How well do you run work across suppliers, locations and AI agents?
The Orchestration Index scores your delivery organisation on ten areas and five levels, from ad hoc to compounding. Ten areas, about five minutes: in each row you pick the block that describes where you are today. Your result appears straight away, with no email asked.
A colleague invited you to compare results. Your answers stay private; your team sees only the spread once three of you have answered.

Your next step
A first defined work package, with an acceptance test and a stop point after it.
Your level and pattern
Where you stand from ad hoc to compounding, and which of seven delivery patterns your answers fit.
Your profile across ten areas
Grouped by four of the five pillars, each with the next level and a first move you can make without us.
Where value leaks
The handovers, from roadmap to run, where intent, context, ownership and momentum are most at risk.
One next step
The single step that fits your answers, a downloadable PDF roadmap if you want one, starting with where your delivery stands, and a link to compare with your team.
Ten areas, four pillars
The areas follow four of the five pillars of our Unified Management Model™: governance and transparency, intelligence, commercial and delivery. The fifth, value realisation, shows in your outcomes. Each one changes something on your map, so the picture is a reading of your answers.
Delivery
How work is briefed, delivered and accepted, across suppliers and locations.
- Work package definition
- Acceptance and qualitycritical
- Rhythm across suppliers and locations
Governance and transparency
Who decides, what you can see, and the rules for security, data and AI agents.
- Decision rights and visibilitycritical
- Security, data and regulatory control
- Human and AI agent authority
Commercial
How work is paid for, who carries the risk, and who owns what is built.
- Commercial model and risk
- Ownership and compounding
Intelligence
What your delivery remembers, measures and warns you about.
- Project memory and handover continuitycritical
- Measures and early warning
How the score works
Five levels, each a step up from the last. Behaviour, not opinion: every question asks what actually happened last time, because self-assessment flatters. People who felt faster with AI were measured slower.
0 to 19
1Ad hoc
Work is bought as time. Outcomes depend on individuals, and problems surface as complaints.
What you getWork gets done, as long as the right people are there.
20 to 39
2Defined
Briefs, contracts and reports exist, but they differ per supplier and nobody decides from them.
What you getYou can see what was agreed, and compare suppliers on paper.
40 to 59
3Managed
Common briefs, acceptance and measures across your main suppliers, and decisions have owners.
What you getFewer surprises: rework falls, and decisions stop waiting on you.
60 to 79
4Orchestrated
One rhythm, one view and one set of decision rights across every supplier, location and AI agent.
What you getAdd or swap a supplier, a location or an agent without losing pace.
80 to 100
5Compounding
Every package leaves the next one cheaper, faster or safer. Reuse, IP and agent autonomy grow on evidence.
What you getEach package costs less and lands faster than the last, and what you build becomes reusable.
In each row you pick one of five blocks, from ad hoc to compounding. Each block scores 0 to 4 and an area's score is the average times 25. The Index weights the areas: acceptance, decision rights and project memory 12% each; definition, rhythm and AI agents 10%; measures and commercial 9%; security and ownership 8%. Your overall level can be at most one above your weakest critical area. "Don't know" scores zero and is shown as a visibility gap. Weights are reasoned defaults, to be refitted once 200 answers are in.
What happens to your answers
Nothing you would not expect.
The benchmark is anonymous
With the box ticked, your answers are stored without name, email or IP address. Untick it and nothing is stored.
No invented peers
Peer comparison opens for a group at 30 answers, and no figure is ever built from fewer than 10. Until then you compare with the level descriptions.
Email only if you want the roadmap
Ask for the PDF roadmap and your details go to our CRM with your scores, so we can follow up once. Our privacy policy says how we use them.
Questions about the Index
How it works, who it is for, and what we do with your answers.
What is the Orchestration Index?
A free self-assessment of how well an organisation runs technology work across more than one supplier, more than one location, and people plus AI agents. It scores ten areas grouped into four of the five pillars of the Nessoris Unified Management Model™ (Governance and transparency, Intelligence, Commercial and Delivery; value realisation shows as an outcome) on five levels, from ad hoc to compounding.
How long does it take?
It takes about five minutes: ten areas, each with two rows of five blocks, and you pick the block that describes where you are today. You see your result straight away, without giving an email address. A PDF roadmap is optional and needs your email.
How is the score calculated?
Each answer scores 0 to 4, and an area’s score is the average times 25, from 0 to 100. The overall score weights the ten areas. Your overall level can be at most one level above your weakest critical area (acceptance, decision rights and project memory), because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. “Don’t know” scores zero and is shown as a visibility gap.
Who is it for?
Two groups. Companies (CIOs, CTOs, COOs and heads of delivery) that work with several technology suppliers, often in several locations. And consultancies and systems integrators that want delivery they can put their name on; they get a second panel on delivering under their own name.
What happens to my answers?
If you leave the box ticked, your answers are stored without your name, email or IP address to build a peer benchmark. Peer comparison opens for a group once 30 people in it have answered, and no figure is ever shown for fewer than 10. Contact details are stored only if you ask for the report, and then only in our CRM.
Is there a benchmark?
Not yet, and we will not invent one. Until a group reaches 30 answers, results compare you with illustrative model profiles, labelled as such. The live counter on the page shows how close each group is.
Is it a sales tool?
It recommends one next step that fits your answers, and it can be one we do not sell. Every area also gives a first move you can make without us.
