this prototype taken from experimental data achieved a correlation of 88%, which implies that the model is stable and it fits with the established metrics for the benchmark.
