Where is your plan leaking value?

A good plan can still deliver nothing, and it usually fails at the same six points: no evidence, no number, no order, no owner, no delivery rhythm, no reconciliation. Score your business honestly against each and see where the value is draining out between the recommendation and the result.

Answer honestly, for how things really work, not how they're meant to. There are twelve statements across the six points of the loop. Rate how true each one is today.

1 Evidence Do you know where value moves?

We can say, in numbers, where in the business value is being made and where it's being lost.

Our improvement priorities come from evidence, not from whoever argues hardest in the room.

2 Valued Is every initiative worth something specific?

Every initiative on our plan has a dollar value attached to it.

We can rank our initiatives by what they're worth, not just how urgent they feel.

3 Sequenced Is the work ordered to your capacity?

We deliberately sequence initiatives to the capacity we actually have.

We finish a small number of initiatives rather than half-running many at the same time.

4 Owned Does each initiative have one name against it?

Every initiative has a single named owner, not a team or a committee.

The owner of each initiative is asked about it by name, on a regular cadence.

5 Delivered Does the work have a rhythm to move it?

Each initiative has a delivery rhythm where progress is reviewed and the next move decided.

Strategic work has protected time, rather than being squeezed around the day job.

6 Reconciled Do you check what actually paid?

We check afterwards whether each initiative delivered the value it promised.

That check is made against the actual accounts, not just a status update.

Execution drift score

50/100

Leaking value

The plan is losing a meaningful share of its value between the recommendation and the result. The thinking may be sound, but the mechanism that turns it into money in the accounts has real gaps.

Your biggest leak

No number

Initiatives compete on how urgent they sound, not on what they're actually worth.

Where the loop is closed, and where it's open

Each bar is how tightly that point of the loop is closed. Short bars are where value drains out. Close the shortest first.

A Commercial Assessment finds where the value is leaking and puts a number on it; the APG Platform gives every initiative an owner and reconciles it against your accounts, so the loop stays closed.

A self-assessment, only as honest as the answers. It measures the mechanism that turns strategy into results, not the quality of the strategy itself. A high score doesn't guarantee the right plan, and a low score doesn't mean the thinking is wrong; it means the value is leaking before it reaches the accounts. Directional, not a valuation. Not financial advice.

Every recommendation evidenced, every initiative valued, every commitment owned, every result reconciled.

That is the loop, and the drift is what happens wherever it's left open. A Commercial Assessment is where it starts to close.
