System Health Audit

See what is actually slowing your organization down.

A focused diagnostic for leadership teams that need clearer visibility into where coordination, decision-making, accountability, and operating rhythm are breaking down and what level of Cadence support makes sense next.

Leadership team reviewing operating priorities and bottlenecks

A strategic operating assessment.

Diagnose what is structurally creating drag before committing to the wrong level of support.

What It Is

A strategic operating assessment

The System Health Audit is a paid diagnostic designed to evaluate how your organization is currently operating beneath the surface.

It helps identify where friction is accumulating, where leadership capacity is being absorbed, where systems are too loose or too dependent on individual effort, and what kind of operating support would create the most leverage.

This is not a lightweight quiz or generic advisory call. It is a structured assessment that helps clarify what is happening, what is causing it, and what should happen next.

Who It Is For

Best for organizations that are feeling the strain of growth, complexity, or inconsistency

The System Health Audit is a strong fit for organizations that are experiencing one or more of the following:

leadership teams carrying too much operational weight

unclear ownership or inconsistent accountability

recurring communication breakdowns across teams

tools, meetings, and workflows that no longer work together well

growth that has outpaced internal coordination

a sense that things are running, but not running cleanly

Not sure whether you need the Audit or a full Cadence engagement? The Audit is the best place to start when the problem is real but the right level of intervention is not yet clear.

What the Audit Looks At

The core conditions shaping how your organization runs.

Each System Health Audit reviews the core conditions shaping how your organization runs.

leadership rhythm and decision flow

role clarity and accountability structure

cross-team coordination

operational bottlenecks and recurring friction

visibility into priorities, progress, and follow-through

current tools, systems, and points of fragmentation

readiness for a stronger operating backbone

What You Receive

Clear diagnosis and a credible next step.

  • a structured review of current operating conditions
  • diagnosis of the key constraints affecting execution and coordination
  • a clear summary of where friction is structural, not just situational
  • recommendations for the most appropriate next step
  • a suggested Cadence path, whether Steady, Measured, Full, or phased support

How It Works

A simple diagnostic pathway.

Discovery and review

We gather context on how your organization currently operates, where pressure is building, and what leadership is experiencing.

Diagnostic assessment

We review the operating structure, rhythms, coordination patterns, and system points most likely contributing to friction or instability.

Findings and next-step recommendation

You receive a clear assessment of what is happening, what matters most, and what level of Cadence support makes sense next.

Investment

System Health Audits begin at $3,500.

Final scope depends on organizational size, complexity, number of teams involved, and depth of review required.

Difference from Constraint Diagnostic

How this differs from the Constraint Diagnostic

The Constraint Diagnostic is a lighter assessment designed to help organizations identify likely friction patterns and surface where support may be needed.

The System Health Audit is a deeper, paid engagement designed to assess actual operating conditions, clarify what is structurally breaking down, and recommend the right path forward.

Constraint Diagnostic

A lightweight lead-in tool for identifying likely pain points.

System Health Audit

A strategic diagnostic for assessing real operating conditions and next-step fit.

Start with Clarity

If your organization is working hard but still feels harder to run than it should, the System Health Audit is the clearest place to begin.
