The Folklore Test
A scorecard for spotting infrastructure debt in scale-up businesses.
Most scaling businesses have more workarounds than systems - spreadsheets doing too much, processes that live in someone's head, reports nobody fully trusts. It works, until it doesn't.
This is a fast read on where the weak points are. Four questions, applied across the processes that matter, with a traffic-light score for each one. Twenty minutes with the team.

What you'll get
- The four-question test
- A scoring grid for your top processes - pipeline, billing, delivery, resourcing, reporting
- A traffic-light read on each one
- What each score means, and the cost it tends to point to
- Where to start once you've scored
Who it's for
Founders and ops leaders of scale-up businesses - roughly 5-30 people, approaching or past £1M. The stage where things are growing but you can feel them slipping in places you can't quite name.
If reporting takes ages, if one person on holiday means a lost week, or if you've stopped trusting the numbers, this is for you.

I'm a Fractional Delivery and Operations Director. I work with founders and ops leaders in scale-up businesses to sort out messy delivery and build operations that hold up as the team grows. The Folklore Test is usually one of the first things I run - it's hard to fix what you can't see. If you want to talk through what you find, you can reach me at jonmunson.co.uk.
