Team Audit

A structured evaluation of how a defined team functions in reality — measuring coordination, accountability, leadership flow, and execution reliability beyond individual performance.

Why Organizations Conduct Team Audits

Teams often appear functional on the surface while silently underperforming beneath it. Ownership gaps, leadership ambiguity, and dependency failures rarely surface in individual reviews.

The Team Audit exists to expose these hidden execution risks before they turn into delivery failures or attrition.

This Audit Helps Answer

  • Does the team operate as a cohesive unit or as isolated contributors?
  • Are responsibilities clearly owned and consistently executed?
  • Is leadership present, effective, and respected?
  • Do role mismatches exist within the team structure?
  • Can the team scale with increasing complexity and expectations?

Who This Is Typically For

Team Evaluation Dimensions

  • Role clarity and accountability ownership
  • Inter-member dependencies and collaboration health
  • Decision-making flow and authority clarity
  • Communication effectiveness
  • Conflict handling and resolution maturity
  • Leadership presence and influence
  • Execution discipline and reliability
  • Alignment with organizational direction

Team Capability Score Overview

Team Audits produce a composite capability score that reflects how the team functions as a system — not the average strength of its members.

Scores are based on observed execution patterns, decision flow, and dependency structures across the team.

  • Collective Execution Score — ability to deliver outcomes together
  • Dependency Risk Index — concentration of knowledge, authority, or effort
  • Leadership Load Signal — stress on formal or informal leaders
  • Coordination & Flow Health — clarity of ownership and handoffs
  • Scalability Readiness — ability to absorb complexity without breakdown

Team scores highlight structural risk and resilience — not individual performance rankings.

Audit Structure

The Team Audit follows a fixed structure to ensure consistency and comparability.

Team Size: Fixed at 6 members

Interaction Model: Individual interviews with team-context analysis

Assessment Focus: Individual contribution vs collective execution

Customization: Based on team function and role composition

Audit Methodology

  • Pre-audit understanding of team objectives and structure
  • Customized evaluation scenarios mapped to team roles
  • Independent interviews conducted confidentially
  • Cross-analysis of responses and observed patterns
  • Scoring using internal team-performance frameworks

Deliverables

Audit findings remain valid for 6 months.

How Team Scores Are Interpreted

Team Audit scores are intended to support leadership decisions about structure, resourcing, and execution risk — not performance appraisal.

Engagement & Conduct Guidelines

  • Team size is fixed at six members; variations can be discussed separately.
  • Travel, accommodation, food, and local transport for on-site audits are borne by the client.
  • Auditors do not disclose personal or professional background details.
  • Participants are expected to cooperate honestly and professionally.
  • Findings may influence restructuring, leadership changes, or role adjustments.

Detailed scoring mechanics, dependency models, and evaluator calibration frameworks are maintained as internal audit appendices and are not distributed as part of standard client deliverables.
