Where is your frontier moving?
Before mapping your position, you must identify the signals that define where your industry's frontier is heading. For each of the five domains below, rate the strength of frontier movement you are observing and describe the key signal.
For each domain: rate how strongly the frontier is moving (1 = stable/slow, 10 = fast/disruptive), then briefly describe the most important signal you are observing. Be specific — vague signals produce vague maps.
Where does your organisation stand?
Rate your organisation honestly across seven dimensions that determine competitive position. These ratings form the inner ring of your Frontier Map — the gap between this ring and the outer frontier defines the work ahead.
Can your organisation cross?
Knowing where the frontier is and where you stand is not enough. This stage measures whether you have the capacity to actually make the crossing — the six forces that determine whether transformation sticks or fails.

Concrete actions you can take in the next 90 days to begin closing the gap.
The Frontier Mapping Framework integrates five-domain external scanning, seven-dimension competitive position audit, and six-force crossing capacity assessment into a single synthesised view. Frontier Gap = mean external frontier signal minus mean internal position score. Crossing Index = mean capacity score weighted by gap severity. Crossing Vectors are ranked by the product of gap size and capacity deficit. This is a structured self-assessment tool — results reflect the quality and honesty of inputs provided.
