TAD Delivery Intelligence
A structured, repeatable diagnostic system for engineering delivery — not coaching, not opinions, not frameworks. A system that tells you what's broken and why.
The Six Dimensions
Each dimension is scored 1–5. Total score range: 6–30.
Measures average cycle time and consistency. Slow or unpredictable cycle time is the primary signal of hidden wait states, queues, and handoff bottlenecks.
Evaluates WIP limit enforcement and unplanned work percentage. High WIP without limits is the single most common root cause of throughput degradation.
Measures weekly delivery stability. Erratic throughput makes forecasting impossible and erodes stakeholder trust over time.
Assesses how well the team controls what enters the system. High reactive work volume is a structural intake failure — not a prioritization problem.
Evaluates structural indicators: handoff patterns, centralized functions, ad-hoc processes. Structure determines the ceiling on all other improvements.
Measures whether the team has the measurement infrastructure to see what's happening. You cannot fix what you cannot see.
Maturity Bands
Four bands. Each has specific structural characteristics and recommended interventions.
Strong discipline across all dimensions. Optimization and measurement refinement are the priorities.
Delivery works but has exploitable weaknesses. Targeted fixes will yield measurable improvement in 30–60 days.
Structural problems actively degrading throughput. These are system design issues, not people issues.
Reliable delivery is structurally impossible. Requires a reset — not a tune-up.
