Stage 01 · the entry point
Start by knowing which issues matter most
The Company Performance Health Scan™ — powered by APCG's 256 Performance Archetype Engine. At no charge, about fifteen minutes, and the foundation every good AI decision downstream is built on.
What you get, and what comes next
Find the issues that matter. Then the ideas follow.
The scan carries no charge because the diagnosis is the part everyone skips, and everything good downstream depends on it. Knowing which issues carry the most value at stake is what makes an AI quick win worth building rather than worth demonstrating.
When you want the ideas themselves — matched to your result, and informed by what has worked for companies in a comparable position — that is the AI Priority Alignment Session.
No charge · about fifteen minutes
What the scan gives you
- Your business scored across four performance layers, 26 levers and roughly 110 initiatives
- Your Performance Health Type — one of 256 archetypes — with the symptoms that type usually presents
- The few levers where focused effort would pay back fastest
- For a leadership team, a map of where your executives agree and where they materially diverge
- All of it anonymous by design — the condition for candour
The next step
What the AI Priority Alignment Session adds
- The AI and digital quick wins matched to the specific issues your scan surfaced
- What has actually worked for companies in a comparable position — and what has not
- A working session with your leadership team, not a document
- Each candidate tested against three gates before it earns any investment
- One priority agreed, with an owner, a business KPI and a scope — the AI Priority Charter
What sits behind it
A complete system. A short list.
Four layers frame how a business creates and captures value: what you choose, how you grow, how you run, and how you fund. The scan assesses all four, then narrows attention to the few levers where focused effort pays back fastest.
This is the same architecture used across APCG's full performance practice — it is not an AI-readiness questionnaire wearing a business costume.
- Choose5 levers
Strategic scope, portfolio, proposition, pricing, and value capture.
- Grow8 levers
Revenue engine, brand, demand generation, sales, retention, innovation, and new business models.
- Run9 levers
Operating efficiency, productivity, technology, sourcing, supply chain, organisation, workforce, and risk.
- Fund4 levers
Working capital, asset productivity, capital structure, treasury, tax, and incentives.

Candid by design
The disagreement is the finding
Leadership diagnostics are anonymous by design. Executives say what they really see — hidden concerns, unspoken disagreements, execution barriers — without the pressure of attribution.
Findings are synthesised into aggregate patterns, priority themes and a leadership divergence map — a prioritised view of where leadership attention should go first.
Divergence is the most valuable output. When the CFO and the COO privately disagree about what is holding the business back, that gap is the real finding, and it is the one that never emerges in a normal management meeting.
What you receive
Your Performance Health Report, by email
Your Performance Health Type
Which of the 256 archetypes your business presents as, and the symptoms that type typically shows.
Your priority levers
The few levers, out of 26, where focused effort would pay back fastest given your current situation.
Where this goes next
Where each finding leads, and what the AI Priority Alignment Session adds when your leadership team is ready to choose — starting with the AI and digital quick wins matched to your result.
Reports are limited to two per email address per rolling 30 days. The limit exists for accuracy, not scarcity — retaking the scan repeatedly in a short window produces a reading of your mood rather than of the business.
Know your priority levers by this afternoon
The Company Performance Health Scan™ takes about fifteen minutes and carries no charge. What you do about the findings is the next conversation.
