Every process your company runs, graded. The criteria, public.

A scale nobody can inspect gets read as arbitrary. myvue's is published — a P3 means the same thing in operations as it does in finance, every grade traces to observed moments, and the grade maintains itself without asking your people to do more work.

What earns each grade.

P1

Sound and current. Documented from evidence, confirmed fresh within 28 days, three or more qualified operators, no observed drift.

P2

Sound. Minor drift or a single documentation gap. No action required this quarter.

P3

Watch. Two or more qualified operators but material drift — or a current record carrying concentration risk.

P4

At risk. A single keeper, or documentation that has materially diverged from how the work is done.

P5

Critical exposure. Single keeper, undocumented or stale, and business-critical.

Your documentation says one thing.The work does something else.

The grade measures the distance between them — from observed runs, not interviews.

0% drift. The documented process is current and correct. It is not the process being run. In an incident review, the record will not describe what happened.

Every process the unit runs.Not a sample.

Not the ones someone remembered to write down. Everything observation surfaced — each square is one process, colored by grade.

Each square is one process. The grade carries its evidence with it.

Five measurements.One grade.

drift

The share of observed runs that diverge materially from the documented path — a difference in sequence, decision outcome, system used, or approval path. Not a cosmetic difference in timing or tooling.

concentration

The number of people seen running the process independently and completely. Someone who has only run it with help, or only run part of it, is not counted. One qualified operator is a single keeper.

variance

Divergence between operators of the same process. Divergence at a decision point is a control finding, not a continuity one, and the grade reports it as such.

decay

Time since the record was last confirmed by behavior. A process unconfirmed for 28 days is aging; at 42 days it is stale and out of the count. Fresh behavior resets it — this is what makes the grade recurring rather than one-time.

criticality — set by you

What happens to the business if the process fails. myvue proposes a tier from observable signal — frequency, systems touched, downstream dependency depth, exception rate, proximity to revenue and compliance systems. You adjust it, and your judgment governs. myvue can see how your business operates. It cannot see what matters to it.

Documentation decays.The grade says so, on its own.

Nobody schedules a review. Fresh behavior confirms the record and the grade holds. When behavior stops confirming it, the grade falls — automatically.

One letter for the whole unit.

Each process is weighted by how much it matters. The grade is the share of the unit sitting at P4 or P5, carried A through F. The plus or minus comes from which way the Concentration Index moved since last quarter.

The Concentration Index is the share of your critical processes resting on a single keeper. It is the number most organizations end up watching, because it decides whether the company owns its processes — or the other way around.

The thresholds are reviewed against real outcomes. When one changes between your statements, the prior quarter is restated under the new rules and both are shown — a grade that moved because the ruler changed is worse than no grade.

The first things people ask.

What is a process grade?

A single rating, P1 through P5, for the health of one business process. It is computed from five dimensions — drift, concentration, variance, decay, and criticality — each measured from observed evidence of how the work is actually done, not from what the documentation claims.

How does a process earn P1?

Documented from evidence, confirmed fresh within 28 days, three or more qualified operators, and no observed drift between the record and how the work is done.

What is the Concentration Index?

The share of your critical processes with fewer than two qualified operators — processes resting on a single keeper. It is the number most organizations end up watching.

Does grading ask my team to do more work?

No. The grade is computed from observed behavior. Nobody fills out a questionnaire, attends a mapping workshop, or maintains a spreadsheet. People only confirm what myvue found, in minutes, where something needs correcting.
