Change Calibrator
How much change and adoption effort
does this solution actually require?
Every implementation plan answers that question, usually by feel. The Change Calibrator answers it with an instrument: a weekly, five-minute calibration that doses the effort across eight levers, tells you what moves the most, what you can leave out, and when the honest answer is stop. The evidence decides what, practice delivers how, and you set how much. Access is by invitation.
What it does
It runs from day one. Before any diagnostic data exists, the Calibrator turns your first impressions into a dosing: which levers need intensive effort, which can stay light, and why. Plan and budget rest on that answer in week one, so it should not wait for week six.
It forces a priority. At most three levers may be intensive. When everything looks critical, an instrument that says "do everything, maximally" has helped nobody. The Calibrator keeps the three with the strongest evidence for your success goal, and it labels every level it caps, honestly, so you can override it with open eyes.
It can say stop. When the preconditions for adoption are not in place, the Calibrator does not produce a braver dosing. It names the two or three preconditions to fix first, and what would reopen the door. That is the most valuable sentence an instrument can say, and the one no vendor says.
It shows its evidence. Every recommendation carries its source and its evidence grade: measured, measured but contested, practice, or own experience. Including the measured null results, which is why it can also tell you what to leave out, and save the money.
It keeps the history. Weekly calibrations build the curve of how the required effort moved through your initiative, which is an argument nobody else in the field can put on the table.
Calibrator first, Radar after
The Change Calibrator is the weekly working instrument; the Adoption Risk Radar is the periodic diagnostic that sharpens it. On day one the Radar's data does not exist yet, but the question of how much effort the task requires must be answered in week one. So the Calibrator runs first and weekly, the Radar runs at milestones, and every Radar assessment upgrades the Calibrator's precision. One method, two instruments, same evidence base.

The dosing engine builds on published, measured evidence (Budzier, Gottschalck, Thuesen and Lanng, Intelligent Change, Wiley 2025) combined with established change practice; the ambition question builds on the sizing approach from CHANGE UNIVERZ by HUMAN UNIVERZ, used with credit as a member.
