A diagnostic that shows which learning pathways can be shown to close priority skills gaps and which lack the evidence to tell. It sets a current-state baseline for skill attainment, application on the job and delivery cost, then grades the evidence behind each pathway before funding decisions are made.
What this diagnostic covers
The asset defines the decision and when not to use it. It covers the required inputs and an evidence hierarchy, written-out formulas and scoring anchors, and a classification matrix that places each pathway in an investment position. It adds a business case worksheet that separates cash from capacity, approval gates, a risk register and KPI definitions with measurement owners. A worked synthetic example and a failure case are included, along with copyable tools: a diagnostic questionnaire, an evidence inventory, a gap register, an evidence clinic log and a review record.
