Control · C21
Align objectives and initiatives
Does every initiative contribute to an explicit objective?
Direct answer
The control identifies objectives without action, actions without objectives and claimed contributions with no mechanism or evidence.
01Correct, justify or remove weak relationships.
02The rule, the evidence and the next review date stay visible.
How to use this
Move from the question to the deliverable.
Does every initiative contribute to an explicit objective?
Correct, justify or remove weak relationships.
Contribution matrix
Calculation · SQ-23
Calculate the weighted coverage of the objectives
Counting initiatives does not measure coverage. Every objective is weighted by its importance and every link by its level of evidence.
Illustrative check of four objectives supported by seven initiatives.
- 01Weight
Assign a weight to the objectives before examining the initiatives.
- 02Link
Document the contribution as primary, secondary or hypothetical.
- 03Calculate
Multiply coverage and confidence by the weight of the objective.
- 04Correct
Handle the critical objectives below 70% and the orphan initiatives.
Weighted coverage index: 64.2/100
The retention objective looks supported by two initiatives, but weak evidence reduces its real coverage.
Weighted coverage = Σ (objective weight × coverage × link confidence)| Objective | Weight | Initiatives | Coverage | Confidence | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New pipeline | 35 | 3 | 90% | 80% | 25.2 |
| Conversion | 25 | 2 | 80% | 90% | 18.0 |
| Retention | 25 | 2 | 75% | 40% | 7.5 |
| Efficiency | 15 | 3 | 95% | 95% | 13.5 |
01The reproducible score is 64.2; no bonus absent from the formula is added to the total.
02Retention is the priority despite two initiatives, because their contribution stays hypothetical.
03An initiative without a primary objective must be withdrawn or requalified before funding.
Illustrative method. Link confidence must rest on explicitly qualified evidence.
