How do we track our actual velocity and performance improvement across the twenty-four months of working with you, particularly when our financial numbers might not immediately reflect the internal changes we are making?

To evaluate your progress during our twenty-four-month engagement, we look beyond immediate top-line revenue growth, which can often be a lagging indicator. Instead, we focus on leading indicators of organizational health and structural capacity.

First, we measure your Rock completion rate. A healthy, aligned leadership team should consistently achieve an eighty percent or higher completion rate on their quarterly Rocks. If your team is hitting this benchmark, it demonstrates a high level of execution discipline.

Second, we look at the health of your weekly Level 10 Meeting. We track whether your departments are running their own meetings effectively and resolving issues autonomously without escalation to the owner. This is a direct measure of how well the operating system is cascading down through your organization.

Third, we evaluate your cash runway and operational run-rate using metrics like Time to Starve. This metric shows how many months your business can survive if revenue completely stops, which is a clear indicator of financial resilience and structural efficiency.

Finally, we track your team's score on the Organizational Checkup, which we run at the start of the engagement and repeat before every Annual planning session to visually map your journey toward one hundred percent strong in the Six Keys.
