What is the Align Diagnostic?

A free 90-second operations diagnostic from Paddock20. Twelve questions across four pillars (Toe, Camber, Caster, Thrust) produce a live Align Score from 0 to 100 and place your operation in one of six bands, from Daily Driver to F1 Operation.

Do I have to give you my email to see my score?

No. Your Align Score, band, and pillar breakdown appear immediately after the last question. No account, no email gate. An email is only needed if you want the two-page PDF snapshot sent to an inbox.

What do Toe, Camber, and Caster mean in the diagnostic?

They are a wheel-alignment metaphor for four operational pillars: Toe is visibility (can you see the work?), Camber is flow (does work move through your systems or around them?), Caster is stability (is there one source of truth?), and Thrust is leverage (are people doing work software should?).

What happens after I get my Align Score?

You can book a Fit Call, which turns your weakest pillar into a scoped build plan. It is $249 and runs 60 to 90 minutes. If you would rather talk first, the free 15-minute Warm-Up Lap is open too.

How long does the diagnostic take?

About 90 seconds. It is twelve questions, one per screen, with a live progress indicator.

01·The Idea

Why It Is Called Align

Alignment is the fit between how your operation actually works and the systems it runs on. A car in alignment puts every bit of engine into going forward. Out of alignment, it burns fuel fighting itself. Your operation is the same.

Misaligned · Effort goes to workarounds

Aligned · Effort goes to the work

The Align Score measures one thing: how hard your software makes you work to do your work.

That is the connection, made literal. The diagnostic measures the bend. The build removes it. Same word, both ends: the tool that reads your alignment, and the studio that restores it.

02·The Flow

Six Steps, Ninety Seconds

What the operator moves through, start to booked call. One question per screen, motion between each, the pillar lighting up as they go.

START · Where are you operating?

Twelve questions. Ninety seconds. No email required.

TWELVE QUESTIONS · across four pillars

Toe, Camber, Caster, Thrust. One per screen, progress lit.

LIVE ALIGN SCORE · no email, no wait

0 to 100, animated on the meter, the second the last question is answered.

YOUR BAND · one of six

From Daily Driver to F1 Operation. Diagnosis, not a grade.

03·The Pillars

Four Axes of Alignment

Toe

Can you see the work, or find out after? Whether status lives on a screen or in someone's head.

Camber

Does work move through your systems, or around them on re-keying and glue?

Caster

One source, or six spreadsheets that disagree? Whether the numbers reconcile.

Thrust

Are people doing work software should? And could AI sit on top today?

THE WEIGHTING (not an average, a load-bearing calculation)

Caster and Camber carry the most weight, because thrust and visibility only pay off on a foundation that holds. The weak pillar drags the score, the way it drags your week.

04·The Score

The Reading on the Rack

A live 0 to 100 reveal on the meter, landing in one of six bands. The bands are motorsport on purpose: a low score reads as a diagnosable condition with a fix, not a grade you failed.

05·What You Get

What You Walk Away With

Four minutes in, here's what's waiting on the other side:

An Align Score, 0 to 100, the moment the last question is answered. No email required to see it.

Four readings (Toe, Camber, Caster, Thrust) showing exactly where the operation is tight and where it is loose.

Your band. One of six, Daily Driver through F1 Operation, matched against the Tech Stack. A diagnosis, not a grade.

A ranked next move, named from the weakest pillar: the one thing worth fixing first, not a generic checklist.

The Fit Call

Your score is on screen the second you finish. The Fit Call turns your weakest pillar into a scoped plan: 60 to 90 minutes, $249. The $249 counts toward your build when you sign the written scope within 30 days.
