Preparing for a surrogacy journey involves more than choosing a program or beginning treatment. Intended parents may need to organize embryos or an IVF plan, confirm funding, address legal or jurisdiction questions, select an IVF clinic, complete surrogate preferences, and have required identity or medical records ready.
The Surrogate Match-Readiness Score is an educational planning tool that helps you review these six administrative and planning items in one place. You simply check the items you have completed and select Calculate to see how many of the listed preparation steps are currently complete.
The score is for organizational planning only. It does not determine medical eligibility, legal eligibility, or whether a surrogate match will be available.
Check Embryos ready or IVF plan confirmed if you have embryos ready for the planned journey or have confirmed an IVF plan.
This helps identify whether an important treatment-planning step has already been addressed.
If your IVF strategy is still being discussed, leave the box unchecked until the relevant plan has been confirmed.
Select Budget/funding plan confirmed when you have established how the surrogacy journey will be funded.
Having a defined financial plan can help you organize the next stages of your journey and understand which financial decisions still need attention.
Check Legal/jurisdiction consultation completed when the relevant legal or jurisdiction consultation has been completed.
Surrogacy arrangements can involve legal requirements that depend on the circumstances and jurisdiction. A calculator score should not be interpreted as confirmation that a particular arrangement is legally permitted.
Select Surrogate preferences completed when you have documented the preferences you want to use during the matching process.
This may help organize your expectations before beginning or progressing through the matching stage.
Check IVF clinic selected after choosing the fertility clinic you intend to work with.
A confirmed clinic can help provide greater structure around treatment coordination and the medical side of the journey.
Select Identity/medical records ready when the relevant records and identification materials are prepared for the next stage of the process.
Keeping documentation organized can make it easier to respond to requests from appropriate professionals or programs.
Once you have reviewed all six items, select Calculate.
The calculator counts the completed items and presents an operational readiness score based on the checklist.
For example, the displayed calculator scenario has 5 of 6 planning items completed, producing an 83% operational readiness score.
Educational planning tool only. Results are not medical advice, legal advice, a guarantee, or a binding quote. Confirm treatment with a licensed fertility clinic and legal questions with independent counsel.
The calculator uses a six-item checklist:
Each completed item contributes to the overall checklist completion shown by the calculator.
The calculation is intended to provide a quick snapshot of operational preparation, rather than measure medical or legal readiness.
For example:
5 completed items ÷ 6 total items × 100 = 83.3%
The displayed result rounds this to 83%.
If all six items are checked, the checklist would represent 100% completion of the six listed planning items. If fewer items are checked, the score reflects the corresponding proportion of completed checklist items.
The score is easiest to understand as a planning checklist percentage.
A higher percentage means more of the six listed administrative and preparation items have been marked complete. A lower percentage means more items remain to be reviewed or completed.
The score does not mean that a person is medically cleared, legally eligible, financially approved, or guaranteed a surrogate match.
Several practical factors can affect how prepared an intended parent or family is for the next stage, including:
The calculator only measures the six items included in its checklist. It does not evaluate factors that are not part of those six questions.
What Does an 83% Score Mean?
An 83% score in the displayed example means that 5 of the 6 listed planning items have been completed.
It does not mean that the journey has an 83% chance of success or that the intended parent is 83% medically or legally eligible.
The number should be treated as a checklist-progress indicator.

It is a checklist-based planning score that shows how many of six specified preparation items have been completed.
The calculator includes six planning items covering embryos or an IVF plan, funding, legal or jurisdiction consultation, surrogate preferences, IVF clinic selection, and identity or medical records.
The score represents the proportion of listed checklist items that have been marked complete.
For example, completing 5 of 6 items gives approximately 83%.
It means 5 of the 6 listed planning items have been marked complete. It does not represent a medical, legal, or surrogacy success probability.
Yes. You can leave IVF clinic selected unchecked until that step has been completed and then recalculate your checklist score.
No. The calculator is administrative and educational. It does not determine legal, medical, or program eligibility.
No. Completing the checklist does not guarantee that a suitable surrogate will be available or that a matching process will result in an arrangement.
Legal and jurisdiction planning can be an important part of organizing a surrogacy journey. The calculator identifies whether this particular planning item has been completed, but it does not provide legal advice or determine legal eligibility.
Use the unchecked items as a simple planning list. Review which steps still need attention and update the calculator as those items are completed.
No. It is an educational planning tool. Medical questions should be discussed with an appropriately licensed fertility professional, and legal or jurisdiction questions should be reviewed with qualified independent counsel.
