What this desk needs
Board packs, ERM frameworks, and consultant diagnostics excel at lagging indicators — revenue, churn, surveys. They miss identity fractures, courage depletion, and adaptation bandwidth until restructuring is already underway.
Where the Index fits
Effect: You leave with a scored, dated readout and a 90-day plan the board can act on — not a deck of opinions.
Board packs track lagging indicators. Stress builds in the structure first.
Six-domain profile
Domains for Corporate: Identity, Adaptation, Courage, Mind.
- Identity — Culture cohesion and trust — fractures before the restructuring memo is drafted.
- Adaptation — Absorptive capacity for change load — can the org take the transformation without thrashing.
- Courage — Leadership willingness to hold sequence, cut early, or reset — not cut first and learn later.
- Mind — Signal clarity through the management layer — decision quality under pressure.
What you leave with
- Readout: A scored readout, not an opinion — Score, structure, six domains, Threat Validation Gate, and reversibility — dated and defensible in the boardroom.
- Plan: A sequenced 90-day plan — Priorities, owners, and a probability-weighted risk register against the instrument face — not a generic template.
- Deploy: Deployment support when it's earned — If the plan calls for AI-driven restructure, deployment support scopes into the same engagement — after the readout justifies it.
How desks use it
- Supplier and corridor exposure beside org score — Pair Company Index on the company with corridor watch or Counterparty Pack on critical nodes — structural SCRM layer at /supply-chain.
- Pre-M&A target screening — Score acquisition targets as adaptive systems — Identity and Courage often flag integration risk before diligence spreadsheets do.
- Leadership transition monitoring — Track stress through CEO successions, reorgs, and culture shifts — phase boundaries as early warning, not HR anecdotes.
Evidence anchor
### What locks Headlines and conventional gauges still looked calm while structure was already under stress. On the sealed 2020–22 chip shortage replay, the entropy gap crossed Crisis in February 2020 — nineteen months before the September 2021 auto-production trough. Semiconductor throughput, inventory depletion, and chip-policy Identity registered while OEMs still treated lean inventory as a virtue.

What we will not claim
- This is structural classification — not a dated forecast, not an allocation signal, not a return claim.
- Scoring is deterministic under sealed physics. AI structures evidence into that formula and can read the face. It does not write the number.
Data in. Score out — no AI in the number.
Common questions
Can you score our company specifically? Yes — as a scoped engagement. We onboard the entity, run the RII instrument (score, domains, TVG, reversibility), and deliver a Company Index. Public benchmark pages cover countries, corridors, sectors, and global — not self-serve company pages.
Is there a historical supply-chain backtest relevant to corporates? Yes. The sealed 2020–22 chip shortage replay shows an early stress flag nineteen months before the September 2021 auto-production trough — while lean inventory was still treated as efficiency. Full case at /case-studies/chip-shortage-2021. UK gilts / LDI 2022 is not a corporate treasury lock — load + gap both elevated did not fire at the September 2022 mini-budget under frozen physics (disclosed diagnostic miss, not a retune).
What is a Company Index? A fixed ten-section RII organizational Index. The engine produces the instrument face; entity profile, horizon strategy, 90-day plan, and risk register are authored against that readout with source discipline. See /products/internal for the format specimen.
