free self-assessment

Is your IT holding your growth back? Twelve questions.

Twelve statements. Tick the ones that sound like you, and the verdict appears as you go. No sign-up, nothing stored, and the questions are the same ones we ask in the first hour of an engagement.

Every one of them describes something that costs nothing while it holds, and a great deal the week it does not. That is why they are worth answering honestly rather than optimistically.

02 Wasted time
03 Governance

Your score

0 / 12 weakness signals

Tick what sounds like you. The verdict updates as you go.

Unticked boxes are not verified points. This is a self-assessment, not a security audit.

How to read your score

0-2 signals

Healthy position

Your systems are holding up, and whatever you ticked deserves monitoring rather than a project. This is the right moment to structure a plan, before something forces one on you.

3-5 signals

Amber zone

Your systems are starting to slow you down: a few dependencies and some wasted time accumulating. Prioritising two or three pieces of work usually reverses the trend.

6-8 signals

Red zone

Several structural weaknesses are compounding: your growth rests on things that can give way. Serious scoping is warranted before stacking new tools on top.

9-12 signals

Alert

At this level the systems are no longer a support function, they are an operating risk. The good news is that starting from here, the first work pays back fast.

Get the detailed reading of your score

You get an email straight away with the reading of each axis, the overall verdict and the axis to start with, generated from your own answers. One email. No newsletter behind it, no automated follow-up sequence. And if you reply to it, a human reads it.

Your details are used to reply to you and nothing else. No resale, no automated sequence. Privacy notice.

High score and you want an outside read? A short paid technical due diligence turns this into a costed plan you own, whether or not you continue with us. Or start with twenty minutes of conversation.

questions about the test

What people ask before ticking anything

What does a high score actually mean?
That several weaknesses are compounding, not that anything is broken today. The twelve questions are all things that cost nothing while they hold and cost a great deal the week they do not: a person who is the only one who can fix something, a vendor who holds your credentials, information typed twice. A high score means the business is carrying risk it has not priced.
Is this going to become a sales sequence?
No. If you ask for the detailed reading, you get one email, generated from your answers, and nothing after it. No newsletter, no automated follow-up, no second touch three days later. If you reply to it, a human reads the reply. That is the whole mechanism, and it is deliberately unimpressive.
Why twelve questions and not forty?
Because a forty-question assessment does not get finished, and an assessment nobody finishes measures nothing. These twelve cover the three axes where we have seen problems actually originate: dependencies, wasted time, and nobody arbitrating. A longer form would add precision you would not use and lose the people it was written for.
What if I want somebody to look at it properly?
Then the honest next step is a short paid assessment rather than a longer questionnaire. Twelve tick boxes cannot see your actual systems, and pretending otherwise would be the same mistake as a vendor quoting before understanding the context. What this tool does well is tell you whether that conversation is worth having.
