Six questions. Two minutes. A scored structural profile of the authority dynamics in your athletic department.
Every Power 4 program is experiencing some level of Authority Drift right now — decisions escalating when they shouldn't, NIL governance operating informally, mandate boundaries blurring under pressure. This Quick Scan tells you where your program sits and what it means.
What you get: A scored Authority Drift Profile across six structural indicators — Escalation Compression, NIL Governance, Donor Influence, Authority Boundaries, Decision Stability, and AD Authority Load — plus a plain-language interpretation of what your score means and what to do about it.
This is a signal check — not a diagnosis. If the results suggest structural risk, the next step is an Athletic Authority Assessment: a focused scoping engagement where North Signal maps the pressure points in person.
