Build your team baseline

Two axes, read separately: how the team has agreed to work, and how it responds under pressure. Enter what the team already holds and share the path.

The team baseline reads two axes separately and never averages them: how the team has agreed to work, and how it responds under pressure. It is a read on the operating system the team works inside — never a label on a person.

Nothing here is stored. Use initials, a seat or a role — never a name — and the shared link carries numbers and Saboteur names only. Individual results stay with the person and with you.

Axis one · Pressure response

Top Saboteurs (up to three, strongest first)

Axis two · Behavioural contract

Enter the band for each tier from the Team Health Assessment. Optional — the pressure axis reads without it, but the baseline is only half a picture. The five-tier model is Patrick Lencioni's work.

1. Vulnerability-based trust
2. Unfiltered, productive debate
3. Clarity and buy-in
4. Peer-to-peer accountability
5. Collective focus on outcomes

Enter at least 3 team members with a score or Saboteurs.
