Sure they are...you just have to do some math. You'll have to convert rate of climb (published) and airspeed (into a ground speed) into some sort of gradient. The Part 25 climb numbers I've seen give me a percentage. The Part 23 numbers I've seen are always FPM at x-y-z weight and a-b-c altitude and d-e-f airspeed.
In the end, you're either going to make it or you aren't. Look at the top of the climb and look at your single engine performance for that altitude at your planned weight. If you don't have it, you don't have it. Jepp publishes the climb rate at given ground speed right on the DP.
Oh....and I'm uber jealous! I'd LOVE to get in one of those 100s. I'm a ***** for the light jets. Does it have an externally serviced lav or is that just the 300?
