  2. Dimension-level missed controls.
  3. Prioritized next actions.
  4. Print-ready output.

How This Works

Transparent methodology and limitations

PurposeEach item is scored equally using observable controls. Strong answers indicate readiness; partial or missing controls become the recommendation list. The tool does not use hidden benchmarks or claim that a score predicts signed cases.
LimitationsThe scorecard does not replace market analysis, legal review, budget planning, or retained-case economics. It helps organize the next decision.
Result logicYes = ready, partial = fragile, no = missing. Result bands are plain-language decision aids, not scientific ratings.
