Free tools for high-stakes roles
Five tools built on glass cliff research and governance practice. They run entirely in your browser, save your progress on your device, and send nothing unless you choose to.
Glass Cliff Risk Scanner
Twelve questions about a role you are weighing. Get a 0–100 risk score, the red flags and what to negotiate.
Offer Protection Builder
Tick the risks in your offer and get a prioritised list of protections to ask for, ready to copy or print.
Turnaround 100-Day Planner
Choose your situation and get a three-phase plan with weekly checkpoints, dated from your start day.
Crisis Leadership Readiness Check
Fifteen statements across five dimensions. See where you are strong and what to build before you start.
Board Appointment Check
For chairs and search committees: twelve checks that show whether you are setting your next leader up to succeed.

How the tools were built
Each tool turns findings from the research on the glass cliff (see our Research Library) and common governance practice into structured questions. The scores are indicators to guide a conversation, not predictions about any role or person.
