Believe vs prove

This chart measures one thing: the distance between your two lines. That distance is how much of what you believe about your people you can't yet prove.

What I believe (gut score) What I can prove (ticks)
Your gapgut minus ticks

How to read your chart

Read the gap, not the height of the lines.

  • Low score, small gap: a weakness you can already see.
  • High score, wide gap: a blind spot you can't prove.
Believe 0Prove 0Total gap 0 / 20

Answer an area and your lines will start to appear.

Your Return on Person™

Finish this after the session with your P&L. Growth in your people shows up as more gross profit from the same payroll, over time.

Gross profit÷Total payroll=Return on Person

Return on Person

Your direction

Count payroll the same way every year. Whatever you include (salaries, bonuses, benefits, payroll taxes, regular contractors), keep it consistent so the trend is real.

This number can't be compared with anyone else's. It only means something against your own numbers over time.

Read it next to page 1. A flat or falling line, next to a wide believe vs prove gap, usually means the people plan is being assumed.

What I notice

Return on Person™ is a measure developed by wattsnextpx. It is one input, read alongside the wider evidence. wattsnextpx.com/px-baseline
