How scoring works

Each check is one point. Bridge-ready means 9 to 12 checks and at least 3 in every section. A high total with an empty section is a warning, not a pass.

0 to 4: Start by listening

Book one site visit and go to learn, not to solve.

5 to 8: Close the gaps first

Use your unchecked boxes to plan your next visit.

9 to 12: Ready to be the bridge

Keep listening and turn what you learn into mentoring.
