Organizational health assessment
Eight domains. A benchmarked read.
Six intake questions and ten core questions, about two and a half minutes, across governance, leadership and staffing, strategy, financial health and controls, fundraising, program outcomes, systems and documentation, and external relations. Each domain is scored on its own. Your result appears the moment you finish, and you can deepen any domain from there.
What this is, and what it is not.
- 10 questions across eight domains, about two and a half minutes from the first question to a full result. Every question describes a concrete state, not an opinion about yourselves.
- Each domain can then be expanded in place, 60 to 90 seconds apiece, lowest scoring first. Expanding sharpens the score and its confidence, and only expanded domains enter the comparison set. None of it is required.
- Fundraising is one domain of eight. It contributes exactly one eighth of the composite, because an organization can raise money well and still be exposed on cash, governance, retention, or documentation.
- Each domain gets its own score out of 5, its own band label, a confidence label that says how many questions it rests on, its own benchmark with the sample size shown, and its own recommendation.
- Every factual question offers "not sure". That answer is recorded as a documentation finding, not as a failure.
- Your band, your profile line, all eight domain bands, a named strength, what your answers say, and three actions appear the moment you finish, with no form to fill in. Your name and a working email open the full report: every score out of 5, the hundred word read, the twelve month conditions, and a peer percentile on any domain where enough comparable records exist.
The eight domains
- 1. Governance, Board, and Compliance
- 2. Leadership, Staffing, and Culture
- 3. Strategy and Adaptability
- 4. Financial Health and Controls
- 5. Fundraising and Revenue Development
- 6. Program Delivery and Outcomes
- 7. Systems, Data, and Documentation
- 8. External Relations and Community Standing
- Strong
- The practice is documented, owned and running without heroics.
- Solid
- The practice works, with one clear addition that would make it durable.
- Uneven
- Some of the practice exists, but it depends on who is available that week.
- Underbuilt
- The practice has not been built yet, so results depend on circumstance.
Estimated time: under 3 minutes to a full result. Your answers save as you go, so you can leave and come back.
