File 01 · What it's designed to show
Two dimensions.
One score.
Every other function of the business has a metric. Finance has EBITDA. Sales has pipeline. Operations has cycle time. L&D has measured completion — footfall, not outcome. The LVI is the metric L&D never had.
Competence — the rate at which new skills are formed, transferred to the job, retained over time, and applied efficiently. Resilience — how well your organisation applies capability under pressure, recovers when it counts, embraces challenge, and sustains a learning culture. Competence and Resilience in one score, from 0 to 200, across eight sub-dimensions. A self-assessment of how fast and sustainably an organisation builds capability. The score combines Competence and Resilience so both count and balance between them is weighted by design; this weighting is our design choice, not a research finding. It is adjusted by at most 8 points, up or down, for how demanding people say their environment is.

Trajectory dashboard. Sector comparisons are provisional, built from published research, and should firm up as more organisations take the assessment. A defensible, comparable, quantifiable number — the score every other function already has.
