Question 1 of 5 · People

When you are unavailable, how well can other people exercise sound judgement?

Most people wait for my instruction or carry out tasks without understanding the reason.A few people are capable, but difficult or unfamiliar decisions still return to me.Trusted people carry defined areas well, though their judgement still needs development.Several people understand the heart of the work, make sound decisions and help others grow.

Question 2 of 5 · Culture

How clearly do people know what the work values and what those values look like in practice?

The culture depends mainly on my example, explanations and correction.Our values are named, but people interpret or practise them differently.People share a useful understanding, though pressure still exposes important gaps.Our values guide everyday behaviour, decisions, feedback and how new people are formed.

Question 3 of 5 · Structure

Where do the knowledge and processes needed to carry the work actually live?

Mainly in my memory, messages and repeated verbal explanations.Some things are written down, but the records are scattered, incomplete or rarely used.Core processes are documented and used, though important judgement still remains informal.People can find, use, improve and hand over the core knowledge without depending on me.

Question 4 of 5 · Shared authority

How much real authority accompanies the responsibility other people carry?

Most meaningful decisions still require my approval.I delegate tasks, but people often lack the permission, information or resources to finish well.Some people have clear decision areas, though boundaries and support need strengthening.Responsibility, authority, accountability and support are deliberately aligned.

Question 5 of 5 · Multiplication

Who can carry the heart of the work and form other people to carry it?

No one yet; teaching, correction and formation still depend on me.I have reliable helpers, but they mainly extend my reach rather than develop others.One or two people are becoming carriers who can teach, adapt and guide others.Several people can protect the heart, adapt the method and raise new carriers with integrity.

This check-in is a reflective orientation tool, not a formal organisational diagnosis. A low result does not mean the work has failed. It identifies one dependency worth examining.
