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 conversations

A 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.

For investors

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 health

Evaluate 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.

For investors

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 dimensions

A diagnostic for technology leaders evaluating whether their current role fits across six dimensions of long-term career sustainability. Useful for understanding CTO retention risk.

For investors
