Diagnostic Qualifier – CreationUnified

This tool estimates whether a decision-structure diagnostic is likely to add value for your team right now. It looks for measurable signs that execution is being slowed by approval/escalation congestion, rework from late changes, delayed outcome feedback, or unclear decision ownership.

Enter a few estimates and you’ll get a High / Medium / Low diagnostic-value indicator, charts showing the underlying drivers, and an optional hours-at-risk estimate. The tool runs locally in your browser, stores nothing, and will flag “Evidence insufficient” when key inputs are missing

Decision-Structure Diagnostic Value Tool

A neutral, local-only assessment of whether a decision-structure diagnostic is likely to add value based on congestion, rework, feedback delay, and decision clarity indicators.

Inputs

Fill what you can. The tool will flag where evidence is insufficient.

Section A — Decision Flow

Avg “meaningful” decisions per week

Typical decision cycle time

Unit

% of decisions requiring ≥2 approvals

35%

Escalation frequency (% escalated above direct owner)

25%

# of handoffs per decision (approx.)

Section B — Rework & Reversals

% of decisions revisited after execution begins

20%

Avg rework hours per revisited decision

Late reversal rate (direction changes after approval)

Section C — Feedback & Measurement

Time to outcome signal

Unit

Outcome clarity (1=unclear, 5=clear)

Instrumentation present (check all that apply)

Used only to adjust “evidence sufficiency,” not to assume value.

Cycle time tracked Rework tracked Decision log exists SLA/OKR alignment documented

Section D — Roles & Accountability

Decision owner clarity (0–100)

Decision rights documented (RACI/DACI/etc.)

Tradeoffs explicit at decision time (1–5)

Section E — Context

Work type

Interdependence level (1–5)

Volatility level (1–5)

Local-only: no data is stored or transmitted by this tool. Outputs are conditional and evidence-limited by your inputs.

Outputs

Diagnostic Value

—

Score: —

Congestion

—

Approvals / escalations / cycle time

Rework

—

Revisits / rework hours / reversals

Feedback Delay

—

Time-to-signal adjusted by clarity

Decision Clarity

—

Owner clarity / rights / tradeoffs

Profile (Radar)

Top Drivers (Bar)

Driver Notes (neutral, evidence-limited)

These statements describe what your inputs imply, not guarantees.

Hours-at-risk estimate (optional)

A rough hours/week estimate from delays and rework. Not a financial estimate.

Estimated rework hours / week

—

decisions/week × revisit% × rework hours

Estimated waiting/friction hours / week

—

cycle time × friction factor × decisions/week

Scoring is heuristic and transparent. A “High” result means “inputs suggest congestion/rework/feedback issues are large enough that structure-focused diagnosis is plausibly informative.”
