Governance Debt Index
Identify gaps in operating ownership, measures and governance that accumulate as the business grows.
01 / You're here if…
Founder-led or PE-backed scale
02 / The question we answer
Which risks and metrics can the board not see, and who owns them?
03 / How we work
Built around the work that matters.
Connect board oversight to execution through KPI architecture, operating cadence, risk heatmaps and ownership models.
Diagnostic Sprint
A 2–4 week Diagnostic Sprint reviews KPI architecture, operating cadence and ownership. It sets the priorities for stronger operating discipline and the delivery scope.
Where operating confidence breaks down.
The board sees a dashboard, but it is still hard to tell who owns the next operating decision. You need measures, reviews and risk visibility that connect oversight to action rather than another reporting layer.
What we deliver
- 01KPI architecture that connects operating measures to decisions.
- 02An operating cadence for board, executive and delivery reviews.
- 03Risk heatmaps that make operating exposure visible.
- 04Ownership models with clear decision and escalation responsibilities.
04 / Framework used
A clear way to make progress visible.
Institutionalization Curve

05 / Relevant case
From penalties to growth in one quarter.
Underperforming centre, SLA at 85%, one large account paying penalties for three months. Governance and org structure rebuilt. SLA 85% → 95%+ in 2 months; 2× profitability and NPS 75 in 3; the penalty account added 50 FTE the next quarter.
