What is inside
What the readiness assessment covers
The asset walks an assessment lead through scoping, evidence gathering, individual pre-scoring, calibration, evidence caps, linking gaps to redesign levers, the gap register, and the gate. It includes an eight-dimension rubric, a gap register, and a gate checklist, with a worked synthetic case.
- Scoring the capabilities behind each cost driver, not the costs
- Eight dimensions across costing, order policy, channels, delivery, service, pricing, and incentives
- Anchored scores with evidence caps
- Calibration across finance, operations, sales, and service
- Linking each gap to the redesign lever it blocks
- A priced gap register with owners and dates
- A readiness gate before the business case
