Are you running a real-time operation, or just a digitized schedule?
Posts move. Officers get replaced mid-shift. One expired credential is exactly the kind of gap security contracts are commonly written to penalize. This scores how your platform holds up when the day gets complicated, shows you where it breaks first, and what an operation with your complexity did about it.
Three steps, calibrated to where you're weakest.

Why a digitized schedule is not a real-time operation.
Most guarding platforms are good at publishing a plan. The plan says which officer is at which post at which hour. Then the day starts: a sick call at 05:40, a post that needs an armed officer, a replacement whose site training lapsed last month, an officer moved across three posts before noon at three different bill rates.
A digitized schedule records none of that as it happens. It gets reassembled afterward, from radio calls, a supervisor's memory, and a spreadsheet. That reassembly is where billable accuracy, compliance evidence, and margin quietly go. A real-time operation treats the day-of action as the input, so the schedule, the timesheet, and the audit trail are produced by the work rather than reconstructed after it. That is what this scorecard measures, and it is what the rule engine and security operations pages describe in detail.
This scorecard measures operational maturity, not legal compliance, and it is not legal advice. To find out what applies to your operation, talk to your legal team.
About this scorecard.
What does the score actually measure?
Four areas where guarding operations break under pressure: whether the system models the level you actually dispatch, whether a mid-shift move stays accurate, whether dispatch is the system of record, and whether compliance and credentials are enforced in real time. The result names the one area worth fixing first.
Do I have to give you my email to see my result?
No. The full result, including your score by area, the gap to close first, and the three next moves, appears on screen the moment you finish. Sharing your details afterward is optional and changes nothing about what you can see.
Why is real-time credential verification weighted so heavily?
Because in contract guarding it is the failure with the sharpest edge. A replacement officer who does not hold the licensing class, clearance, or site training a post requires is not only a compliance problem: security contracts commonly write an expired credential in as grounds for penalty or termination. Four of the ten questions sit in that area for that reason.
