THE AUTHORITY MAPPING PROTOCOL™

The Authority Mapping Protocol™

Implementation Kit is not a workbook.

It is not a course.

It is not a framework built on optimism about your team’s readiness.

It is a precision instrument set - the operational companion to structural diagnosis.

You use these tools when you have completed your diagnostic work and are ready to move from understanding your structural problems to actually resolving them.

Instrument I — The Full Authority Matrix™ maps 50 decisions across five domains (Financial, People, Strategy, Commercial, Operations) using a D/A/I/C authority coding system. It culminates in a scored Founder Decision Concentration Index (FDCI) with risk classification thresholds.

Instrument II — The Decision Ownership Charter™ is a formal governance document with a four-clause construction protocol, five domain-specific charter tables, three non-negotiable standing clauses (the Founder Circuit Breaker, the 48-Hour Rule, the Amendment Protocol), and a ratification block with signature lines.

Instrument III — The Escalation Audit Worksheet™ has four parts: a 90-day escalation pattern inventory, a root cause classification system (five structural failure modes), a priority scoring matrix, and a Founder Time-Cost Analysis that quantifies what structural debt is costing in hours per week.

Instrument IV — The 90-Day Structural Roadmap™ sequences implementation across three phases with week-by-week milestone tables, a 12-week progress tracker, and a 90-Day Structural Resilience Scorecard for baseline-to-current delta measurement.
