COO Diagnostic

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

Common questions

What is the COO Diagnostic?
A 10-minute self-assessment that scores how execution velocity, delivery predictability, and operating cost hold up against the plan you underwrote, and returns a composite band from Execution Advantage to Off Plan.
Who is it for?
COOs of PE-backed and founder-led software companies who want 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. Nine questions, three per dimension, plus two quick context questions about hold period and how delivery is staffed that reframe 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.
