How scoring works

The 1–5 implementation scale

  • 1 · Not available The practice does not exist in our organisation at all.
  • 2 · Ad hoc Happens occasionally or informally, driven by individuals; not documented or repeatable.
  • 3 · Partially implemented Applied in some programmes or for some participants, but inconsistently.
  • 4 · Substantially implemented Applied consistently in most programmes, with only minor gaps.
  • 5 · Fully implemented Fully embedded, resourced, applied consistently and actively monitored.

Relative priority

Every element carries a priority rating showing how strongly the evidence links it to programme outcomes and ROI. An essential element scored low is a far bigger risk than a supportive one scored low — your recommendations are ordered accordingly.
