This is not about you, and it is not about your colleagues. Every question asks about the organisation. Nothing here assesses your performance, and nothing you answer goes into any personnel record.

Who sees your answers. No individual answer reaches your employer or the investor. Responses are collected individually and analysed together — findings are reported as patterns across a group, never as one person’s answers.

You were asked to take part because of where you sit and what you can see from there — not because of your seniority.

It takes most people 50 to 60 minutes. You can stop and come back later.

This is the first of two parts. You have two days to complete it. A few days later you will be sent the second part, covering different areas of the business, and you will have two days for that one as well. Both are needed before the diagnostic can be completed.

How to answer

Each question asks whether something is true of the organisation.

You can answer from any one of three kinds of evidence:

something you have seen someone actually do
a condition that exists in the company, independent of any single decision
something that has already happened as a result

Any one of the three is enough. A single clear instance is enough to answer Yes or Partial. The pattern does not have to be the general rule across every case, and it does not have to still be happening today.

Where a question offers No Visibility, use it when you genuinely cannot see this part of the business. It is a real answer, not a gap — a guess is worse than an honest “I don’t know.”
