About this resource
Practical material for leadership teams
The Drift Diagnostic is a structured review that positions the business against its cost of capital and its two-year trajectory, then applies twenty-five evidence-based questions across five domains to separate cyclical pressure from structural decline. It closes with a decision structure covering the three credible roads out, and a runway calculation that shows which of them your balance sheet can still fund. Designed for completion by a leadership team together. Provided as a fillable PDF, a print-ready version for board sessions, and an Excel scorecard that calculates results and compares responses across participants.
