Before You Enter the Diagnostic
This system is designed for a narrow operating class of CEO.
Most should not proceed.
WHO THE 12-QUESTION DRIFT DIAGNOSTIC™ IS FOR
This diagnostic is designed for a narrow operating class of CEO.
If any condition below is missing, the output degrades.
This is for CEOs who:
– are already experiencing invisible friction before metrics collapse
– control their decision stack, doctrine, and sequencing authority
– are willing to see structural truth without reassurance
Do you already sense organizational friction that has not yet appeared in metrics — but is slowing decision velocity, coherence, or execution?
If this diagnostic reveals that your identity, interpretation, or decision posture is the primary source of organizational drift, do you have unilateral authority to change doctrine, sequencing, or pacing without consensus?
If the diagnostic concludes that you are the current bottleneck — not your team, structure, or strategy — will you accept that signal immediately, without cushioning or reassurance?
If you recognized yourself clearly in all three sections, proceed. If not, this diagnostic will not produce usable signal.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS DIAGNOSTIC
Signal integrity requires exclusion under the conditions below.
❌ Validation-Seeking Leaders
❌ CEOs Without Interpretive Authority
❌ Effort- or People-Centric Drift Models
❌ Crisis or Collapse Conditions
If any of the above conditions apply, do not proceed. This diagnostic is a precision instrument — misuse degrades signal and outcome.
WHY THIS FILTER EXISTS
This diagnostic is not designed to be inclusive.
It is designed to be precise.
Its accuracy depends on the CEO’s interpretive authority, decision agency, and capacity to see structural truth without reassurance.
When taken outside those conditions, failure is inevitable:
-
signal distortion
-
defensive reinterpretation
-
misuse of output
-
degraded outcomes
This filter governs access to the diagnostic in order to maintain:
-
the integrity of the diagnostic
-
the time and attention of qualified CEOs
-
the clarity of downstream work
Exclusion is not a marketing tactic.
It is a structural requirement.
Any diagnostic generalized beyond its operating conditions loses signal integrity.
This system produces actionable signal only for leaders with unilateral decision authority.
WHAT PROCEEDING MEANS
-
This diagnostic produces orientation, not recommendations.
-
It identifies where drift originates, not how to fix it.
-
It does not resolve drift — it establishes whether resolution is possible.
Constraints:
-
Results are interpretive, not justificatory.
-
Output assumes direct executive action.
-
No mediation, translation, or cushioning is provided.
If you are not prepared to treat the output as a signal that governs action — do not proceed.
