Not Gartner. Not McKinsey. Not Deloitte. Not this instrument, yet. Every framework in this space asserts its weights.
That is uncomfortable in a book whose central argument is that you should not believe claims you cannot evidence. So the weights are published as a hypothesis with a stated test, and this is the test.
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sample | 50–100 organisations, initially within a single sector |
| Method | Full thirty-five-question assessment, same protocol, same evidence standard |
| Baseline | Score by dimension, plus revenue per employee, headcount and service-line mix |
| Follow-up | The same operating metrics at twelve months |
| Test | Does the baseline score predict the change, and which dimensions carry the prediction? |
| Output | Published distribution, sector medians by size band, and re-derived weights |
| 1 | Coordination cost per unit of work declines with cumulative execution |
| 2 | Management-to-executor ratios fall over time |
| 3 | Human approvals decline as precedent coverage increases |
| 4 | Score at baseline predicts revenue-per-employee movement at twelve months |
If management-to-executor ratios stay flat across a decade of serious adoption, the theory underneath Part VIII is wrong — and that is computable from public filings by anyone, without my cooperation.
A prediction you can only evaluate with the author's help is not really a prediction.
The full assessment, the coherence matrix, the economics baseline and the deflation map. Plus your sector median — which does not currently exist anywhere.

Dimension scores, sector, headcount band, and where provided, subsequent revenue-per-employee movement.
No identifying detail retained. No individual score ever published. Reported only in aggregate at a minimum cohort size of ten. Withdrawable at any time, including retrospectively.
The programme is in its first cohort. Fifteen completed assessments produces a publishable sector median; fifty produces a defensible one.
Current sample size, the distribution as it stands, and any weight the data has already forced to change will be published here and mirrored in the source ledger. Including — especially — where it contradicts the argument of the chapter that defends the current weighting.
Live: 0 consented self-assessed results in the pool. The median publishes at a minimum cohort of ten.
Tell me your sector and rough size. I will tell you whether the cohort is a fit and what participating involves.
