ERI - Sacred Strategy Standard™

  • ERI - Sacred Strategy Standard™

    Enterprise Regimen Index™ (ERI)

  • Purpose

    The Enterprise Regimen Index™ (ERI) is a structured diagnostic designed to assess the operational maturity of a business or initiative within the Sacred Strategy Standard™ framework. Its purpose is to identify your current operating altitude and highlight the structural areas that require focused attention over the next 90 days.

    This diagnostic is not intended to evaluate personality, talent, or personal capability.
    It is not a measure of worth.

    The ERI evaluates the structural readiness of the enterprise itself — including clarity of strategy, operational discipline, financial awareness, and institutional preparedness.

    By examining these domains, the ERI provides a clear snapshot of where structure is strong, where gaps exist, and where disciplined focus will produce the greatest progress.

    Instructions

    Please evaluate each statement using the following scale:

    1 — Not Established
    2 — Early / Inconsistent
    3 — Developing / Informal
    4 — Structured / Active
    5 — Fully Implemented / Operationalized

    When responding, select the option that most accurately reflects the current state of your business. Where possible, consider whether the structure referenced in the statement exists in a documented and repeatable form, not simply as an intention or informal practice.

    Please respond to every question in this assessment.


    The Enterprise Regimen Index™ relies on complete responses to generate an accurate readiness score. Skipping questions will affect the integrity of your results.
