Stuck Program Diagnostic.

For program managers running multi-year work that has started to feel off.

Adaptive interview, scored against a fixed rubric. The output is an eight-page recovery brief that names where the program sits, three recovery options labelled by intervention shape, and the three moves to make in the next fortnight regardless of which option you pick. Built for the PM. Useful even if you never speak to me again.
