A ten-question scorecard that shows whether an important decision is ready for sign-off, or whether the evidence, alignment and challenge behind it need more work.
Answer ten fixed questions about the decision in front of you. The same answers always produce the same result, and nothing you enter is stored or analysed by AI.

Scoring the decision was the easy part; the assumptions behind your answers are where it can still fail. Selected senior operators from the Global Board test those assumptions in a confidential report before budget, resources or reputation are committed.
Pressure-test this decisionAnswer for the specific decision on the table, not for your organisation in general.
On these answers, the decision is running ahead of its evidence. Momentum, sponsorship or timeline pressure is doing work that analysis has not yet done, and the organisation would be committing on the strength of conviction rather than preparation.
Parts of the preparation are genuinely in place, but the case still leans on untested assumptions or unaligned stakeholders. Decisions in this band tend to clear early gates on the strength of a good narrative, then stall when the weaker areas surface at sign-off.
The foundations are mostly sound, and the remaining gaps are specific rather than structural. The danger in this band is that the decision now looks finished, so the last unanswered questions get waved through in the interest of momentum.
The visible preparation is strong: evidence, alignment and challenge are all in place on your own account. Decisions in this band tend to fail on rigidity rather than readiness, when a well-organised team stops re-examining a case it has already polished.
Most important decisions do not fail because the analysis was wrong. They fail because the decision was made before the organisation was ready to make it: the downside was never priced, dissent went unspoken, or the timeline was set by an external event rather than by the quality of the evidence. A readiness score will not make the decision for you, but it exposes which of those conditions applies today.
Each question has three fixed answers worth 0, 5 or 10 points. The total is normalised to 100 and mapped to one of four readiness bands. There is no weighting, no interpretation layer and no AI: the same answers always produce the same score, so teams can re-run it as preparation improves.
No. A high score means the visible preparation is strong. It cannot see whether the underlying assumptions are right, which is precisely where independent challenge is most useful.
No. The score is calculated in your browser with fixed point values. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI service.
Re-run it at each gate: when the recommendation is drafted, before it goes to the executive team, and before final sign-off. The movement between scores is often more informative than the score itself.
