Executive summary

A diagnostic for testing whether each product's economics, usage, dependencies and obligations are evidenced well enough to support a grow, change or retire decision. It turns weak evidence into a gap list with named owners.

What is inside

The 13 sections

The thirteen sections start with the decision frame and applicability checks. They then set out an inputs table, an evidence hierarchy, written-out formulas, scoring anchors and ordered signal rules. Later sections cover options for how deep to take the diagnostic, a recommended design with roles and gates, an execution plan, a risk register and KPI definitions. A synthetic worked example includes an allocation sensitivity test and a failure case. The copyable tools are a diagnostic questionnaire, an evidence inventory, a baseline worksheet, an evidence clinic log and a review record.
