Rate each dimension
How healthy is your codebase & engineering org?
For each dimension, rate current state from 1 (critical — actively hurting delivery) to 5 (excellent — a non-issue). Go with your gut; this is a self-assessment, not an audit.

⚠ Important disclaimer

This is a self-assessment, not an audit. Scores are based on your own perception of each dimension, adapted from published rubrics (McKinsey Tech Debt Score, Code Climate maintainability model). We have no access to your codebase or metrics tooling — nothing here constitutes a technical audit.

Use this to frame an internal conversation about where to look first, not as a precise diagnostic. Pair it with the Cost Calculator for a dollar figure, or the Velocity tool if you're already tracking sprint data.
