Sample Team Culture Snapshot
The report a team gets from the six-minute culture assessment alone, before anyone has set a goal. It's where every coach and consultant starts.
Ridgeline decides by consensus.
Clarity and predictability, reached through people.
Nearly every voice is sought before a call is made. That's why this team has almost no rework and almost no resentment. It's also why big decisions take a long time.

A value is core when most of the team chose it over its pair.
Conflict values: where the team splits
Decisiveness vs Deliberate decision making
This team's number-one conflict value. People are split on whether anyone should make the call, and when.
Engineering ↔ Product
The widest separation on the team (0.62). The two groups sit in opposite quadrants: Product in Collaborate, Engineering in Competence.
What to bring to the first conversation
- When a discussion here doesn't end, who is waiting for whom?
- Which decisions really need everyone, and which only need everyone heard?
- What would Engineering and Product each say is slowing the team down?
- What goal would be worth working on together for the next 16 weeks?
Tie it to one goal, and the snapshot becomes a plan.
The leader names one goal and the challenges in the way. The team says how confident it is and which challenge matters most. That becomes the Team Readiness Report, with the first moves to make.

Illustrative sample using a composite team. Individual responses are never shown to managers or leadership. Team-level reporting begins at five responses — below that, results are shared openly with the team and the coach, and everyone is told before they answer.
