BRAND GOVERNANCE DIAGNOSTIC KIT

A DIAGNOSTIC SHOULD READ LIKE A WORKING SHEET, NOT AN ARTICLE.
The profile below is an illustrative sample showing how the same five dimensions can be read together. The live assessment generates the preliminary profile from the fifteen questions.

This is not a creativity score. The quantitative indicator supports a structural diagnosis and remains subordinate to critical governance gates.
02 / GOVERNANCE GATES
CRITICAL FAILURE CAN OVERRIDE THE AGGREGATE INDICATOR.
Authority, validation and traceability are not decorative dimensions. They determine whether a nominal score can legitimately be treated as governed.

THE RESULT MUST BE USABLE IN AN EXECUTIVE MEETING.
Structural observation is translated into risk, implication, governance priority and a decision route.
