Direct Answer

Use this scorecard to decide whether a report is decision-ready or merely activity-heavy.

What You Get

  1. Transparent local scoring.
  2. Dimension-level missed controls.
  3. Prioritized next actions.
  4. Print-ready output.

How This Works

Transparent methodology and limitations

PurposeEach item checks whether a report has a clear owner, denominator, source definition, caveat, and decision use. Missing controls become reporting fixes.
LimitationsThis scorecard does not validate ROI claims or replace financial review. It improves reporting clarity and decision usefulness.
Result logicYes = ready, partial = fragile, no = missing. Result bands are plain-language decision aids, not scientific ratings.
