Dashboards

The diagnostic instruments from Thriving in Turbulence — built to be used on a Monday morning, not studied in advance.

Most transformation diagnostics measure what has already gone wrong. ThroughFlow and Human Pulse detect turbulence 2–6 weeks before traditional metrics show degradation — creating an intervention window before the damage compounds.

The tools below are the practical instruments from Thriving in Turbulence. Each is built to be used on a Monday morning, not studied in advance.

Appendix A5 · B3 · Weekly · 15 min
Signal Dashboard
Track ThroughFlow and Human Pulse week by week. Enter values each Friday and the dashboard colour-codes your status zone, surfaces divergence patterns, and plots your trend line automatically. Printable for the wall or saveable as PDF.
Interactive · Print-ready Open tool
2–4 wks ThroughFlow lead time over traditional metrics
4–6 wks Human Pulse lead time over visible performance decline
15 min Weekly tracking investment to maintain signal discipline
Appendix A1
5-Minute Entry Diagnostic
Confirm whether turbulence exists before committing to a full diagnostic. Three questions, one clear answer. Run before any retrospective or planning session.
Single use · 5 min Open tool
Appendix A2
Pattern Recognition Table
The complete three-column version. Match observable symptoms to the five CIRCA conditions. The foundation of every 25-minute team diagnostic.

Appendix C1–C5
Intervention Playbooks
One playbook per CLEAR lever. Protocol, common mistakes, and calibration signals for each condition. Pick your condition and execute on Monday.
Per condition · Reference Open tool

Appendix A4
Experiment Template
One-page scientific method for every intervention. Hypothesis, signals, success criteria, rollback trigger. Document before you act, not after.

How the toolkit fits together
01
Confirm turbulence exists
Run the Entry Diagnostic (A1). Five minutes. If turbulence is present, proceed to identification. If not, establish signal baseline and monitor.
Available now
02
Identify the condition
Use the Pattern Recognition Table (A2) in a 25-minute team session. Match symptoms to one of the five CIRCA conditions.
Available now
03
Design one intervention
Select the matched CLEAR lever from the Playbooks (C1–C5). Document your hypothesis in the Experiment Template (A4) before acting.
Available now
04
Track and decide
Monitor ThroughFlow and Human Pulse weekly on the Signal Dashboard. At two weeks: keep, adjust, or reverse. Document the outcome in the Pattern Library (B4).

These tools are the practical instruments of the CIRCA-CLEAR framework, drawn from the appendices of Thriving in Turbulence. The book provides the diagnostic depth — conditions, combinations, intervention sequencing — that makes the tools work. If you are using the toolkit without the book, start with Part II.
