Methodology

How your Staffing Operations Health Check works

Understand what we measure, how your answers are scored, and how to use the results to identify practical opportunities for improvement.

This is a directional self-assessment—not a validated industry benchmark, causal measure, peer ranking or guaranteed outcome.

12 questions across three weighted categories

The review has 12 questions, grouped evenly across these three areas. Each category contributes the percentage shown to the overall score.

Each category uses its own question weights; category scores are not simple averages. Weights for unscored answers are excluded, and the remaining weights are renormalized over scored answers in that category.

How answers become scores

The five scored options map to 100, 75, 50, 25 and 0. Answers are weighted within their category. An overall score is available only when all three categories have valid scores; those category scores are then combined using the overall weights above.

What happens if I select “Not sure”?

“Not sure” is not zero and does not count as a scored answer. At least three of the four answers in each category must be scored for that category result to be available. All three valid category scores are needed for an overall result.

How to read the score bands

• 85–100: Strong foundation
• 70 to <85: Well positioned
• 50 to <70: Improvement opportunity
• 0 to <50: High operational friction

Bands are assigned from the full-precision score. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number for display; the displayed rounded value does not determine the band.

A category below 40 receives a separate review alert, even if the overall score is higher. This is an internal design heuristic, not a validated risk prediction.

Interpretation and limitations

ATS use and secure client logins are not inherently negative. The review focuses on effort, access, corrections, verification, portability and continuity when systems change.

Calculator assumptions

Annual administrative hours = weekly timesheets × administrative minutes per timesheet × active weeks ÷ 60. Annual labor-capacity value = annual administrative hours × loaded hourly cost.

Example only: 75 timesheets per week × 8 minutes × 52 active weeks ÷ 60 = 520 hours per year. At a $35 loaded hourly cost, that is $18,200 in annual labor-capacity value. Hypothetical 25%, 50% and 75% reductions represent $4,550, $9,100 and $13,650 in capacity value, respectively.

These are hypothetical capacity values, not guaranteed savings, automatic payroll cash reductions or a forecast of cash savings. Billing delays are not monetized.

Privacy and data use

Assessment answers and results are stored in this browser for up to seven days after the last saved change. Use “Clear saved responses” or “Start a new health check” to remove the saved draft. Personal scores are not put in public URL parameters, and you do not need to submit contact information to view results.

The optional report-marketing checkbox is separate and unchecked by default. On the production Lead Magnet site, Google Analytics 4 pageviews use the stream’s automatic browser-history tracking; custom events record only assessment start/completion, calculator use, and signup/demo CTA clicks. No names, emails, contact details, free-text responses, raw assessment answers, or calculator inputs are included in custom events. Analytics load only after separate analytics consent and are disabled in development and preview. Do not include personal information in assessment answers.

Production report requests are disabled. No report request will be accepted, stored or emailed while requests are disabled.
