Five areas where projects most often go wrong
The scorecard covers the same risk areas we assess in our expert reviews — condensed into a quick self-check.
Business clarity
Is the project tied to a defined problem and a measurable outcome — and what does it cost you if it isn't done?
Scope & first version
Is there an agreed, realistic first version — and have stakeholders aligned on what's in and out of scope?
Users & workflows
Does the plan reflect how people actually work, and have real users shaped the requirements?
Data, integrations & AI
Is the data usable, are system connections understood, and is the role of AI clearly defined and bounded?
Delivery readiness
Is there one accountable owner, a realistic budget range, and a timeline the organisation can support?
A risk profile, not just a score
You'll land in one of three readiness levels — and if your answers reveal specific exposure, your result also carries risk tags such as AI readiness, data, integration, adoption, scope or governance risk.
Ready to Scope
Clear goal, defined scope, known users, manageable technical risk. Your next step is scoping, architecture or vendor selection.
Validate Before Build
Clear direction, but some assumptions — scope, workflow, data, integrations or alignment — should be checked before committing budget.
High Build Risk
Starting full development now could create budget, timeline, adoption or technical risk. The project needs a clearer first version or a build / buy / automate / rethink decision.
Found open risks — or want a second opinion?
The scorecard shows you where to look. A free 30–45 minute Pre-Build Risk Review with a Sigli expert goes through your specific project and ends with a clear recommendation: Ready to Build, Clarify First, or Rethink.
Learn about the free risk reviewFrequently asked questions
How long does the scorecard take?
About 3–5 minutes. It has 15 scored questions across five risk areas, plus a few optional questions about your company and role at the end.
Is it free?
Yes, completely. You get your risk profile instantly, and there is no obligation to talk to us afterwards.
Do I need technical knowledge to answer?
No. The questions are about your project's clarity — goals, scope, users, data and ownership — not about technology choices. If you can describe your idea, you can complete the scorecard.
What do I get at the end?
A risk profile, not just a score: one of three readiness levels — Ready to Scope, Validate Before Build, or High Build Risk — plus specific risk tags such as AI readiness, data, integration, adoption, scope or governance risk, with a recommended next step.
What happens with my answers?
Your answers are used to generate your result. If you choose to share your email or ask us to review your risk map, we may follow up — otherwise we won't contact you. See our privacy policy for details.
What should I do after the scorecard?
If your result shows open risks — or you simply want a second opinion — book a free 30–45 minute Pre-Build Risk Review call. A Sigli expert walks through your specific project and gives you a clear build, clarify-first or rethink recommendation.
