What is inside

What this asset covers

The asset sets out the decision and its boundaries, and defines the inputs with rules for missing evidence. It gives a step-by-step scoring method with written formulas and anchored scales for interface health, criticality and organizational capability. It covers how to build options and a business case that keeps freed capacity separate from cash. Execution, governance and measurement tables are provided. A synthetic case shows the method end to end, with a failure case, an alternate scenario and a calibration exercise. Editable worksheets include a scoring sheet, a readiness rubric, a gap register, a decision log and a calibration record.
