Oversight Exposure Assessment

Measure your organization's vulnerability to narrative drift and the "hidden cost" of reactive oversight cycles.

Diagnostic Time: 60 Seconds
1. If an IG inquiry arrived today regarding a 3-year-old obligation, how long would it take to reconstruct the contemporaneous rationale? ℹConsider time spent searching fragmented emails, staff rotations, and system archives.
2. Are decision-time tradeoffs and mission-urgency factors documented and preserved in a central, leadership-ready format? ℹStandard contract files often lack the "why" and "tradeoff" context needed for testimony.
3. Does your leadership team have immediate access to organized reference context for multi-year obligations? ℹLack of access leads to inconsistent explanations, which can expand oversight scope.
4. How often are senior finance, legal, or program staff diverted from mission execution to staff ad hoc response teams? ℹThis "hidden cost" consumes leadership calendars and disrupts primary agency duties.
5. In leadership transitions, do incoming executives inherit documented decision context for existing major programs? ℹTransition gaps often leave new leaders to answer for predecessors without adequate context.
