Alignment Score
Why it matters
Unlike lagging indicators (revenue, market share), alignment score provides real-time signal on whether the organisation is drifting before outcomes reveal the damage. It answers the question: "Is what we're doing connected to what we said matters?"
How Stratafy addresses this
Stratafy's alignment suite quantifies execution-intent match across five directions in real time, providing a leading indicator of strategic health rather than a lagging audit discovered at quarterly reviews.
Five-directional scoring
Alignment is measured across five distinct lenses: internal (foundation to strategy), coherence (strategy to strategy), radar (environment to strategy), public presence (strategy to external perception), and organisational (strategy to people and structure). Each direction catches a different failure mode.
Real-time leading indicator
Alignment scores update continuously as strategy changes, signals arrive, and execution data flows back. This is a leading metric — it shows drift forming, not drift that has already caused damage. Traditional alignment checks happen quarterly; Stratafy measures continuously.
Named misalignment types
Six specific failure patterns are identified: orphaned initiatives, broken traceability, foundation drift, metric misalignment, resource mismatch, and organisational misfit. Each type has a defined detection method and recommended remediation — making alignment actionable, not abstract.
AI-triggered alignment scans
AI agents trigger scans directly via MCP: run_alignment_foundation_scan, run_alignment_coherence_scan, or run_alignment_suite for all lenses in parallel. Results include per-element health scores and severity-rated recommendations — enabling autonomous alignment monitoring within the trust spectrum.
