## Scoring & Traffic Lights

Each dimension is scored 1-10 with traffic light:
- 🟢 **Green (7-10):** Healthy — maintain and optimize
- 🟔 **Yellow (4-6):** Watch — trend matters; improving or declining?
- šŸ”“ **Red (1-3):** Action required — address within 30 days

**Overall Health Score:**
Weighted average by company stage (see `references/health-benchmarks.md` for weights).

## Dimension Interactions (Why One Problem Creates Another)

| If this dimension is red... | Watch these dimensions next |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------|
| Financial Health | People (freeze hiring) → Engineering (freeze infra) → Product (cut scope) |
| Revenue Health | Financial (cash gap) → People (attrition risk) → Market (lose positioning) |
| People Health | Engineering (velocity drops) → Product (quality drops) → Revenue (churn rises) |
| Engineering Health | Product (features slip) → Revenue (deals stall on product) |
| Product Health | Revenue (NRR drops, churn rises) → Market (CAC rises; referrals dry up) |
| Operational Health | All dimensions degrade over time (execution failure cascades everywhere) |

## Dashboard Output Format

```
ORG HEALTH DIAGNOSTIC — [Company] — [Date]
Stage: [Seed/A/B/C]   Overall: [Score]/10   Trend: [↑ Improving / → Stable / ↓ Declining]

DIMENSION SCORES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
šŸ’° Financial    🟢 8.2  Runway 14mo, burn 1.6x — strong
šŸ“ˆ Revenue      🟔 5.8  NRR 104%, pipeline thin (1.8x coverage)
šŸš€ Product      🟢 7.4  NPS 42, DAU/MAU 38%
āš™ļø  Engineering  🟔 5.2  Debt at 30%, MTTR 3.2h
šŸ‘„ People       šŸ”“ 3.8  Attrition 24%, eng morale low
šŸ”„ Operations   🟔 6.0  OKR 65% completion
šŸ”’ Security     🟢 7.8  SOC 2 Type II complete, 0 incidents
šŸ“£ Market       🟔 5.5  CAC rising, win rate dropped to 22%
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TOP PRIORITIES
šŸ”“ [1] People: attrition at 24% — engineering velocity will drop in 60 days
   Action: CHRO + CEO to run retention audit; target top 5 at-risk this week
🟔 [2] Revenue: pipeline coverage at 1.8x — Q+1 miss risk is high
   Action: CRO to add 3 qualified opps within 30 days or shift forecast down
🟔 [3] Engineering: tech debt at 30% of sprint — shipping will slow by Q3
   Action: CTO to propose debt sprint plan; COO to protect capacity

WATCH
→ People → Engineering cascade risk if attrition continues (see dimension interactions)

## Graceful Degradation

You don't need all metrics to run a diagnostic. The tool handles partial data:
- Missing metric → excluded from score, flagged as "[data needed]"
- Score still valid for available dimensions
- Report flags which gaps to fill for next cycle

Ab Testing

When the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment, or build a growth experimentation program. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test," "split test," "experiment," "test this change," "variant copy," "multivariate test," "hypothesis," "should I test this," "which version is better," "test two versions," "statistical significance," "how long should I run this test," "growth experiments," "experiment velocity," "experiment backlog," "ICE score," "experimentation program," or "experiment playbook." Use this whenever someone is comparing two approaches and wants to measure which performs better, or when they want to build a systematic experimentation practice. For tracking implementation, see analytics. For page-level conversion optimization, see cro.
