67%

Achieve goals despite system friction

Two-thirds of assessed organizations hit targets despite their systems, not because of them. Performance is maintained through individual heroics — unsustainable and unscalable.

Escalations are judgment failures

Across all industries, 4 in 10 escalations aren't authority limits — they're gaps in decision architecture. The person knew what to do. The system didn't let them.

Gap between top and bottom industries

The spread from GCC (14,200) to Energy (10,200) reflects different levels of deliberate capability investment — not talent quality.

How Scores Are Calculated

Scores are derived from the EXLPRS Organization Command Center simulation — a diagnostic that maps organizational decision patterns, capability architecture maturity, and judgment system strength across five dimensions: decision quality under ambiguity, capability transfer velocity, performance system sustainability, escalation architecture efficiency, and knowledge decay resistance.

All data is anonymized and aggregated. Individual organizations are never identified. Scores are updated quarterly as new assessment data becomes available. The "ft" unit represents organizational capability altitude — a proprietary metric correlated with sustained performance outcomes.
