The Accountability Intelligence Report™ · Pilot Cohort Now Open

# Know what drama is costing you — before you spend a dollar fixing it.

A paid organizational diagnostic that measures where accountability breaks down across your leadership tiers, quantifies the Drama Tax™ in your own payroll dollars, and hands you a prioritized fix list. In 2–3 weeks. With the methodology shown.

[Book a Scoping Call](https://dramafreeworkforce.com/accountability-intelligence-report#book) 30 minutes. We'll tell you if the AIR is the wrong tool for your situation.

**From $15,000**Founding pilot pricing — rises after the pilot cohort

**2–3 weeks**From data-in to executive readout

**Yours to keep**No obligation to buy anything else

## Why you can trust what it tells you

Most surveys report what people say. The problem is that people under pressure say what's safe. The AIR is built to check whether its own signal holds up, and it tells you plainly when it doesn't.

### A confidence rating on every readout

Every result is rated HIGH, MODERATE, or LOW confidence based on participation. Below 70% participation, we don't dress up the numbers. The readout goes qualitative and says why.

### A candor check

When a tier or function rates itself well above how others experience working with it, we flag the gap. That gap is often the most useful finding in the room, and Jennifer handles it in the readout, not in a chart.

### Checked against how the work actually runs

Survey results are compared with the operating data you already track, and small groups are never reported (minimum of five), so people can answer honestly without being identifiable.

Then a person reads it. Jennifer interprets every AIR and delivers the readout herself. The software produces the data. She produces the report.

## Built for two kinds of buyers

Whether you run a 10,000-person operation or a 150-person company, the starting question is the same: *where, exactly, is execution breaking down — and what is it costing?*

Enterprise

### COOs & CFOs at operations-heavy organizations

You suspect the gap between C-suite strategy and frontline execution is costing real margin, but you can't take a seven-figure problem to the board on a hunch. The AIR gives you a defensible, sourced dollar figure and a map of where the leakage lives — the evidence base for deciding whether a full execution engagement is warranted.

Mid-Market

### Leaders of growing companies (100–1,000 employees)

You don't want to buy a sprawling system. You want to know which piece of the problem to fix first. The AIR tells you whether your breakdown is a clarity problem, a courage problem, or a culture problem — so the first dollar you spend on development lands where it matters. Many clients start and stop right here.

## What we measure

Accountability breakdowns aren't random — they cluster in three dimensions. The AIR scores your organization across all three, using structured assessments of your leadership tiers combined with your actual operating data.

### Clarity

Do managers actually know what to prioritize? We measure how well strategic goals survive the trip from the executive team to the front line — where handoffs go ambiguous and ownership goes unassigned.

### Courage

Are the necessary conversations happening? We measure avoided conversations, delayed feedback, and the blame cycles that replace direct accountability — the largest driver of the Drama Tax™.

### Culture

Does follow-through survive without enforcement? We measure whether accountability is a system your organization runs on, or a personality trait of a few managers who happen to have it.

## Grounded in numbers you can defend

Every dollar figure in your report is calculated from **your** headcount, salaries, and cycle times — using a published methodology, not invented statistics.

**4.34 hrs/week** Average time spent dealing with workplace conflict — more than double the 2.1 hours measured in 2008. The Myers-Briggs Company, Conflict at Work (2022)

**Only 46%** of employees clearly know what is expected of them at work — down from 56% in 2020. Gallup, U.S. employee engagement trend (2024)

## How it works

1

Week 0 · 30 minutes

### Scoping call

We define which leadership tiers to assess, confirm what operating data you can share, and give you a fixed price. If the AIR isn't the right tool for your situation, we'll say so on this call.

2

Weeks 1–2

### Assessment & data collection

Your leaders complete our proprietary Accountability Intelligence instrument, developed by Jennifer T. Long — 41 items measuring observable behavior, under 15 minutes to complete. In parallel, we collect the operating inputs — headcount, salary bands, and cycle-time indicators — that anchor the dollar calculations.

3

Week 3 · 90 minutes

### Executive readout

Jennifer walks your leadership team through the findings: your scores across clarity, courage, and culture; your organization's Drama Tax™ in dollars with every assumption visible; and the three fixes that will recover the most, fastest.

