Tools & Frameworks
Three diagnostic frameworks built from real operational experience. Each takes under 10 minutes and provides an immediate, actionable assessment.
SIGNAL
Take the emotion out of risk conversationsA shared framework for raising and evaluating technology risk objectively. Score the risk, not the messenger. Used by operating partners and technology leaders to create a common language for risk conversations across the portfolio.
Standardize how portfolio companies surface and prioritize technology risk. One framework across the portfolio means consistent reporting and faster decision-making at the board level.
RADAR
Diagnose organizational decision-making healthEvaluate how well the organization supports technical decision-making across five structural dimensions. Surfaces the patterns that predict whether a technology investment will deliver or stall.
Use during diligence or the first 100 days to assess whether the organization has the structural capacity to execute the technology roadmap. A low RADAR score often explains why previous technology investments underperformed.
ESCAPE
Evaluate career fit across six dimensionsA diagnostic for technology leaders evaluating whether their current role fits across six dimensions of long-term career sustainability. Useful for understanding CTO retention risk.
High CTO turnover is the most expensive pattern in portfolio management. ESCAPE helps operating partners understand why technology leaders leave and what the organization can change to retain them.
