The 3-pillar × 15-domain capacity model
  • Organizational
  • Programmatic
  • Adaptive

An illustrative capacity profile — your assessment plots your own.

What it covers

The whole organisation, not one corner of it — 15 capacity domains across three pillars, each scored on the same 0–4 scale. The gaps between where you are and where you want to be become your growth plan.

Organizational

How the organisation is led, staffed, funded and run.

  • Governance & Leadership
  • HR Management
  • Financial Management
  • Org Administration
  • Safeguarding

Programmatic

How the mission is delivered and its results are proven.

  • Child Protection
  • Family & Community-Based Care
  • Child Welfare
  • Program Management
  • Monitoring & Evaluation

Adaptive

How the organisation learns, innovates and connects outward.

  • Inquisitiveness
  • Innovation
  • External Focus
  • Community Involvement
  • Network Connectedness

What you walk away with

Not a score buried in a spreadsheet — a capacity read you can act on and share.

Your capacity profile

Your own radar across all 15 domains — where you are strong, where you are fragile, at a glance.

Your biggest gaps

The lowest-scoring domains, ranked — so you know which weakness to work on first, not by guess.

A shareable snapshot

A capacity read you can save and share with your board and your funders — and a recommended next move.

Where it takes you next

The snapshot is a starting point, not the end. From it, three ways forward — go as deep as you are ready to.

Honest about what a self-score is

A public self-assessment is a starting read, not a verified score. We have learned this in the field: honest baselines often start inflated and recalibrate downward as candour grows — the Trust Threshold.

So take the snapshot for what it is — the first honest look. The evidence-backed full assessment, and a certified practitioner facilitating it, is the real instrument. That is where a self-score becomes a score you can stand behind with a funder.

Take the first honest look

It is free, and it takes one sitting. Create an account with your email and organisation to save and share your snapshot — and to carry it across to Curaspark, where the gaps become a growth plan. One login, one organisation.
