Will your housing improvement plan actually work?
10 questions to test the thinking behind your plan. Even if it’s only in your head.
This doesn’t test whether you’re a good manager, or how your repairs service performs. It tests whether the logic of your plan stands up to scrutiny.
For each question, one of four answers:
- Yes, with evidence
- Partly
- No
- Not sure
The result is a Plan Confidence Score: how much of your plan is supported by evidence, and where important assumptions remain untested.
Ten questions. Honest answers.
Answer for the plan as it stands today: written down, in a presentation, or just in your head. “Not sure” is a useful answer too.
Question 1 of 10 · Purpose
Are you clear about what your improvement plan is actually trying to improve?
Not just compliance, targets or inspection grades, but what residents should experience differently.
