Score the institution before you spend another quarter arguing about whether the program is ready.
This is the lightweight version of the assessment I use with clients. It is meant to expose the real blockers quickly: missing sponsorship, fuzzy governance, weak data foundations, and no clear decision path. If you want the PDF version, unlock it below and print the page.

You are still arguing about the shape of the program. Stop buying tools and fix sponsorship, scope, and ownership first.
You have some ingredients, but the operating model is not stable enough to move into a meaningful pilot without rework.
The institution has enough structure to run an assessment, rescue, or pilot with a real chance of making it into production.
One senior person has explicit accountability for the program, can make tradeoffs, and will still be in the room when the work gets uncomfortable.
You can name the decision, process, or operating pain the program is meant to change — in one sentence, without a slide deck.
You know who has to review the work, what artifacts they need, and what failure looks like if they are brought in too late.
You know where the required data lives, what is missing, and which systems or teams own the gaps.
There is a named person or team responsible for integration, change management, and getting the thing into production — not just building a demo.
You can say what success looks like, when you will decide, and what happens if the program does not clear the bar.
If a vendor is involved, you know whether they have experience at your scale, whether they can support the implementation, and what the escape hatch looks like.
Leadership can explain the program in plain English, including risk, budget, and timing, without sounding like they are reading a procurement slide.
Send the form and I will send the PDF version. The first conversation is free if the assessment points to a larger program problem.
