Ten-question self-assessment

Where is your portfolio practice ready, and where is it fragile?

Answer ten questions about the foundations, mechanics, and organizational bookends of portfolio practice. Receive an immediate result and practical next steps. Tony, on why this exists: "Ten questions. Nothing is emailed to a salesperson, because there isn't one."

This is not a validated benchmark, maturity certification, management assessment, or audit. It is a directional self-assessment, meant to show you where to look next.
