The Front Door Check.
Ten questions about how work actually reaches you, then one low-case figure for what the gaps cost, the three places it comes from, and a plan in the order that pays. This one does its arithmetic on Northstar's server rather than in your browser, and it says so on the page.

Where does movement break?
Answer for how the business actually ran the last thirty days.

What could one conversion gap be costing?
Use your own monthly volume, current close rate, scenario close rate, and average gross contribution per win. This is illustrative math, not a forecast or guarantee.
Northstar won't turn a guess into a dollar claim. Record the missing numbers for seven days, then return with figures you can defend.
The gap is opportunities multiplied by the difference between the two close rates, then multiplied by the gross contribution you entered. Real results depend on lead quality, capacity, price, margin, execution, timing, and other factors.
Stress and time check
Is the business taking all of you?
Use the week you actually lived, not the week you hoped to have. This check shows where daily operations are crowding out strategy time and life outside the business.
Your owner-load read
Talk Through the Owner LoadThis reflects only the time and stress you report. It is not a medical assessment, productivity judgment, or promise that changing the calendar will solve the underlying operating problem.
Technology and AI modernization
Where does work still move by hand?
Having AI software isn't modernization. Modernization means improving how actual work moves through the company. Answer for how each area really ran over the last thirty days, not how the tools were supposed to run it.
This check reads only what you report. It is not an audit, a security review, or a promise that automating a step is the right move for your company.
A score is not a diagnosis
