The One Rule
Score what is actually true today — not what you intend, not what you aspire to.
“Is this how we actually operate — or is this how I wish we did?”
Consistently true: We Do This.   Hit or miss: Sometimes / Not Always.   Not happening: We Don’t Do This.
✓ What You Get
A complete picture of the guiding principles your business is actually running on right now — the honest foundation your Foundation Statement is built from.

Before You Move On

Which answer surprised you most — and what does that tell you?
Where were you most tempted to score what you aspire to rather than what is actually true today?
Which statement made you hesitate longest before answering?
