FRAMEWORKS
Named methodologies. Public rubrics.
The scoring rubrics we use across Human Renaissance engagements, published so teams can run the same operating checks before the work starts.
FRAMEWORK CATALOG
The rubrics, the steps, the calibration.
Each framework is a public methodology with a private calibration set. Run it yourself or run it with us; the score reads the same either way.
FRAMEWORK · HUMAN RENAISSANCE
The EBITDA-DevOps Bridge
A methodology for converting technical-debt categories into dollar EBITDA impact and exit-multiple turns.
FRAMEWORK · HUMAN RENAISSANCE
The Founder Extraction Index
A 12-dimension diagnostic scoring how dependent a tech middle-market firm is on its founder-CEO.
FRAMEWORK · HUMAN RENAISSANCE
The 100-Day Integration Velocity Score
A composite metric for post-close tech integration tracking, refreshed quarterly against an aggregated cohort of Human Renaissance engagements.
A named framework is the price of admission. The discipline is in the calibration data behind it.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
One operating standard, three named instruments.
Frameworks are the named instruments. Diagnostics are the moments we run them. Decision guides are the operating calls that follow. Together they form one operating standard the management team can inspect.
- 01
Score against the rubric
Each framework ships with a defined scoring sequence. The score is useful only when it changes the next operating move.
- 02
Place the score on the band
Bands map score ranges to operating posture. Healthy, watch, intervention, crisis. Each band names what should change next.
- 03
Translate to operating moves
The framework hands the operating call to the decision guide. The decision guide hands the work to the service line. The service line turns the call into action.
DECISION GUIDES
Where the frameworks become operating calls.
Each decision guide pairs a framework score with the call to make next. Use them when the trigger is real and the next move has to be defended in the boardroom.
