Decisions return for debate
Accountability is unclear, or choices travel further up the organisation than they need to.

The Decision Gap Diagnostic
Are your teams waiting on the system around them?
Capable teams can still struggle to make progress when decisions, priorities, funding and ownership are not clear across the organisation. This practical leadership scorecard helps identify where the wider decision system may be slowing delivery.
Six leadership areas. Approximately 10 minutes. A directional result, not a formal assessment.
Why this matters
The gap is often between delivery capacity and decision capacity.
Work moves, yet the next decision does not. Leaders and teams carry competing priorities, unresolved dependencies and reporting requirements, often with different views of what matters most.
Culture, leadership behaviour, ownership and cross-functional ways of working can help decisions flow or quietly constrain progress.
Priorities compete for capacity
New work is added without a visible decision about what should pause, stop or wait.
Activity obscures value
Progress is reported, but outcomes, risk, learning and the cost of delay remain difficult to see.
How to use the scorecard
Score what happens under pressure, not what is intended.
Select the description that most closely reflects your organisational reality in each of the six areas. The diagnostic is suitable for individual reflection or a leadership-team conversation.
Stuck
Decision flow creates delay, repeated friction or lost focus.
Stretched
Good practice exists but is not yet consistent across the organisation.
Strong
Clarity, ownership and feedback help work move with focus.
Your total is scored out of 18: 6–9 Stuck, 10–14 Stretched, and 15–18 Strong. The lowest-scoring areas are useful signals, not judgements about people.
Your decision gap scorecard
Where is the decision system helping or slowing progress?
Complete the six-area diagnostic below. The secure Tally form collects your contact information, answers and consent, calculates your result, and supports your personalised result page.
After you submit
Your score should lead to a more useful conversation.
The result helps you focus on the leadership conditions that may need attention before the next major decision.
See your result
Your total places the decision system in the Stuck, Stretched or Strong range.
Review the six areas
Your result page uses the individual scores to highlight where leadership focus may matter most.
Choose the next decision
Use the findings to discuss a real priority, constraint or trade-off that needs clearer ownership.
This is an initial leadership signal, not a full CLEAR Model® assessment or a prediction of business results.
Questions worth clarifying
What this diagnostic can — and cannot — tell you.
Use the score to focus a practical leadership discussion, not to label the organisation or replace evidence.
Is this the full CLEAR Model® diagnostic?
No. The six-area Decision Gap scorecard highlights possible decision friction. The CLEAR Model® examines the wider organisational conditions of Culture, Leadership, Execution, Adaptability and Responsiveness.
Why are contact details requested?
They allow ExoFutures and Giles Lindsay to provide the diagnostic result and relevant leadership follow-up, in line with the consent given in the Tally form.
How does the score relate to measurable value?
It helps highlight where decisions may be constraining progress. CLEAR Value connects organisational evidence to practical choices, investment implications and outcomes. A score alone does not establish financial benefit or return on investment.
A practical next conversation
Bring one decision that needs a clearer answer.
Perhaps priorities keep competing, funding is difficult to redirect or progress is not translating into visible value. We can explore the conditions behind the challenge and whether CLEAR Value offers a useful way forward.
The Decision Gap Diagnostic was developed for the Enterprise Agility leadership conversation with Giles Lindsay and ExoFutures.
