Operations Protocol · The Fractional Operating Standard

Field Scorecard

Score one engagement against the Standard: six health dimensions, ten governance indicators, one verdict. Three minutes. If the number doesn't match what your gut already knew — that's worth knowing too.

Part A · Engagement health — the Health Composite (M1)

Score six dimensions, 0–10

0 means the described condition has failed entirely; 10 means it holds without exception. Weights are fixed by the Standard.

Part B · The governance register — the Governance Score (M17)

Mark every indicator active right now

Each is an observable event, weighted by how directly it strikes at authority. Marking none scores 100.

Indicative reading. The full Standard adds posture, scope-change history, and authority-matrix triggers to tier assignment.
Next · What the number is for

One reading is a snapshot. The Standard runs on the trend.

Score again in two weeks. If it moved, you'll want the record of why.

This is a self-assessment, scored from memory. At renewal time the same instruments can be computed from your actual engagement record instead — and turned into the artifact that justifies your fee to the client who's about to decide on it.

That version isn't public yet. If you want a read on the scores you just produced, send them to me and I'll reply myself: raine@operationsprotocol.com
