How the Assessment Works

The Revenue Trajectory Assessment is a structured self-diagnostic designed to evaluate the organizational factors most directly correlated with consistent, scalable revenue growth.

Assessment Structure

The assessment consists of twenty calibrated questions across six forces. Each question offers five behaviorally anchored choices reflecting how the organization actually operates, scored from 1 (a significant gap or constraint) to 5 (a genuine strength).

Questions are designed to prompt honest self-evaluation rather than aspirational responses. The most useful results come from assessing current reality, not intended future state.

The Six Forces

01

Leadership & Direction

Whether targets are grounded in evidence, resources follow priorities, and important decisions are made in time.

02

Customer Conditions

Whether the basis of winning is genuine, customers are expanding or pulling back, and revenue is not overly concentrated.

03

Organizational Capability

Whether the organization has the capacity to deliver its targets, can diagnose what caused a miss, and is not overdependent on a few people.

04

Performance Environment

Whether leaders hold honest blame-free reviews, teams own cross-team results together, and recognition is clear and fair enough that people strive to excel.

05

Revenue Engine

Whether the organization wins at intended pricing, the pipeline can be trusted, and growth is reaching the bottom line.

06

Adaptation & Learning

Whether the organization changes course when evidence says the plan isn't working, learns from wins and losses, and confronts a weakening formula.

Scoring

Scores within each force are averaged and converted to a percentage. The six force scores are combined into an overall assessment score.

Scores are interpreted against three performance thresholds:

  • 70–100%
    Positive trajectory— Real capability in place, with isolated areas to optimize.
  • 55–69%
    Moderate trajectory—positive, but at risk— Activity is happening, but the underlying structure to convert it reliably is not fully in place.
  • 0–54%
    Constrained trajectory— Performance is driven by individual effort and circumstance rather than a repeatable structure.

Output

Upon completion, each respondent receives an overall assessment score, a six-force profile, key observations, strengths and areas to examine, detected tensions, and a set of practical next steps to consider. Results are generated immediately and saved so you can return to them.
