Free readiness scorecard

How ready is your Decide & Govern document?

This scorecard checks whether a decision document gives its reader enough to act on. It is a short self-assessment, not an underwriting: it shows where the argument is still assertion and which lens will test it.

01 Does the document open with the decision the reader is being asked to make?

A reader who has to assemble the decision from the detail may never reach the same conclusion you did.

02 Are the financial or operational assumptions sourced and stress-tested?

A projection is only as strong as the assumption behind it. Show the source and the downside.

03 Are the material risks named with an owner and a mitigation?

A risk list without exposure, ownership, or status does not support oversight.

04 Is the evidence specific to this organization or asset, not generic market language?

A reader can tell when the market section would fit any company in the category.

05 Have you shown what the reader gets, not just what you are asking for?

A partnership or funding case has to work for the other side, in their priorities and economics.

06 Would the document survive an independent reader's challenge to its central number?

The number that carries the decision should have a method, a source, and a sensitivity.

What this scorecard is and is not

This is a short self-assessment against the questions reviewers tend to ask. It is not a review of your document, and it does not make, approve, certify, award, predict, or guarantee an external decision. A high score means the basics are in place; it does not mean the document will succeed.

The next step is a structured review against the lens shown for your weakest answers. The document owner keeps every decision that follows.
