Five Continuity Measures

The Assessment reviews ten components and organizes the findings into five measures. Together they explain where value depends on people, accounts, decisions, knowledge and AI workflows.

What the measures cover

The five measures are Owner Coverage; Account Continuity; Decision and Role Transfer; Knowledge and Workflow Documentation; and AI: Real or Imaginary.

Buyer Disruption Cost feeds the before-and-after dollar analysis. It is not a sixth measure.

Evidence limits the rating

Each component is rated from 1 to 4. Asserted evidence caps the rating at 1; anecdotal at 2; documented at 3; operationalized at 4. Operationalized means running in a system and demonstrated without the owner.

A qualitative disruption-cost estimate is anecdotal. A documented cost scenario supports level 3; a modeled and mitigated scenario can support level 4.

How the findings are presented

The Absence Test dollar figure appears first across three buckets: revenue that follows a person, processes only one person can run, and imaginary claims in the sale materials. Two separate scores appear below: Can the value transfer? and Will it hold? They are never blended.

Plan and Runway turns the findings into an ordered fix list and a forecast. Day Two helps the buyer verify whether value holds after close.
