• Internal promotion rate — at least 25-30% of senior roles filled internally

6. 🔄 Operational Health (COO)

What it measures: Are we executing our strategy with discipline?

Key metrics:

• Decision cycle time — days from decision needed to decision made (Green: <48h, Yellow: 48h-1w)
• Meeting effectiveness — % of meetings with clear outcome (qualitative)
• Process maturity — level 1-5 scale (see COO advisor)
• Cross-functional initiative completion — % on time, on scope

7. 🔒 Security Health (CISO)

What it measures: Are we protecting customers and maintaining compliance?

Key metrics:

• Security incidents (last 90 days) — Green: 0, Yellow: 1-2 minor, Red: 1+ major

8. 📣 Market Health (CMO)

What it measures: Are we winning in the market and growing efficiently?

Key metrics:

• CAC trend — improving, flat, or worsening QoQ
• Organic vs paid lead mix — more organic = healthier (less fragile)
• Win rate — % of qualified opportunities closed-won (Green: >25%, Yellow: 15-25%, Red: <15%)
• Competitive win rate — against primary competitors specifically
• Brand NPS — awareness + preference scores in ICP

Scoring & Traffic Lights

Each dimension is scored 1-10 with traffic light:

• 🟢 Green (7-10): Healthy — maintain and optimize
• 🟡 Yellow (4-6): Watch — trend matters; improving or declining?
• 🔴 Red (1-3): Action required — address within 30 days

Overall Health Score: Weighted average by company stage (see references/health-benchmarks.md for weights).

DIMENSION SCORES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💰 Financial    🟢 8.2  Runway 14mo, burn 1.6x — strong
📈 Revenue      🟡 5.8  NRR 104%, pipeline thin (1.8x coverage)
🚀 Product      🟢 7.4  NPS 42, DAU/MAU 38%
⚙️  Engineering  🟡 5.2  Debt at 30%, MTTR 3.2h
👥 People       🔴 3.8  Attrition 24%, eng morale low
🔄 Operations   🟡 6.0  OKR 65% completion
🔒 Security     🟢 7.8  SOC 2 Type II complete, 0 incidents
📣 Market       🟡 5.5  CAC rising, win rate dropped to 22%
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TOP PRIORITIES
🔴 [1] People: attrition at 24% — engineering velocity will drop in 60 days
   Action: CHRO + CEO to run retention audit; target top 5 at-risk this week
🟡 [2] Revenue: pipeline coverage at 1.8x — Q+1 miss risk is high
   Action: CRO to add 3 qualified opps within 30 days or shift forecast down
🟡 [3] Engineering: tech debt at 30% of sprint — shipping will slow by Q3
   Action: CTO to propose debt sprint plan; COO to protect capacity

WATCH
→ People → Engineering cascade risk if attrition continues (see dimension interactions)

Graceful Degradation

You don't need all metrics to run a diagnostic. The tool handles partial data:

• Missing metric → excluded from score, flagged as "[data needed]"
• Score still valid for available dimensions
• Report flags which gaps to fill for next cycle
