What this diagnostic covers

The asset has a decision statement with conditions for use and exclusions, an inputs table and an evidence-grading hierarchy.

Execution, governance and measurement tables name owner roles and gate evidence. A synthetic worked example comes with a failure case, an exercise and discussion prompts. The editable templates cover the questionnaire, evidence inventory, gap register, clinic log and target approval.
