Executive summary

A diagnostic that establishes how an organization's key decisions are actually made, who decides, how approvals flow and how decisions perform, before any redesign of decision rights begins. Every finding carries an evidence grade, and gaps are tested openly.

What is inside

What this diagnostic covers

The asset defines the decision it supports and the conditions for using it. It sets out the inputs, an evidence hierarchy and a reproducible method with written formulas and scoring anchors. It covers options for how much diagnostic effort to invest, approval gates, a risk register and KPI definitions with a named measurement owner. It includes a synthetic worked example, a failure case and editable tools: a decision inventory, a diagnostic questionnaire, an evidence inventory, an evidence clinic worksheet and a readiness checklist.
