A diagnostic for the weeks before a quarterly strategy reset. It builds a dated, graded evidence baseline for every priority, so the portfolio board can see which continue, pivot or stop decisions the evidence supports and which need more evidence first.
What this diagnostic covers
The asset defines the inputs and an evidence grading scheme. It sets out a repeatable scoring method with ordered decision rules and an evidence clinic format for challenging weak claims. Governance gates, a risk register and KPIs keep released cash and released capacity apart. A synthetic case shows the method end to end, with a failure case and a practice exercise. Editable tools include the questionnaire, evidence inventory, gap log and disposition worksheet.
