Designed for C-suite, board members, and auditors. Synthesizes data from dashboard metrics, gap assessments, risk registers, and policy status into a single exportable document. ### What It Covers - **Readiness scoring** -- overall compliance readiness percentage with area-by-area breakdown weighted by audit importance - **PDCA progress** -- visual summary of which implementation phases are complete, in progress, or not started - **Critical gaps** -- prioritized list of open findings, missing artifacts, and overdue corrective actions that could block certification - **Risk highlights** -- top risks by residual score with treatment status, surfaced from the risk register - **Timeline to audit** -- estimated readiness date based on current progress velocity and remaining work - **Recommendations** -- specific next steps for closing gaps before the Stage 1 or Stage 2 audit ### Sample output {{< figure src="/images/learn/executive-readiness-report-above-fold.png" alt="Executive Readiness Report showing readiness scores, PDCA progress, and critical gaps" caption="Executive Readiness Report — board-ready compliance summary with readiness scores by area, PDCA implementation progress, and critical gaps requiring attention." >}} Open the full Executive Readiness Report → ## Example Conversation > **You:** Generate an executive readiness report for our ISO 45001 certification. The board meeting is next Thursday and Sarah Mitchell needs to present our OHSMS implementation progress. > > **Agent:** I'll scan the workspace for all OHSMS artifacts and dashboard metrics, then compile the executive report. Let me start by reading the current dashboard state and discovering available documents. > > Artifact scan complete. Found 25 documents across the output directory: organization profile, gap assessment, hazard register, legal register, OH&S policy, competence matrix, training plan, operational controls, emergency plans, monitoring program, internal audit report, management review minutes, and incident investigation reports. > > Dashboard metrics show 92% overall completion, current phase "Act", 11 of 12 skills complete. 1 Major NC from the internal audit (worker participation records for night shift) has a corrective action in progress. > > Here's the draft readiness summary: > - **Overall readiness: 87%** (weighted across 6 areas) > - **Context & Scope: 95%** -- fully documented, profile complete > - **Hazard & Risk Management: 90%** -- 24 hazards identified, all with hierarchy of controls, 2 residual high risks under active treatment > - **Policy & Support: 85%** -- policy approved, competence matrix complete, communication procedure in place > - **Performance Evaluation: 80%** -- monitoring program live, internal audit complete with 1 Major NC > - **Leadership & Review: 90%** -- management review conducted, all actions assigned > - **Improvement: 82%** -- incident procedure established, CAPA register active, 1 overdue corrective action > > The critical gap is the night shift worker participation finding (Major NC). Estimated time to close: 2 weeks. Recommend scheduling Stage 1 audit no earlier than 4 weeks from now. > > **You:** That looks good. Can you adjust the emphasis to highlight the LTIFR improvement from 12.3 to 9.8? The board will want to see that. > > **Agent:** Updated. I've added a "Key Achievements" section prominently featuring the LTIFR improvement (20% reduction year-over-year) alongside other wins: all 24 hazards now have hierarchy-of-controls documentation, legal register covers 23 obligations with compliance evaluation schedule, and emergency drill program operational across all 3 sites. Report saved to `output/Executive-Readiness-Report.md`. ## Sample Output Excerpt The report is structured for board-level consumption with an executive summary, readiness scorecard, and prioritized action items. --- # Executive Readiness Report — ISO 45001:2018 **Organization:** SafeBuild Construction Pty Ltd **Date:** 2026-03-31 | **Prepared for:** Board of Directors **Framework:** ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System **Target audit:** Stage 1 — May 2026 ## Executive Summary SafeBuild Construction's OHSMS implementation is **87% complete** with 11 of 12 implementation skills finalized. The organization has made significant progress from a baseline of no formal OHSMS to a near-audit-ready state in 7 months. One Major non-conformity from the internal audit (night shift worker participation) requires closure before the Stage 1 audit. ## Key Achievements - **LTIFR reduced from 12.3 to 