Class S
Statutory
blockscoreval: +1
Absent or worse blocks. Hard regulatory floor.
How we listen
Scoring here is how we listen, not how we judge. You describe what your everyday practice looks like; we summarise where it stands and what is most worth attention next.
The score is a short profile of your practice across a small number of areas. It can show where a practice is doing measurable harm; it can show where a practice is established and reliable. It is not a single number you carry around.
A few items in the model are blockers — they need to be addressed before any higher claim makes sense. The self-score surfaces them gently, in everyday terms, so you can see what to look at first without needing the rule-set.
Comparisons only mean something between hives of similar shape. The model carries the shape with every result so a number from a small contained hive is never quietly compared to one from a regulated multi-vendor hive.
A handful of quiet rules keep the model honest: claims must come with the shape they were measured in, comparisons must come with their cohort, and the result lists what was uncertain along with what was confident.
Self-score
Below are short observations from everyday work. Pick the one closest to what you usually see. "Not sure" is a real answer here — it lowers our confidence rather than your score.
How far along
You can stop at any prompt. Nothing is sent until you say so.
This is a short read of your practice in plain language. None of these are verdicts; they are starting points for a conversation, including a conversation with us.

A small next step
A technical view of this Profile is available below. The path-engine produces structured outputs (item-codes, signed scores from minus-three to plus-five, blocker classes S/M/A, weakest-dimension and Confidence-Factor letter-codes); the rendered Profile JSON will arrive once the backend endpoint is wired.
{ "profile_pending": true, "engine": "self-score-walkthrough", "answers": [] } | Score | Meaning | Evidence implication |
|---|---|---|
-3 | Severe active harm | Documented adverse outcome attributable to practice gap. |
-2 | Active harm | Measurable degradation; remediation required. |
-1 | Mild active harm | Triggers a Class-A blocker review. |
0 | Absence | Practice missing, not actively harming. |
+1 | Initial | Practice exists but ad-hoc. |
+2 | Repeatable | Two or more cycles of evidence retained. |
+3 | Defined | Standardised across the hive. |
+4 | Managed | Quantitatively managed with telemetry. |
+5 | Optimising / exemplar | Continuous-improvement evidence; cited as reference. |
Class S
Statutory
blockscoreval: +1
Absent or worse blocks. Hard regulatory floor.
Class M
Maintenance
blockscoreval: 0
Regression blocks. Drift below baseline triggers a block.
Class A
Active-harm
blockscoreval: -1
Only active-harm blocks. Evidence of measurable damage required.
Cohort-A
Tier A
Criterion: Exact type-set + exact axis-vector match (incl. quorum_size bucket)
Citability: Citable as a HiveCraft level rating.
Cohort-B
Tier B
Criterion: Type-set superset + non-conflicting axis-flag match
Citability: Marked non-citable cross-shape.
Cohort-C
Tier C
Criterion: Matching primary-type only; axis-flags may differ
Citability: Marked non-citable cross-shape.
