Calculate the plan health score

Question addressed

Which plan dimensions should be corrected first?

Direct answer

The score synthesises the plan’s completeness and relationships, then reports alerts, severity, dependencies and correction order.

Decision supported

01Prioritise corrections without confusing score with strategic quality.

02The rule, the evidence and the next review date stay visible.

Score and report

Original chart · SQ-06

Read the shape of the plan, not only its average

The profile by dimension shows where the system breaks. Two plans scoring 61/100 can require entirely different corrections.

Working context

Original chart built on eight dimensions of the same illustrative plan.

  1. 01Control

    Apply observable rules to every plan object and relationship.

  2. 02Normalise

    Bring each dimension onto a 0–100 scale.

  3. 03Visualise

    Compare dimensions with the safety threshold set at 60.

  4. 04Correct

    Treat execution-blocking breaks first, even when their weight is low.

Original element

Plan health profile — safety threshold at 60

Budget and capacity form a joint break: neither can be corrected without the other.

Decision interpretation

01The average score of 61.3 hides an inability to fund and staff the portfolio.

02The first correction is to recalculate full cost and capacity demand over the same period.

03Steering then moves above the threshold by defining cadence, thresholds and review rights.

Original visualisation based on fictitious data. The threshold of 60 is a working rule, not a standard.
