How a company Health Score turns 20 dashboards into one number

Executives don't have time to read twenty dashboards every morning. They need a pulse — one honest number that says "the business is healthy" or "look here, now."

What makes a health score honest

A good health score isn't a vanity metric. It's a weighted composite of the signals that genuinely predict trouble:

  • Revenue vs target — are we hitting the plan?
  • Budget adherence — are we spending within the lines?
  • Attrition — is the team stable?
  • Pipeline & deals — is future revenue healthy?
  • Development health — is the product on track?

Weight them by how much each actually matters to your business, and you get a number that moves for real reasons.

From score to action

The score is the headline; the drill-down is the story. A great health score lets you click from "82, on track" straight into the one component dragging it down — and from there into the specific department, deal or budget line.

C Pulse computes exactly this: a weighted Health Score across five live components, with a 7-day trend so you can feel the business accelerating or slowing — at a glance.
