Positioning Strength Self-Assessment

Score your organisation across the five moats that build shih — Sun Tzu's stored potential energy of a chosen position. The dashboard returns a composite Shih Score (0–100) and the strategic posture it implies.

“Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.” — Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Ch. IV §15 (Giles, 1910)

Score your moats — 1 (none) to 10 (decisive)

For each dimension, rate where your organisation sits today. The 7‑of‑10 mark is the “defensible” benchmark.
