Sun Tzu's CI Maturity Self-Assessment
Score your organisation across the five intelligence channels and the foreknowledge–action axes from Chapter XIII of The Art of War. See where you sit on the four-quadrant model.
“Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience, nor by any deductive calculation. Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only be obtained from other men.” — Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Ch. XIII (Giles, 1910)
Score your channels — 1 (absent) to 5 (systematic)
For each of Sun Tzu's five spy types, rate how systematically your organisation cultivates the modern equivalent. Sun Tzu-grade benchmark = 4.
