Five-Question Scale Risk Test

Score each readiness area from 0 to 2. Notes are optional; the score is enough to get value quickly.

Who owns it?

Name the accountable owner for the workflow.

0

Who supports it?

Identify support roles and handoff responsibilities.

0

Who reviews it?

Define review points for exceptions, risk, or judgment.

0

Where is the evidence?

Define what proof is retained and where it lives.

0

What happens when it breaks?

Create an escalation path before volume grows.

High risk, workflow not ready to scale
0/10

Workflow is high risk for scale. Do not rely on volume growth until ownership, review, evidence, and escalation are defined.

Highest-risk readiness areas: Ownership, Support, Review, Evidence, Breakage path

This is a scale-readiness screen, not a legal, compliance, or operational determination.

Evidence to Retain
  • Workflow/process description - Anchors the scorecard to one repeatable workflow.
  • Named owner - Shows who is accountable when volume grows.
  • Support roles or handoff notes - Makes the repeatable path visible across roles.
  • Review point or reviewer - Preserves judgment for exceptions, risk, and nuance.
  • Evidence location - Keeps the audit file as the memory of the workflow.
  • Escalation path - Defines what happens when the routine path breaks.
  • Version or review date - Prevents stale workflow assumptions.
  • Exported readiness scorecard - Retains the local result from this static tool.

Evidence is not saved in this static version. Assign an owner, repeat the process consistently, review exceptions, explain the rationale, and retain copies in the employer file or local project record.
