Decision Threat Diagnostic
An operational audit measuring the balance between status defense and exploratory inquiry across engineering and leadership workflows.
Part 1: Team Communication and Psychological Posture
Rate each statement from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always) based on actual team interactions. This vector assesses whether technical dialogue focuses on mechanical reality or reputational protection.
Part 2: Exploratory Risk Tolerance and Hypothesis Testing
Rate each statement from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). This vector evaluates whether projects default to conventional safety or maintain active, disciplined exploration.
Part 3: Failure Telemetry and Post-Mortem Response
Rate each statement from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). This vector measures whether unexpected technical outcomes are processed as blame or as neutral diagnostic signals.
Part 4: Bureaucratic Agility and Verification Debt
Rate each statement from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). This vector audits whether decision pathways suffer from consensus theater and multi-tiered committee insulation.
