Area 01 / 05Documented process

Our core delivery process is written down somewhere a new joiner could follow.

Two different people doing the same task would do it substantially the same way.

When someone leaves, their work can be picked up without a long handover.

Area 02 / 05Ownership and handoffs

Every recurring task has one named owner, not a team that shares it.

Work passing between people has a clear trigger, so nothing waits to be chased.

The business runs for a week without the founder unblocking decisions.

Area 03 / 05Measurement

We track a small number of numbers weekly, not just revenue at month end.

We could say which step loses the most customers between enquiry and sale.

When something improves, we can tell whether it was the change or the season.

Area 04 / 05Capacity and bottlenecks

We know which step would break first if volume doubled next quarter.

Busy periods are planned for rather than absorbed by people working late.

We turn work away for the right reasons, not because we lost track of it.

Area 05 / 05Systems and tools

Customer and job information lives in one place both sales and delivery trust.

Nobody re-enters the same information into a second system by hand.

Routine admin is automated where it sensibly can be, not done out of habit.

Common Questions

Frequently
Asked.

What is the DOMS operations diagnostic?

It is a free 15-statement self-assessment covering five areas where growing businesses commonly stall: documented process, ownership and handoffs, measurement, capacity and bottlenecks, and systems and tools. It scores out of 30 and shows which area to address first.

Do I have to give my email to see my score?

No. The score, the banded result and the area-by-area breakdown all appear on the page as soon as you finish. An email is only asked for afterwards, if you want the newsletter that explains how businesses fix each area.

How long does the assessment take?

About four minutes. There are 15 statements grouped into five areas of three, and each one is answered No, Partly or Yes. Your score, your band and the area-by-area breakdown all appear on the page as soon as you answer the last statement.

What do the score bands mean?

A score of 13 or below means the business runs on its people rather than its systems. Between 14 and 22 the fundamentals are in place but concentrated in a few people or habits. Above 22, operations are structured and the constraint is usually pricing or revenue mix rather than execution.
