Thirty-odd pages. Fifteen decisions. A practical plan to test.

Most diagnostics hand you a score and wish you luck. This one ends with every capability in your business carrying a single decision — the working that got it there, and a ninety-day plan that names what to test first.

Cover & contentsPart 1 — who you arePart 2 — capabilitiesCapability playbooksThe next ninety daysAppendix & limits

This structure is the same in every sector the index gets built for. The fifteen capability names change — a gym has Member Connection where a practice has referral flow — but the five decisions and the way they’re derived do not.

OWNER DIAGNOSTIC REPORTPages 1–11
Your trait pattern across the five groups.

Twenty-five traits, grouped into Drive & Action, Thinking & Adaptability, People & Influence, Structure & Self-Management, and Resilience & Purpose.

Pages 4–6 · Who you are
Written about the person, not the business. No capability names appear here at all.
Part one

Who you are, before any business talk

The first eleven pages are about you: your twenty-five trait scores, the five groups they fall into, and several pages interpreting the clusters they form.

Deliberately separated from the business section. Reading your own pattern without immediately being told what to do about it is the part most owners say they needed.

Part two

Your business strengths, and what carrying them costs

Fifteen capabilities in one table, each banded — Strongest here, Dependable, Needs support or Exposed — and each carrying one decision: protect it, systemise it, outsource it, or build it.

A page called Reading the table follows, then several pages interpreting it against your own words from the intake questions, with a pressure chart and a Pressure Response grid showing what the heaviest weeks take away.

BEFORE HANDING WORK OVERBUILD
Retention InstinctBUILD

Before handing this work over, define the standard, who owns it, and how you will check that it holds in practice.

Make the next move workable

Build what the handoff needs

BUILD identifies a capability worth developing. PROTECT, SYSTEMISE, DELEGATE and OUTSOURCE describe the other available moves, each grounded in your answers.

The playbooks turn those moves into practical experiments, with a clear owner and evidence to look for before changing more.

THE NEXT NINETY DAYSPages 26–28

Four windows. Not fifteen things at once.

1ACTION — the single thing to test in this window.
2WHO — a named person, not “the team”.
3EVIDENCE — what tells you it worked.
4KEEP WITH YOU — what not to hand over yet.
Part three

The work to test first, with a named person

Before this, pages 18–25 carry a playbook for every one of the fifteen capabilities, two to a page. Then the last section turns the ones that matter into four windows across ninety days.

Each window demands a name and a piece of evidence. A plan that can’t say who, or can’t say how you’d know it worked, isn’t a plan — and the report won’t print one.

APPENDIX & PROVENANCEPages 29–32
What this cannot tell you
A structured self-assessment of operating pattern. Every score comes from your own answers on one day.
Band names label ranges
Two results either side of an edge are closer than their labels suggest.
Report checksum printed on the final page
Appendix

Definitions, limits, and the receipt

Full definitions for every trait and capability, so nothing in the report depends on you accepting a term you were never given.

Then a page stating plainly what the instrument cannot tell you, and the checksum of the rules that produced your numbers. If the scoring changes, that number changes.

Every number in it is calculated, not written

The scoring is deterministic. The same answers always produce the same traits, the same capabilities and the same fifteen allocations — run it twice and nothing moves. A language model writes the explanatory prose only, and it is structurally prevented from touching a figure.

The scoring rules carry a published checksum, so a change to how your report is calculated is a visible event rather than something you find out about by accident.
