How to use it

Claude Code
  1. Run the line below. It pulls the whole folder into ~/.claude/skills/org-health-diagnostic, including the files SKILL.md points to.
  2. Describe your job in plain words. Claude Code follows the skill from there.
Claude Code — installs the whole folder, not just SKILL.md

For one project only, change the path to .claude/skills/org-health-diagnostic. This skill also uses health_scorer.py — copying SKILL.md alone won't be enough. See the folder on GitHub.

Claude (web or desktop app)
  1. On this page open ⋯ → Download .md.
  2. Save it as SKILL.md in a folder, zip the folder, then Customize → Skills → + → Create skill → Upload a skill.
  3. Pick the file and Save. Claude shows the name and description and runs a security scan.
  4. Check the skill is switched on.
  5. Start a new chat and describe your job in plain words. The AI follows the skill from there.
ChatGPT or another app
  1. ChatGPT: make a Project and paste it into Instructions.
  2. Neither? Paste it at the top of a new chat — it works for that chat.

The 8 Dimensions

1. 💰 Financial Health (CFO)

What it measures: Can we fund operations and invest in growth?

Key metrics:

  • Runway — months at current burn (Green: >12, Yellow: 6-12, Red: <6)
  • Burn multiple — net burn / net new ARR (Green: <1.5x, Yellow: 1.5-2.5x, Red: >2.5x)
  • Gross margin — SaaS target: >65% (Green: >70%, Yellow: 55-70%, Red: <55%)
  • MoM growth rate — contextual by stage (see benchmarks)
  • Revenue concentration — top customer % of ARR (Green: <15%, Yellow: 15-25%, Red: >25%)
2. 📈 Revenue Health (CRO)

What it measures: Are customers staying, growing, and recommending us?

Key metrics:

  • NRR (Net Revenue Retention) — Green: >110%, Yellow: 100-110%, Red: <100%
  • Logo churn rate (annualized) — Green: <5%, Yellow: 5-10%, Red: >10%

What it measures: Do customers love and use the product?

Key metrics:

  • NPS — Green: >40, Yellow: 20-40, Red: <20
  • DAU/MAU ratio — engagement proxy (Green: >40%, Yellow: 20-40%, Red: <20%)
  • Core feature adoption — % of users using primary value feature (Green: >60%)
  • Time-to-value — days from signup to first core action (lower is better)
  • Customer satisfaction (CSAT) — Green: >4.2/5, Yellow: 3.5-4.2, Red: <3.5
4. ⚙️ Engineering Health (CTO)

What it measures: Can we ship reliably and sustain velocity?

Key metrics:

  • Deployment frequency — Green: daily, Yellow: weekly, Red: monthly or less
  • Change failure rate — % of deployments causing incidents (Green: <5%, Red: >15%)
  • Mean time to recovery (MTTR) — Green: <1 hour, Yellow: 1-4 hours, Red: >4 hours
  • Tech debt ratio — % of sprint capacity on debt (Green: <20%, Yellow: 20-35%, Red: >35%)
  • Incident frequency — P0/P1 per month (Green: <2, Yellow: 2-5, Red: >5)
5. 👥 People Health (CHRO)

What it measures: Is the team stable, engaged, and growing?

Key metrics:

  • Regrettable attrition (annualized) — Green: <10%, Yellow: 10-20%, Red: >20%
  • Engagement score — (eNPS or similar; Green: >30, Yellow: 0-30, Red: <0)
  • Time-to-fill (avg days) — Green: <45, Yellow: 45-90, Red: >90
  • Manager-to-IC ratio — Green: 1:5–1:8, Yellow: 1:3–1:5 or 1:8–1:12, Red: outside
  • Internal promotion rate — at least 25-30% of senior roles filled internally
6. 🔄 Operational Health (COO)

What it measures: Are we executing our strategy with discipline?

Key metrics:

  • Decision cycle time — days from decision needed to decision made (Green: <48h, Yellow: 48h-1w)
  • Meeting effectiveness — % of meetings with clear outcome (qualitative)
  • Process maturity — level 1-5 scale (see COO advisor)
  • Cross-functional initiative completion — % on time, on scope
7. 🔒 Security Health (CISO)

What it measures: Are we protecting customers and maintaining compliance?

Key metrics:

8. 📣 Market Health (CMO)

What it measures: Are we winning in the market and growing efficiently?

Key metrics:

  • CAC trend — improving, flat, or worsening QoQ
  • Organic vs paid lead mix — more organic = healthier (less fragile)
  • Win rate — % of qualified opportunities closed-won (Green: >25%, Yellow: 15-25%, Red: <15%)
  • Competitive win rate — against primary competitors specifically
  • Brand NPS — awareness + preference scores in ICP

Scoring & Traffic Lights

Each dimension is scored 1-10 with traffic light:

  • 🟢 Green (7-10): Healthy — maintain and optimize
  • 🟡 Yellow (4-6): Watch — trend matters; improving or declining?
  • 🔴 Red (1-3): Action required — address within 30 days

Overall Health Score: Weighted average by company stage (see references/health-benchmarks.md for weights).


Dimension Interactions (Why One Problem Creates Another)

If this dimension is red... Watch these dimensions next
Financial Health People (freeze hiring) → Engineering (freeze infra) → Product (cut scope)
Revenue Health Financial (cash gap) → People (attrition risk) → Market (lose positioning)
People Health Engineering (velocity drops) → Product (quality drops) → Revenue (churn rises)
Engineering Health Product (features slip) → Revenue (deals stall on product)
Product Health Revenue (NRR drops, churn rises) → Market (CAC rises; referrals dry up)
Operational Health All dimensions degrade over time (execution failure cascades everywhere)

DIMENSION SCORES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💰 Financial    🟢 8.2  Runway 14mo, burn 1.6x — strong
📈 Revenue      🟡 5.8  NRR 104%, pipeline thin (1.8x coverage)
🚀 Product      🟢 7.4  NPS 42, DAU/MAU 38%
⚙️  Engineering  🟡 5.2  Debt at 30%, MTTR 3.2h
👥 People       🔴 3.8  Attrition 24%, eng morale low
🔄 Operations   🟡 6.0  OKR 65% completion
🔒 Security     🟢 7.8  SOC 2 Type II complete, 0 incidents
📣 Market       🟡 5.5  CAC rising, win rate dropped to 22%
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TOP PRIORITIES
🔴 [1] People: attrition at 24% — engineering velocity will drop in 60 days
   Action: CHRO + CEO to run retention audit; target top 5 at-risk this week
🟡 [2] Revenue: pipeline coverage at 1.8x — Q+1 miss risk is high
   Action: CRO to add 3 qualified opps within 30 days or shift forecast down
🟡 [3] Engineering: tech debt at 30% of sprint — shipping will slow by Q3
   Action: CTO to propose debt sprint plan; COO to protect capacity

WATCH
→ People → Engineering cascade risk if attrition continues (see dimension interactions)

Graceful Degradation

You don't need all metrics to run a diagnostic. The tool handles partial data:

  • Missing metric → excluded from score, flagged as "[data needed]"
  • Score still valid for available dimensions
  • Report flags which gaps to fill for next cycle
