Your real constraint, named
A report you can act on
Specific tools, not generic advice
A few things before you begin

This diagnostic works best when you answer based on how things actually work, not how you wish they worked or how they work on their best day.

A helpful test: would the majority of people in the organization agree with your assessment? If your honest reaction to a question is "it depends on the department," don’t average it out. Score for the version of the organization where the friction is most visible. That’s usually where the constraint lives.

Your answers stay private. We use them to build your report, and only follow up if you share your email at the end (optional, and easy to decline). No cookies, no tracking, no selling your data. Full details in our privacy policy.
