Executive summary

A readiness diagnostic for an Operating Graph knowledge foundation. It helps leaders decide which knowledge domains deserve full connection and ongoing maintenance, which only need cataloguing, and which can wait. It also surfaces the capability gaps that must close first.

What is inside

The 13 sections

The diagnostic contains an anchored rubric covering decision criticality and six readiness dimensions, with metric formulas and score bands. It sets out tiering and stop rules, a business case structure that separates capacity from cash, and execution, governance and KPI tables. A synthetic worked example comes with a failure case, an alternate high-risk AI scenario and a calibration exercise. Five copy-ready tools complete the asset: domain inventory, scoring sheet, gap register, calibration log and retrieval gold-set template.
