Is your IT holding your growth back? Twelve questions, and the verdict appears as you tick.
For companies that want an outside read before talking to anyone. No sign-up, nothing stored: the questions we ask in the first hour of an engagement.
Which of these sound like your company?
Each statement costs nothing while it holds, and a great deal the week it does not. Answer honestly rather than optimistically.

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
Your levelFew signals
Few weaknesses declared, outside any critical alert. Your systems hold up on these twelve points, and this is the right moment to structure a plan. A twelve-question self-assessment is not enough to conclude there is no risk.
3-5 signals
Your levelAmber zone
Your systems are starting to slow you down: a few dependencies and some wasted time accumulating. Prioritizing two or three pieces of work usually reverses the trend.
6-8 signals
Your levelRed 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
Your levelAlert
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.
Levels follow the number of boxes ticked, with one exception: the Dependencies axis. Each of its signals raises the floor, whatever the total: one is enough for the amber zone, two for the red zone, three for alert.

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.
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.
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. What this tool does well is tell you whether that conversation is worth having.
A high score? Turn it into a costed plan you own.
A short, paid technical due diligence maps what you run, where the risks are and what each option costs, whether or not you continue with us. Or start with 20 minutes of conversation.
