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.
