Choose answers based on evidence

Mark a foundation ready when you can explain how it will work and show the supporting information. If a necessary decision or resource is missing, record the gap as it stands today.

What the recommendation means

The assessment highlights unresolved foundations; it does not average a critical blocker away because other areas look strong. A ready result means you can scope the next stage. If the result suggests waiting, identify the smallest practical action that resolves the blocker.

Turn the result into a short action plan

Export your answers and add evidence, an owner and a next action for each unresolved item. For example, “digital delivery ready” should mean a test buyer can access the correct files after the intended payment status.

Use the result with evidence

Use your current situation, keep the exported action list and revisit it when the underlying evidence changes. No account or email is required.
