Assessment
Three ways to find out where you stand
One reads your plant, one screens a project you are about to green-light, and one asks you to go and count what is really there. They answer different questions — start with whichever matches the decision in front of you.

The Golden Roof Test
Before you green-light a dashboard, a sensor rollout, an AI pilot or a digital twin, hold it up against seven statements. They tell you whether you are strengthening the foundation or adding another tile to the roof.

The Handshake Audit
Not a quiz — a worksheet. Walk one production line end to end and list every place data crosses from one system to another. You come away holding a map of your own line, and your own Fragmentation Tax in your own numbers.
