Executive summary

A readiness diagnostic for deciding which KPIs can be trusted as evidence of strategy progress. It shows which measures need repair, retirement or a new owner before leaders rely on them.

What is inside

An anchored scoring rubric covering strategic linkage, definitions, data sources, timeliness, ownership and targets. It includes classification rules, a calibration method, an options and business case structure, governance gates and a measurement plan. A synthetic worked case, a failure case and a practice exercise show the method in use. Copy-ready tools include a gap register and an objective coverage matrix.
