The Win-Without-Fighting Audit
Score your organisation against Sun Tzu's hierarchy of attack. The audit returns a category profile, a composite score (0–100), and the strategic archetype your pattern most resembles.
“Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.” — Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Ch. III §3 (Giles, 1910)
Sun Tzu's hierarchy of attack — the four tiers
From best to worst. The tier highlighted in teal is the one your assessment pattern most resembles.
Self-assessment — 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)
Ten statements across four categories. Categories C and D are reverse-scored — agreement there indicates a weaker strategic position.
Category bars — higher is better (after reverse-scoring)
Each bar shows the category score on a 0–100 scale. The black tick on each track is that category's threshold for “Sun Tzu-grade” status.
