Continuity Readiness Diagnostic
Assess whether an essential public outcome is merely documented, operationally usable or genuinely tested under pressure.
Assessment context
Score the available evidence
The institution cannot answer or evidence is unavailable.
A plan, policy or description exists, but operational use is unproven.
Owners, resources and procedures are in place and usable.
The capability has been exercised realistically or used successfully and improved afterwards.
A confident opinion is not evidence. Score each statement according to the strongest current evidence you can identify.
Continuity readiness
The overall score must not conceal an unknown essential capability. The following questions require immediate review:
Readiness by layer
Suggested priorities
Evidence notes
This Diagnostic is a decision-support tool, not a certification. The total provides orientation, but action should be driven by critical zeros, weak layers and the quality of evidence behind each score. Repeat the assessment after exercises, organisational changes or major changes to technology, suppliers, law or staffing.