9.8** (20% improvement year-over-year) - 24 hazards identified and assessed with full hierarchy of controls documentation - Legal register covering 23 OH&S obligations with compliance evaluation schedule - Emergency drill program operational across all 3 construction sites - Management review conducted with CEO and site supervisors ## Readiness Scorecard | Area | Weight | Score | Status | |------|--------|-------|--------| | Context & Scope (Cl. 4) | 10% | 95% | Ready | | Hazard & Risk Management (Cl. 6, 8) | 25% | 90% | Ready | | Policy & Support (Cl. 5, 7) | 20% | 85% | Ready | | Performance Evaluation (Cl. 9) | 20% | 80% | Minor gaps | | Leadership & Review (Cl. 5, 9.3) | 15% | 90% | Ready | | Improvement (Cl. 10) | 10% | 82% | Minor gaps | | **Weighted Total** | **100%** | **87%** | **On track** | ## Critical Gaps | Priority | Finding | Clause | Owner | Due | Status | |----------|---------|--------|-------|-----|--------| | 1 | Night shift worker participation records incomplete | 5.4 | James Chen | 2026-04-15 | In progress | | 2 | Confined space permit system needs improvement (Minor NC) | 8.1 | Site Supervisor — Richmond | 2026-04-30 | Planned | ## Recommendation Schedule Stage 1 audit no earlier than **May 2026** to allow closure of the Major NC and verification of the corrective action effectiveness. ## Extension Tools ### `scan_compliance_artifacts` Scans the workspace for compliance documents across all standard types — gap assessments, risk registers, policies, audit reports, management review minutes, and control documentation. Returns a categorized inventory with file paths, modification dates, and document freshness. | Check | What It Validates | Output | |-------|-------------------|--------| | **Document discovery** | Scans `output/` and workspace root for compliance artifacts by filename patterns | Categorized file list with paths | | **Freshness** | Calculates days since last modification for each artifact | Age in days, freshness status | | **Coverage** | Reports which document categories have artifacts vs. which are missing | Category coverage summary | ### `compute_readiness_score` Computes an overall readiness score with area-by-area breakdown from workspace artifacts and dashboard metrics. Weights areas by audit importance for the detected compliance framework. | Check | What It Validates | Output | |-------|-------------------|--------| | **Area scoring** | Evaluates each readiness area based on artifact completeness and quality signals | Per-area percentage score | | **Weighting** | Applies framework-specific weights (e.g., Hazard & Risk Management weighted 25% for ISO 45001) | Weighted total score | | **Gap identification** | Flags areas below readiness threshold | Prioritized gap list | ### `compile_executive_report` Compiles all sections of the executive readiness report with localized headers and labels. Supports English, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish output. | Check | What It Validates | Output | |-------|-------------------|--------| | **Section assembly** | Combines executive summary, scorecard, gaps, risks, timeline, and recommendations | Complete report markdown | | **Localization** | Applies correct language headers and labels based on workspace locale | Localized report | | **Metric integration** | Pulls current values from dashboard metrics into the report | Live metric values embedded | ## Getting Started The Executive Readiness Report is typically the **last skill** run in a workspace — it synthesizes everything produced by earlier skills into a single board-ready document. Before running this skill, ensure you have: - Completed most or all of the workspace's implementation skills (the report will note any that are incomplete) - A populated project dashboard with current metrics - At least one gap assessment or internal audit report in the workspace To generate the report: 1. Activate the *Executive Readiness Report* skill 2. Tell the agent who the audience is (board, audit committee, C-suite) and when the target audit date is 3. The agent will scan all workspace artifacts, read dashboard metrics, and draft the report 4. Review the draft — you can adjust emphasis, add context, or request different formatting 5. The final report is saved to `output/Executive-Readiness-Report.md` This skill works across all compliance frameworks — it auto-detects the framework from workspace context (ISO 27001, ISO 45001, SOC 2, etc.) and uses framework-appropriate terminology and section structure. --- Back to [Skill Library](https://rakenne.app/skills/index.md)
