Survey the site before you build.
Fifteen questions across five dimensions. You get a readiness stage, your weakest dimension with the first move to fix it, and the engagement that fits. Sometimes the right engagement is none yet, and the survey will say so.
- A readiness stage and a score for each of five dimensions
- The weakest dimension, with the first move to fix it
- A recommended next step you can disagree with, because the rule is printed
The survey.
Answer for the organization as it is today, not as you intend it to be next quarter. Each question offers four positions; pick the one that would still be true if a colleague checked. Nothing is sent anywhere, so there is no reason to flatter the sheet.
What this sheet is not.
A self-assessment, not an audit
Nobody from Soxoa looked at your systems, your data, or your contracts. Every number on the result sheet is arithmetic on the answers you chose. Two people in the same organization can score it differently, and that disagreement is usually the most useful thing it produces.
Not the written brief
Soxoa can also prepare a written implementation assessment from public information about your organization. That is a different artifact, prepared for you and delivered by email, and it is not scored from this survey. Request the written brief.
Not a scope, and not a price
The recommendation names the engagement that fits the profile you entered. It does not scope the work or commit anyone to anything. Scope and price are agreed before work begins, after a conversation.

Thirty minutes with John Arndt. Bring your weakest dimension and the workflow behind it. He will tell you what he would mark up, what he would leave alone, and whether Soxoa is the right fit.
