How the Tribal Knowledge Loss Exposure Radar gate works
How the Tribal Knowledge Loss Exposure Radar scores one process's documentation depth against its criticality: a single-point gate forces a distinct SINGLE-POINT verdict — outside the score bands — when a line-critical process is held by one operator with a shallow SOP, which is how the sample scores 43 and still reads SINGLE-POINT.
How the gate works
This tool grades one process's know-how capture against its criticality. Each control is marked from your own evidence and weighted into a 0–100 score — and then the score is run past a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 2 weighted controls
| Signal | Weight |
|---|---|
| Documentation depth | 64 |
| Criticality tolerance | 36 |
| Total | 100 |
The verdict bands
A process rated important-or-higher criticality, held by one or zero backup-qualified operators, without a validated depth-3 SOP is forced to SINGLE-POINT regardless of how much of it got captured.
In the worked sample it scores 43 out of 100 and still reads SINGLE-POINT — Documentation reaches a draft SOP - depth 2 of 3 - which on its own would read THIN at 43. But this is a line-down/safety-critical process held by exactly one qualified operator with no verified SOP and a departure horizon inside 12 months. The single-point gate forces SINGLE-POINT regardless of the 43. Marked fix first on this sample: Write & validate the SOP to depth 3, or qualify a 2nd operator - either one releases the gate.
Common questions
Can something score well on the Tribal Knowledge Loss Exposure gate and still fail?
Yes. The weighted score is run past a worsen-only gate — the Single-point-of-failure — that can only make the verdict worse. In the worked sample it scores 43 out of 100 and still reads SINGLE-POINT, because documentation reaches a draft SOP - depth 2 of 3 - which on its own would read THIN at 43. But this is a line-down/safety-critical process held by exactly one qualified operator with no verified SOP and a departure horizon inside 12 months. The single-point gate forces SINGLE-POINT regardless of the 43.
What is a worsen-only gate?
A rule that can only lower a verdict, never raise it. One gate-triggering gap overrides an otherwise-good score, because a single gate-triggering gap shouldn't hide behind a high average. Where something is short, the fix-first row names it — here, "Write & validate the SOP to depth 3, or qualify a 2nd operator - either one releases the gate.".
Scores a process, never a person. Deterministic and offline - your inputs, no benchmark multiplier.
