LODESTONE ANALYTICS

Score your operational control.

Thirteen control dimensions, scored 0 to 3, about 10 minutes. It turns “our reporting could be better” into a ranked list of gaps, and tells you which model should lead. The scoring runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.

0 not present1 ad hoc2 partial or inconsistent3 present and disciplinedBe honest. The gaps are the value.

Daily truth

3 = One daily view used to run the day. 0–1 = Monthly reporting only.

KPI definitions

3 = One agreed definition set. 0–1 = Debates about what metrics mean.

Bottleneck clarity

3 = Constraint known, measured, managed. 0–1 = “We think it’s line 2”.

Downtime truth

3 = Logged, categorised, Pareto-ranked. 0–1 = Downtime is anecdotal.

Quality loss truth

3 = Scrap and rework tracked and costed. 0–1 = Quality discussed, not quantified.

Unit economics

3 = True cost and margin per SKU or service. 0–1 = Costs are estimates.

Customer economics

3 = Cost-to-serve and margin by customer. 0–1 = Revenue clear, profitability not.

Delivery reliability

3 = OTIF tracked with root causes. 0–1 = Only complaints signal failure.

Forecast discipline

3 = Rolling, driver-based forecast. 0–1 = Static budget, already outdated.

Management cadence

3 = Weekly pack with actions owned. 0–1 = Meetings without closure.

Data refresh

3 = Repeatable refresh pipeline. 0–1 = Manual copy-paste, error-prone.

Governance

3 = Versioning, change log and testing. 0–1 = “Not sure which file is latest”.

ROI tracking

3 = Initiatives tracked to dollars. 0–1 = Improvements never monetised.

Illustrative only. The leakage range is a stated-assumption band applied to the revenue you enter. It is not a forecast, a measurement or a guarantee, and not financial advice. Actual value depends on your data and the actions you take. A score at or below 19 usually signals immediate ROI potential; 20–29 means partial control with targeted gaps; 30 and above is strong, and the value shifts to governance and reporting credibility.

A worked example.

Illustrative single-site manufacturer. Thirteen out of 39, with AU$290,000 a year attached to the red lines, against a AU$7,500 Control Room.
