Add all 15 answers before applying the override rules.
| Total | Readiness band | What it means | Recommended next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–11 | Define the purchase | Too much of the proposed commission remains assumed or undecided. | Write the first-suit brief and obtain a suitable US comparison before paying a deposit. |
| 12–19 | Ready to investigate | You have enough direction for targeted consultations, but not a sufficiently documented purchase. | Request a written process, fitting schedule, delivered-cost estimate and correction policy from shortlisted suppliers. |
| 20–25 | Close the material gaps | Much of the preparation is complete, but unresolved items still deserve attention. | Work through every 0 and 1, starting with deposit-essential questions. Ask for a revised quotation rather than collecting more general reassurance. |
| 26–30 | Ready for final pilot review—subject to overrides | You have a strong preparation record for one proposed commission. This is not supplier certification or permission to order a wardrobe. | Reconcile the final order documents, confirm current appointments and proceed only if essential conditions are satisfied. |
Which answers override a high score?
Do not place a deposit under this framework until every Deposit essential question scores 2:Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q13 and Q14. Strength in one area must not compensate for missing fitting access, unspecified goods or absent remedies.
Additional route rules:
- Recurring difficult-fit problems: If Q7 is below 2, obtain a specialist fit assessment before committing. Do not use a high overall score to bypass that assessment.
- Several suits planned: No score authorizes wardrobe expansion. Retain the pilot-first restriction in Q15.
- Already paid: Use missing essentials as a clarification and escalation list. Do not assume the quiz changes your contract or permits withholding an agreed payment.
- A documented MTM offer: Consider it on its own merits rather than forcing it through a bespoke-readiness result.
Illustrative example: A traveler scores 2 on every question except scheduling, where Q6 scores 0. The total is 28/30, but the result remains hold the deposit and repair the schedule. This example demonstrates the scoring rule; it is not a measured customer outcome.
