About this template

Projects fail on mismatched working styles long before deliverables slip. This assessment scores fit on four weighted axes — Values Alignment (mission, purpose, salary trade-offs), Work Style (autonomy versus structure, pace, single-tasking), Environment Preference and Team Interaction — sixteen 1–5 statements, then adds the practical specifics that collide in real engagements: how decisions are made on the other side, how direct feedback is expected to be, and a written account of a past engagement where styles clashed. Each run returns an AI PDF fit report naming the friction zones to negotiate before signature rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this about likeability?
No — it scores structural fit: pace, channels, decision rights. Like teams with bad fit still collide; the report shows where.
Should both organizations really answer?
That is the intended mechanic — each side completes a copy, and the gap between the two reports is the negotiation agenda.
When in the deal should it run?
After scope agreement, before signature — it changes working rules, not commercials.
What do we get once both sides have answered?
Axis-by-axis alignment scores with the named friction zones and suggested bridge norms.
Can fit be fixed after kickoff?
Partly — which is why friction zones are negotiated into the working agreement up front rather than discovered in month three.
Is it free per deal?
Yes — duplicate a free pair per prospective engagement; both sides answer separately and both reports arrive.
