A 7-day diagnostic that surfaces the gap between what leadership thinks is happening and what is actually happening across your organization. For $597.
Book Your Snapshot — $597By the time a status report reaches leadership, several things in flight have already changed. At least one project is blocked by something the deck does not mention.
Two leaders have given contradicting direction this week without realizing it. The team is absorbing the conflict silently. You are not aware it happened.
Your most senior IC knows which queue will fail first. They are not being asked. The gap between their reality and your dashboard is where risk lives.
This persists in PMOs, VMOs, and SAFe organizations. The structures that generate status were designed to roll reality up, not surface it accurately.
A 20-minute structured survey across 3 of our 6 operational domains: Decision Rights, Cross-Functional Coordination, and Visibility and Reporting. Completed asynchronously on your schedule.
3 to 5 of your direct reports or ICs answer the same questions independently. Their responses remain anonymous. You see the gap pattern, not individual answers.
A 10 to 12 page PDF delivered within 7 days of all survey submissions, plus a 30-minute live findings call to walk through your specific gap pattern and recommended next steps.
Designed for COOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Delivery, and founders running organizations of 25 to 200 people in B2B SaaS, tech-enabled services, professional services, and digital agencies.

When a client hires Criterion Partners, they get one point of contact, one contract, and one firm standing behind the outcome, with the right expertise assembled specifically for their problem. We are not a staffing agency, a freelancer marketplace, or a large firm with a deep bench of junior analysts. We are a curated coalition of senior practitioners. The client hires the firm. The firm brings the right people.
Criterion Partners was founded by a senior agile delivery practitioner and certified scrum master with a track record spanning multiple organizations, product lines, and team structures, including shared services teams, cross-functional delivery squads, and embedded platform teams across food and beverage, home improvement, and financial services.
That breadth is deliberate. The patterns that reveal where organizations break down, where authority drifts, where handoffs fail, where leadership loses signal, do not change much across industries. Recognizing them does.
The founder holds an MBA and is currently completing doctoral work in business. The firm was built to operationalize what that experience makes visible.
Senior expertise across every discipline.
Every advisor at Criterion Partners is a practitioner, not a theorist. They have operated at senior levels inside organizations like yours and bring that experience directly to bear on your problem. They work independently by choice, and they collaborate under this firm by standard.
The coalition grows intentionally. Every advisor who joins is hand-selected based on domain expertise, professional track record, and commitment to the firm's standard. We do not add advisors to fill seats. We add them to solve specific problems better. Our current focus is the technology sector, with additional verticals in development.
The survey is completed asynchronously over 4 days. No scheduling required. If you cannot secure 3 IC responses in that window, the engagement is not viable at this time and you receive a full refund.
Engagement surveys measure how people feel about the organization. The Snapshot measures whether leadership and the team see operational reality the same way. The disagreement itself is the diagnostic. That is not what engagement surveys are designed to surface.
Yes. Individual IC responses are aggregated into a median score per question. Leadership sees the gap pattern, not individual answers. This is what allows honest responses.
The Snapshot covers the 3 highest-signal domains. The full Delivery Health Assessment covers all 6 with deeper methodology including process observation, documentation review, and root cause analysis. Snapshot buyers receive a $597 credit toward a DHA.
Full refund within 48 hours of purchase, no questions asked. After Day 2, refunds are issued if delivery is delayed by Criterion Partners past 7 days of survey completion for any reason on our end.
Yes. The buyer does not need to be the leader being assessed. The leader does need to actively participate in the survey process for the diagnostic to be valid.
You have three options: use the report internally to drive your own next conversations, commission a follow-up Snapshot in 90 days to measure change, or engage a full Delivery Health Assessment to close the gaps systematically. There is no pressure. The report stands on its own.
