This Week

Score your organization on the Application Scorecard above. Be honest. A 1 is not shameful—it is a starting point.
Pick the lowest-scoring truth and run one application step from its checklist.
Share the scorecard with your leadership team. Ask them to score independently, then compare. The gaps in perception are as valuable as the scores themselves.
Schedule one "what did we learn?" session for a recent project, successful or not. Make it blameless. Make it mandatory.
Write one framework to replace one approval. Pick your most frequent approval request. Write the guardrails. Publish them.
