PEOPLEBOOKS
Does our current team realistically match our execution demands?
Assess whether current roles, capacity, and capability align with the structural and strategic demands of the business.
This evaluator assesses structural capacity and capability only. It does not evaluate motivation, morale, or culture.
What This Evaluator Does
Team Reality & Gaps determines whether execution demands exceed current capacity or capability. It validates whether named roles have sufficient time, focus, and operational resilience to deliver the outcomes defined in Work Design.
- Realistic time allocation per role
- Load vs capacity alignment
- Role coverage completeness
- Founder operational overload risk
- Survivability under absence
When To Use
- Plans expand faster than hiring
- Delivery feels constantly underwater
- Founders are still operating critical roles
- Execution slows during peak demand
- Key individuals appear to be single points of failure
Scoring Model
Total Score: 100 points
- Founder Operational Load — 0–20
- Capacity Allocation Realism — 0–20
- Load Concentration Risk — 0–20
- Role Coverage Integrity — 0–20
- Absence Survivability — 0–20
Verdict Bands
- 85–100 → Capacity Matched to Strategy
- 70–84 → Stretched but Viable
- 50–69 → Capacity Misaligned
- 0–49 → Structurally Overloaded
Assessment Complete. This verdict reflects structural capacity and capability alignment only.
Structural Operators
Team Reality & Gaps is composed of five operator tests that isolate structural capacity and survivability risks.
Founder Operational Load Extraction
Tests whether execution currently depends on the founder operating critical roles rather than structurally leading.
Run OperatorCapacity Allocation Stress Test
Tests whether current time allocations are realistic for operating the execution roles defined in Work Design.
Run OperatorLoad Concentration Mapping
Identifies single-point-of-failure operators running multiple critical execution systems.
Run OperatorRole Coverage Verification
Verifies that every Work Design execution role is actively covered by a named human with defined capacity.
Run OperatorAbsence Survivability
Tests whether execution continues if a critical operator becomes temporarily unavailable.
Run OperatorHow Team Reality & Gaps Fits Into PeopleBooks
Work Design validates structural architecture. Team Reality & Gaps validates capacity realism and operational resilience. Alignment & Performance validates coordination and execution consistency. Fit Summary synthesises system-level execution readiness.
