Context

How scoring works

Each answer scores 0, 1, or 2. Category percentage = points earned ÷ points available × 100. The overall percentage uses all questions equally. Actions are selected from the lowest-scoring categories, with ties resolved in the order shown.

12 practical questions

Answers remain in this browser state and are not transmitted.

1. Is the selected workflow performed consistently enough to describe? (Process)
2. Are normal and exception paths documented or observable? (Process)
3. Do required records use stable identifiers? (Data)
4. Can data quality be measured from representative examples? (Data)
5. Are source and target systems and supported interfaces known? (Integration)
6. Is the system of record defined for each important field? (Integration)
7. Is there an accountable business process owner? (Ownership)
8. Are data, system, and exception responsibilities assigned? (Ownership)
9. Are access, data sensitivity, retention, and vendor responsibilities understood? (Security)
10. Can failure, recovery, and change controls be tested? (Security)
11. Can representative users participate in design and testing? (Adoption)
12. Are training, fallback, feedback, and post-launch support owned? (Adoption)

Three next actions

  1. Process: Observe one normal case and two exceptions; agree the process boundary before selecting automation.
  2. Data: Profile representative records; assign owners to identifiers, definitions, and correction rules.
  3. Integration: Create a system-of-record and interface map, including outage, retry, and reconciliation behavior.

Not a validated benchmark, certification, security review, or comprehensive audit. Every question scores 0, 1, or 2 equally.
