How to answer: what each option means

For every question, choose the option that describes what is true in your business today, not what you plan to do.

0Absent

Not in place. There is no process, document, or practice, and nothing is planned yet.

Example: no written agreement with a key supplier or co-founder.

1Ad hoc

Happens informally or inconsistently. It depends on individuals and is not written down.

Example: records are kept in a notebook or chat, updated when someone remembers.

2Formalised

Documented and followed consistently. A written policy or process exists, someone owns it, and you can show evidence.

Example: signed agreements on file; monthly accounts prepared in a set format.

3Embedded

Part of routine operations, reviewed regularly, and not dependent on any one person. It would stand up to an external review.

Example: accounts reviewed by the board each quarter and independently audited.

If you are between two levels, choose the lower one unless you can point to evidence for the higher one.
