STSHC Quick Weight Calibrator v1.0

Quick Weight
Calibrator

A 6-question team calibration tool for deriving locally relevant ACI weights without a full Delphi panel process. Designed for teams of 5–20 people who need more than a preset but less than a formal consensus exercise.

STSHC_QUICK_CALIBRATOR_v1.0 Teams of 5–20 ~10 minutes

Mandatory Regulatory Boundary & Operational Disclaimer

This tool produces directional ACI weight estimates for voluntary, non-diagnostic planning purposes only. Weights derived here are less rigorously calibrated than those produced by the full Delphi process (Appendix A, White Paper v1.0). All outputs are planning heuristics — not validated psychometric measurements. Must never be used for employment, disciplinary, or performance management decisions.

When to use this toolThe missing middle between presets and Delphi

Use this tool when: Your team context doesn't fit Knowledge Work, Caregiving, or Creative presets — but you can't realistically convene a 5–10 person panel for a full two-round Delphi process. A team lead, HR manager, or operations lead can complete this alone in 10 minutes. The output is a locally informed starting weight set that can be refined over time.

Use the full Delphi Tool when: You are making a significant organizational commitment to ACI deployment, have 5+ stakeholders with diverse roles who can participate, and want the rigorous consensus process that produces defensible, panel-validated weights.

Step 1 · ~10 minutesRate Each Pillar's Importance to Your Team

For each of the six ACI pillars, rate how important that capacity dimension is to your team's effective functioning on a scale of 1 (minimal importance) to 5 (critical importance). Answer based on what your team actually needs to perform well — not what sounds right in theory.

Pillar 1 · Biological Capacity

MEI — Metabolic Energy Index

How important is baseline physical energy availability to your team's daily output? Consider: does physical fatigue meaningfully affect performance in your team's primary work? Are physical demands — travel, long hours, physical activity — a regular feature of the role?

Not critical

Critical

Pillar 2 · Psychological Capacity

ASI — Autonomic Safety Index

How important is psychological safety and low threat-monitoring to your team's performance? Consider: does your team do high-stakes, high-visibility work where perceived environmental safety affects quality? Is relational stress or organizational tension a regular performance variable?

Not critical

Critical

Pillar 3 · Cognitive Capacity

PRS — Pre-Task Readiness Scale

How dependent is your team's output on sustained attentional clarity and low cognitive friction? Consider: does your team do complex synthesis, problem-solving, or creative work where attention quality directly determines output quality?

Not critical

Critical

Pillar 4 · Meaning Capacity

MAV — Meaning Alignment Variable

How much does value alignment and a sense of purpose affect your team's engagement and output quality? Consider: does your team do mission-driven, creative, or meaning-sensitive work where intrinsic motivation is a primary performance driver?

Not critical

Critical

Pillar 5 · Relational Capacity

RCI — Relational Capacity Index

How important is the quality of relational support and team cohesion to your team's functioning? Consider: is your team's work highly collaborative, client-facing, or dependent on trust relationships? Does relational friction or isolation measurably reduce performance?

Not critical

Critical

Pillar 6 · Regenerative Capacity

RCV — Regenerative Capacity Variable

How important is recovery, renewal, and regenerative capacity to sustaining your team's output over time? Consider: does your team do high-intensity, high-frequency output work where burnout risk is real? Does novelty, creative replenishment, or recovery time measurably affect output cycles?

Not critical

Critical
