Axiom Advisory
How it runs

From the first conversation to commitments with names on them.

1

Scope

We agree with the executive team which units to assess.

2

Respond

Staff answer 55 questions on their phones and show proof in practice for each answer. The questions are not shared in advance, so the answers show how the institution works, not how well it prepared.

3

Agree

A facilitated session turns individual scores into one agreed score for each unit, with the disagreements discussed openly.

4

Report

We write a full report and a one-page action map.

5

Debrief

The executive team walks through the findings and agrees its first eight-week commitments.

The scale

Every answer is backed by proof in practice.

Each statement is scored from 0 to 5, and the respondent names what can be shown behind the score: a decision that was taken, a budget that moved, a promise that was kept. A document or photograph can be attached from a phone.

The bands

Five bands, each one a description.

The band boundaries sit on the scale itself, so each band describes how the institution works today. None of them is a verdict. Select a band.

What you receive

A starting point and an order of work.

The full report

Shows which pillar is holding the others back and why, for the institution as a whole and for each unit, with the disagreements that matter set out plainly.

The one-page action map

Sets out the commitments for the next eight weeks and who owns each one. Run the Index again and the board sees how far each pillar has moved.

Ways to begin

Three ways in.

Pulse Check

Free

Fifteen questions for any leader who wants a first view of where the institution stands.

Index Licence

By proposal

For institutions that reassess once, twice or four times a year, so the board can see each pillar move over time.

Ask about the licence

Public bodies can also request a short reading prepared from their own published documents, at no cost.

Clarity is how institutions earn trust.
