Free Meaning Readiness Snapshot

For: Any leader who wants a fast read on whether their organization may be at risk for meaning misalignment.

A five-question self-assessment that surfaces early signals — where leadership intent may be diverging from how it's actually landing across the organization. Free, immediate, and built to be the first honest data point, not a diagnosis.

Format: Five-question online assessment. 

Timeline: Immediate. 

You get: A readiness result and a recommendation for next steps.

For: Leaders preparing to share, or who have just shared, one high-stakes message and want to know how it actually landed.

We take a single message, such as a leadership transition, a restructuring announcement, or a policy change, and compare what leadership intended it to mean with how staff actually understood it and what they plan to do next. Leadership's intent is recorded before staff are asked anything, so the comparison is direct. It's a contained, fast engagement, and the fee is credited toward a full Diagnostic if you continue within 90 days.

Timeline: Ten business days

Includes: Leadership intent brief, anonymous staff survey, two-page gap readout with clarification priorities, and a 60-minute leadership debrief.

Investment: Starting at $2,500

For: Leadership teams, management teams, and conferences that want to understand what happens after a message is sent.

An interactive session built on the Meaning Gap research. Participants work through a real or realistic message, compare how differently it can be read, and leave with practical tools for checking interpretation before they assume alignment. Sessions are tailored to your organization or audience.

Format: 90 minutes or half day, virtual or in person
Investment: Starting at $2,500

For: Executive Directors, CHROs, and Chiefs of Staff who know something isn't landing across the organization — but can't yet see where, or why leadership keeps assuming alignment that doesn't exist.

This is the core diagnostic: a structured, four-to-six-week engagement that tests how leadership intent moves through your organization and where it changes along the way. We assess it across seven dimensions — message clarity, trust influence, interpretive alignment, psychological safety, implication perception, feedback loop strength, and action readiness — using a Leadership Intent Brief alongside an anonymous employee Meaning Mapping Survey.

Timeline: Four to six weeks. 

Includes: Kickoff, message selection, leadership intent briefs, anonymous employee survey, optional interviews, full analysis, Meaning Gap Assessment Summary, leadership debrief, and a recommendations roadmap.

Investment: Starting at $10,000
