Question and domain weighting
Each domain has one critical question weighted at 30% and four supporting questions weighted at 17.5% each. Domain scores are combined using fixed enterprise weights.

Investment priority
Opportunity gap is business value multiplied by the distance from Stage 5. Risk gap is risk exposure multiplied by the same distance. Model-led priority is 60% opportunity and 40% risk. Your strategic priority then applies a multiplier — Low 0.85, Moderate 1.00, High 1.15, Critical 1.25 — with a floor of 1.00 for Automation, Governance, Work Redesign and Data so structural weaknesses cannot be de-prioritised away.
Hard gates
- Governance below Stage 3 caps overall maturity at Augmented HR.
- Work Redesign below Stage 3 caps overall maturity at Augmented HR.
- Automation at or above Stage 4 with Work Redesign below 3 raises a sequencing flag.
- Data below 3 with high automation or analytics ambition raises a reliability flag.
- Rapid work redesign with low trust or manager capability raises a readiness flag.
Evidence confidence
Every answer records the evidence behind it. "Don't know" is a valid response: it scores conservatively at Stage 1 and contributes no evidence, and two or more in a domain raises an evidence warning on the results.
Dispositions
Every recommendation maps to one of six dispositions: Act now, Build foundations, Redesign first, Control risk, Optimise selectively, or Defer / retain human.
