Diagnosing Your Organization: Three Questions to Ask

Before designing interventions, diagnose your current tribal balance. Three questions reveal your pattern.

The Three Diagnostic Questions

Question: How many pilots are reaching production?

Healthy: 20-30% conversion

Warning: Below 20% = handoff problem

2. Automator Check

Question: When did you last evaluate new models?

Healthy: Quarterly reviews

Warning: >12 months = stack calcification risk

3. Validator Check

Question: How long is your approval cycle?

Healthy: <6 weeks

Warning: >6 months = bottleneck
