How to read your Readiness Report.
The Report is a 50+ page document written from your own answers. This page shows what is in it and where to start.
Where to start
Read it in this order
1 · Your overall score and the findingsThe front of the Report gives your overall score on the 0–5 scale and the findings that matter most.
2 · Your areasEvery area is scored with its next step. Look first at the lowest scores: they are where a first step pays back soonest.
3 · The ten moves and the 90-day sequenceThe ten moves are the actions to take first, and the 90-day sequence puts them in order.
4 · Your three focus areas in depthThe three areas you chose, covered question by question, with the answers you gave in the Report questionnaire.
Numbered actions
70+ actions, one checklist
Every action has a number“Action 12” in the Report is “Action 12” in the checklist and in your data files, so you can sort, assign and track them.
One checklistEvery action is on a single checklist at the back, so your team can work through it without hunting through the pages.
Reviewed by a personEvery Report is reviewed before it is sent, within one business day of your finishing the questionnaire.
If you have a Snapshot
Reading the Snapshot report
The Snapshot report holds the full Readiness Report built from your whole group, plus what only a group can show. It is usually over 100 pages, so start from the contents page.
Start with “If you lead…”This guide on the contents page sends each leader straight to their own areas, so nobody has to read every page.
The range, not an averageEach area leads with the range of views across your people. A wide range means your people see the operation differently, and that is the finding.
Where roles disagree and agreeDisagreements are listed by area, with who said what next to their role. Common ground is listed too: it is where you can move first without a debate.
One page per personEach person’s view has its own page. Each page carries the person’s name and role.
The ten moves, weighted by agreementThe ten moves are weighted by how much your people agree on them. The action tracker lists every action with a suggested owner.
Roles that did not answerRoles that were expected but never answered are named, so a gap is visible rather than hidden.
If you skip the readout: a self-guide
The optional 60-minute readout walks through the same three things in order. You can do it yourselves in a team meeting:
1 · The disagreementsRead each area where roles disagree. Ask each side what they see that the other does not.
2 · The common groundRead where your people agree. These are the safest places to start.
3 · The ten movesAgree the order, then agree who owns each move. The action tracker has a suggested owner for every action.

Don’t knowThe question was answered Don’t know. The Report says how many came back that way in an area.
Not applicableThe question does not apply to you and is left out of the score.
Not enough answers to scoreThe area had too few answers for a fair score, so the Report does not give one.
