Methodology

The Transformation Performance Index

TPI is a 0–100 composite score that captures how an organization is performing across the four things a board has to answer for. Same instrument every quarter, comparable across quarters. Triangulated across survey responses, customer-uploaded documents, and read-only telemetry, so a single source can't carry the number alone.

The four board pillars

Readiness
30% weight

“Are we set up to do AI well?”

Execution
30% weight

“Are we shipping?”

Value
20% weight

“Is it working?”

Governance
20% weight

“Are we in control?”

How the score is structured

One number for the board, built from a clear hierarchy you can trace down to the evidence. The TPI rolls up through 4 board pillars, 16 dimensions, and 48 evidence-anchored questions in the Core Assessment, each dimension weighted, each question answered from evidence rather than opinion alone.

4
Board pillars

Readiness, Execution, Value, Governance: the four questions a board answers for.

16
Dimensions

Each pillar breaks into weighted dimensions, so a score is never a black box.

48
Evidence anchors

Every dimension is answered by anchored questions, then triangulated across sources.

Beyond the Core Assessment, 26 optional diagnostic modules let a team go deeper on a specific topic, from data infrastructure to EU AI Act readiness, on demand.

What's in the full methodology

Customers (Paid Pilot and above) get the full methodology page inside the platform: per-pillar weight rationale, the source-class triangulation table (telemetry 1.0 · document 0.8 · survey 0.5 · …), the per-module dimension breakdowns, the evidence-value tier matrix, the cross-module rule library, the validity scoring framework, and the methodology version history.

  • Triangulation formulas, how multiple sources reconcile to a single dimension score.
  • Pillar weight rationale, why Readiness and Execution carry 30% and Value/Governance 20%.
  • Cross-module rule library, 79 pattern rules across families A–K.
  • Validity Center, five textbook validity dimensions per pillar, with honest insufficient-data states.
  • Sector profiles, banking, public-sector, mid-market, early-stage weight variants.
  • Hallucination guards, the four-layer narrator guard, audit trail, and EU LLM inference routing (AWS Bedrock, source eu-west-1).
