Not another score.

This tool identifies what is operating normally, what deserves watching, what needs correction, what must be escalated, and what management should do next. It does not hide the operation behind a single percentage.

Guided Diagnostic

Recommended. Review 55 observable controls across 11 operating areas, add evidence, and produce a full management report.

Best for: serious operating review, consulting, management meetings, education, or baseline assessment.

Executive Quick Scan

Rate each operating area at a high level to identify where a deeper review is needed.

Best for: first look, leadership discussion, or rapid triage before the full diagnostic.
Use evidence, not instinct. A status should describe what the operation can reasonably support today. When the answer is uncertain, use Watch and record what still needs to be verified.
