The methodology

Five diagnostic modules. One adoption-risk score.

Each module isolates a specific behavioral failure mode. Combined, they produce the Inertia Strength Index — a composite, board-defensible measure of resistance.

Module ADBM-01

Default Behavior Mapping

Capture the real workflow — not the documented one. Surface informal systems and behavioral dependencies.

  • Workflow visualization engine
  • Informal-system detection
  • Behavioral dependency graph
Module BFGA-02

Friction Gap Analysis

Quantify switching effort relative to perceived benefit. Find the adoption cliffs before launch.

  • Effort vs. benefit modeling
  • Step-level friction scoring
  • Comparative process diffs
Module CEIR-03

Emotional & Identity Risk

Evaluate status, role identity, fear of incompetence and cultural reception across stakeholder cohorts.

  • Identity-threat mapping
  • Sentiment & confidence index
  • Cultural sensitivity scoring
Module DRCE-04

Replacement Clarity

Test whether the new solution clearly replaces a known pain. Ambiguity is the silent killer of adoption.

  • Substitution clarity score
  • Ambiguity risk index
  • Stakeholder narrative analysis
Module EISI-05

Inertia Strength Index

Composite measure of structural resistance, habit strength, and institutional dependency.

  • Habit-strength quantification
  • Institutional dependency graph
  • Composite ISI score 0–100
Module FAIE-00

AI Diagnostic Engine

Consulting-grade synthesis. Strategic, calm, analytical — never a chatbot.

  • Executive recommendations
  • Scenario simulation
  • Board-ready outputs
