Leave with a next step.
Choose one situation
Assess a specific decision, use case, programme or proposed role. A clear scope makes the discussion useful.
Compare what is known
Complete the tool with the relevant participants. Distinguish evidence from assumptions and record unknown answers.
Assign the follow-up
Agree the decision or action required, its owner and a review date. Use scores as discussion prompts rather than assurances.
These resources support discussion and preparation. They do not replace an assessment, specialist advice or the organisation’s own approval processes.
What needs to move forward?
If a resource highlights an unresolved issue, Colibri can help define the next piece of work.
