The Diagnostic Gateway of RapidKnowHow
This is not a survey.
It is a governance diagnostic designed to reveal where decisions silently destroy value—and why.
It is the single official entry point into RapidKnowHow.
1️⃣ Purpose (What This Test Does)
Expose decision failure before it becomes financial, strategic, or reputational damage.
The test identifies:
- decision overload
- governance friction
- execution breakdown
- legitimacy erosion
It replaces opinion with measurable clarity.
2️⃣ Who This Test Is For
- CEOs & founders
- Executive teams
- Institutional leaders
- Boards & governance bodies
Not for:
- curiosity seekers
- benchmarking tourists
- people avoiding responsibility
3️⃣ Structure (Fixed & Non-Negotiable)
Format:
- 20 questions
- 4 governance dimensions
- 5-point scale (1 = strongly disagree · 5 = strongly agree)
Total score range: 20–100
MODULE I — Decision Load
Are you overwhelmed or in control?
- We have a complete overview of all strategic decisions currently pending.
- Decision ownership is clearly assigned.
- Strategic decisions are resolved within defined timeframes.
- The number of unresolved decisions is decreasing.
- Decision overload is actively managed.
Failure pattern: Paralysis disguised as activity.
MODULE II — Governance Friction
Do structures enable or block decisions?
- Decision authority matches responsibility.
- Incentives support good decisions, not safe ones.
- Committees accelerate rather than delay decisions.
- Fear of blame does not influence decisions.
- Governance rules are clear and consistently applied.
Failure pattern: Governance theater.
MODULE III — Execution Drift
Do decisions actually happen?
- Decisions translate immediately into actions.
- Execution accountability is explicit.
- Feedback loops exist and function.
- Adjustments occur without restarting decisions.
- Execution outcomes are systematically reviewed.
Failure pattern: Decisions without consequences.
MODULE IV — Legitimacy & Trust
Do people accept and sustain decisions?
- Leadership decisions are transparent and explainable.
- People trust the rationale behind decisions.
- Strategic direction is widely understood.
- Dissent is allowed without penalty.
- Decisions strengthen trust rather than erode it.
Failure pattern: Compliance without commitment.
