COO Diagnostic

The COO Diagnostic is a 10-minute self-assessment. It scores how execution velocity, delivery predictability, and operating cost hold up against the plan you underwrote. It is built from CCA's CLEAR framework and the six-layer cost model. It shows a COO where operations help or hurt the plan before a buyer's diligence room asks the same questions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the COO Diagnostic?

A 10-minute self-assessment. It scores how execution velocity, delivery predictability, and operating cost hold up against the plan you underwrote. It returns a composite band from Execution Advantage to Off Plan.

Who is it for?

COOs of PE-backed and founder-led software companies. It gives a fast read on whether execution can deliver the operating plan, and where velocity, predictability, or cost will get in the way.

How long does it take?

About 10 minutes. There are nine questions, three per dimension. Two quick context questions, on hold period and how delivery is staffed, adjust what your score means.

What frameworks is it built on?

CCA's CLEAR operating framework (specifically its Execute phase on delivery discipline and cadence) and the six-layer cost model that maps every operating dollar to a bucket you can manage.

What do I get at the end?

A composite execution band, a dimension-by-dimension read with a plain-English line for each, a context-adjusted interpretation, and the option of a human-written read from Sujit within 48 hours.
