Operations Scoring

* Overview

This Operations Scoring method provides a holistic assessment of business performance using a 1,000-point scale distributed across five key performance dimensions. Each dimension integrates financial metrics, operational indicators, and strategic alignment factors to view organizational health comprehensively. We recommend processing the scoring every quarter and, if possible, monthly.
