Operations Baseline Snapshot.

An honest, factual picture of how your core operations run right now, so every judgment in the diagnostic rests on reality rather than impression.

Fill every field. Where you do not have a number, write "unknown," because not knowing is itself a finding.

Core processes

Your core operational processes (the recurring workflows the business runs on)

For each, a rough sense of how well it runs (smooth, shaky, or broken)

Flow

Where work most often piles up or waits (your worst bottlenecks)

Which problems keep coming back

Documentation and dependence

How much of your core work is documented versus held in people's heads

Would your core work run the same way if a key person were out for a month? (Yes or No, and why)

Measurement and firefighting

Any operational numbers you have (cycle time, error or rework rate, volume)

Roughly what share of your week is spent firefighting recurring issues (percent)

How to read it

Mark any that are true. Each is a sign your operations are not yet a system, and a signal you sit at the lower maturity levels:

Signal	True for us?
Our core work would not run the same without a specific person (person-dependence)
A high share of our week is firefighting recurring issues (reactive, not systematic)
Little or none of our core work is documented (it lives in heads)
We have no operational numbers (inefficiency is invisible)
The same problems keep coming back (root causes unaddressed)

Carry this snapshot into the assessment. The picture it paints is the problem the rest of this pathway turns into a repeatable, measured operating system.
