Score Interpretation
10–14
Active Structural Crisis
Multiple structural gaps are acute simultaneously. The Failure of Success condition is fully active. Capital events will fail, institutional relationships will deteriorate, and governance crises will compound without intervention.
Engage a structural diagnostic immediately. The cost of intervention in a crisis context is substantially higher than proactive remediation. Download the whitepaper and request a diagnostic conversation today.
6–9
Emerging Structural Pressure
Structural gaps present and developing. One triggering event — a capital raise, funder renewal, board transition — will convert emerging pressure into acute crisis. The proactive window is narrow.
Commission a Structural Readiness Sprint within 90 days, before the next capital event or institutional inflection point. Download the whitepaper. Schedule the diagnostic conversation.
3–5
Structural Awareness Stage
Some gaps present. Not yet acutely felt — but institutional stakeholder expectations are building. The condition is developing. These are early indicators, not yet acute consequences.
Share this instrument with your board chair. Begin the governance infrastructure conversation before a capital event creates deadline pressure. Download the Executive Summary.
0–2
Low Structural Risk (Current)
Structural gaps minimal or absent right now. Either genuinely well-structured, or the institutional complexity that triggers the condition has not yet arrived.
Continue monitoring. Reassess when a significant capital event, institutional relationship, or governance transition is six months or less away.
