Executive Decision Support
[ Start here · How it works ]

The decision framework, explained simply

Every engine here works on a simple idea: turn what you know about a transformation into 0–100 scores, then project what's likely to happen. You never have to guess a number — pick a description or just write the situation in words.

01

Simulate a decision

Describe a transformation in plain words (AI sets the numbers), answer a few guided questions, or fine-tune the levers. See projected success, adoption, benefits and risk instantly.

02

Assess maturity

Score seven dimensions on a 1–5 scale to see your level today, your biggest gaps, and a roadmap toward the Intelligent Enterprise.

03

Benchmark

Compare your capability against industry average, top quartile and best-in-class to find the highest-leverage gaps.

04

Track decisions

Log every major decision with its rationale, owner and impact so bottlenecks surface before they slow the program.

SCALE

What every 0–100 score means

0–20

Critical

Largely absent or actively failing — a major threat to the program.

21–40

Weak

Exists but unreliable, informal or inconsistent across the organization.

41–60

Developing

Works in places, with clear gaps that still need attention.

61–80

Strong

Solid, consistent and dependable across most of the organization.

81–100

Best-in-class

A genuine source of advantage you should protect.

[ Three ways to score the simulator ]

Describe in words

Write your scenario in a sentence or two. AI reads it and sets every variable for you.

Guided questions

Answer one plain-language question per variable and pick the description that fits.

Fine-tune

Drag the sliders directly when you already know your numbers.

VARIABLES

How to score each decision variable

Stakeholder engagement

How bought-in and active are the people affected by this change?

Resisting15

Most groups are disengaged or pushing back.

Passive35

Aware of the change but not really participating.

Mixed55

Some champions, some hold-outs across teams.

Engaged75

Most people are involved and supportive.

Championing92

Stakeholders advocate for the change themselves.

Executive sponsorship

How visible and committed is senior leadership to this transformation?

Absent15

Leaders are uninvolved or sending mixed signals.

Occasional55

Visible at milestones but not consistently engaged.

Active78

Leaders communicate and unblock issues regularly.

Ad-hoc18

Decisions are made informally with no clear owner.

Loose38

Some structure, but slow or unclear escalation.

Defined58

Roles and a steering cadence exist and mostly work.

Disciplined76

Clear decision rights and a reliable steering rhythm.

Optimized90

Data-driven governance that adapts as things change.

Change readiness

How ready and able is the organization to absorb this change?

Overloaded15

Teams are stretched and change-fatigued.

Hesitant35

Limited capacity and low willingness to adapt.

Cautious55

Willing but with real capability or bandwidth gaps.

Ready75

Capacity, skills and willingness are mostly in place.

Primed90

The organization is eager and well-equipped to change.

Rollout pace

How fast do you plan to deploy this change?

Very gradual20

Long phased rollout with wide buffers.

Measured40

Steady, conservative pace with checkpoints.

Balanced55

A moderate, sustainable rollout speed.

Accelerated75

Fast rollout with tight timelines.

Aggressive90

Big-bang or compressed deployment.

Resource capacity

How well-resourced is the program in funding, people and bandwidth?

Starved18

Chronically under-funded and under-staffed.

Tight38

Stretched resources; competing priorities win out.

Adequate58

Enough to proceed, with some pressure points.

Resourced76

Funding and people are well-matched to the plan.

Level 4

Optimized

Measured, data-driven, continuously improving.

Level 5