## What you walk away with

✓

**The Accountability Intelligence Report™** — your scored profile across the three dimensions, compared tier against tier within your own organization: the measured gap between what your executive team believes and what your frontline managers experience.

✓

**Your Drama Tax™, in dollars** — calculated from your payroll and operating data as a conservative-to-expected range with every assumption visible, so it survives scrutiny from your CFO, your board, or your own skepticism. We never present a single unqualified number.

✓

**A prioritized fix list** — the three highest-leverage interventions for your specific breakdown pattern, sequenced, whether or not you ever hire us to deliver them.

✓

**The executive readout session** — 90 minutes with Jennifer T. Long, live with your leadership team, findings and questions answered directly.

**Here's how most clients use the AIR:** to decide whether to run a focused Leadership Cohort or a full execution-system engagement. And here's the part we mean sincerely — **some clients take the report and act on it themselves. That's fine.** The report is built to stand on its own. If it's the only thing you ever buy from us, it will still have been worth it.

## Three paths from here

Every AIR ends the same way: you know what's broken and what it costs. What you do next is up to you.

Do it yourself

### Act on the fix list

Take the report and run. The prioritized recommendations are written to be actionable by your own team.

Start focused

### Leadership Cohorts

Fixed-scope, fixed-price programs that take one leadership tier through the specific fix your report identified. Results in 90 days.

Go systemic

### The Execution System

For enterprise leadership teams ready to close the strategy-to-execution gap organization-wide. Your AIR becomes the Phase 1 baseline.

Who's behind the instrument

## Built by Jennifer T. Long

Jennifer is a Master Coach with 35+ years of organizational consulting experience and the Amazon best-selling author of *Own Up! How to Hold People Accountable Without All the Drama*. The AIR draws on the same accountability framework she has delivered inside national laboratories, defense manufacturers, universities, and healthcare systems. Every readout is delivered by Jennifer — not a junior analyst.

## Common questions

Why not just use Culture Amp, Qualtrics, or our engagement survey?

Those platforms are good at collecting and charting what people say, continuously and at scale. The AIR answers a different question: whether what people say holds up. Every readout carries a confidence rating, a candor check, and a comparison against your operating data. Then Jennifer interprets it and walks your leadership team through what to do first. If you already run an engagement survey, keep it. The AIR can use it as one of its inputs.

What data do you need from us?

Headcount by tier, salary bands (ranges are fine), and whatever cycle-time or rework indicators you already track. We work with what you have — the scoping call establishes exactly what's practical. We never need individual performance records.

What makes the 2–3 week timeline hold?

The clock starts when your data inputs arrive and at least 80% of assessed leaders have completed the instrument — we agree on a client-side owner for both at the scoping call. If responses stall, the timeline pauses; it doesn't quietly slip.

How is our data handled?

Assessment responses are confidential and reported in aggregate — individual leaders are never identified in the report, and no group smaller than five people is ever reported separately (smaller tiers are merged or described qualitatively). Your operating data is used solely to produce your report and is covered by a mutual NDA we sign before kickoff.

Why is it priced from $15,000?

Final pricing depends on headcount and how many leadership tiers we assess. The scoping call ends with a fixed number — no open-ended consulting meter.

What does "pilot cohort" mean?

The AIR instrument is built — 41 proprietary items, published scoring methodology, and a full sample report you can see before you commit. We're delivering it first to a small pilot cohort, whose engagements validate the instrument in the open and seed our cross-client benchmarks. Pilot partners get founding pricing that won't be offered again, extra attention from Jennifer by design, and first access to the benchmark data as it grows. We'll tell you plainly which pilot slot you'd be taking and what's still being refined.

Is this just a disguised sales pitch?

No — and the price is part of why. A free "audit" has to sell you something to pay for itself. The AIR is a standalone product with standalone value, and some clients never buy anything else. We're comfortable with that.

We're smaller than 100 employees. Is the AIR for us?

Usually a full AIR is more instrument than you need. Start with our free [Team Accountability Snapshot](https://dramafreeworkforce.com/team-accountability-snapshot) — it takes five minutes and will point you to the right next step.

## Stop estimating. Start measuring.

The AIR pilot cohort is open, with a limited number of founding-partner slots. Book a 30-minute scoping call — you'll leave with a fixed price, a clear scope, and an honest answer about whether the AIR (and a pilot slot) fits your situation.
