Know Where You Stand.
Most institutional pressure does not arrive as a single crisis. It accumulates — quietly, across multiple domains — until something breaks. The Bearing surfaces what is most pressing, assesses how acute it is, and points you toward the right next step.
Twelve domains. Seven dimensions. Fewer than fifteen minutes. The result is a triage read across your full leadership and governance landscape — and your initial Mission Readiness Index score.
Confidential. Your results are sent to you and reviewed by Jamie before any conversation.
The state of detection is not the state of decay. The most valuable finding is the condition that has not yet become a crisis.The Leader's Guide
What The Bearing Assesses
Funding, Governance
& Leadership Succession
The structural and financial foundations. Revenue sustainability, board function, the board-executive relationship, and the succession question too many institutions defer.
People, Decisions
& Mission Integrity
The human and directional layer. Key person burnout and flight risk, the personnel decision that won't move, reputational exposure, and mission drift under pressure.
Transformation, Culture
& The Leader's Own Chapter
The deeper and longer questions. Strategic inflection, internal culture fracture, external threats without a playbook, and the vocational questions leaders carry alone.
Each domain is assessed across seven dimensions: Gravity, Velocity, Pervasiveness, Presence, Preparedness, and Proactivity. Together, these 84 data points produce a triage read and your MRI-Alpha score.

Your Triage Picture
Your triage picture is below — yours to read and keep. If you would like Jamie to review your picture and share a brief personal read, select below.
Leadership and governance readiness only — drawn from the twelve domains where institutional pressure most commonly surfaces.
This index reflects a structured self-assessment. Self-assessments of this kind tend to underreport conditions that carry reputational risk and overreport readiness in domains where the leader has invested personal effort. If your picture feels more settled than your instincts suggest, trust the instincts. The score is a starting point for conversation, not a clinical measurement.
