Structural Reliance Classification
Clarity before action.
StrataCare conducts low-burden observational audits that help executive leadership determine whether baseline performance is structurally supported — or whether it depends on sustained human compensation.This work is leadership-facing, non-clinical, and non-disruptive.
What We Do
We observe how work is actually performed during normal operations.Focus areas include:• physical and operational environments
• workflow design and sequencing
• access and control surfaces
• role exposure and task load
• decision density under real conditionsThe objective is not to introduce change.
The objective is to classify structural reliance before action is taken.
Why This Exists
Organizations often act before determining whether performance is structurally supported.StrataCare helps leaders:• distinguish structural conditions from assumptions
• confirm when systems are functioning as observed
• document when restraint is defensible
• identify when baseline continuity depends on sustained human compensationSometimes alignment is the outcome.
How This Is Different
StrataCare audits are upstream and observational.We do not use:• surveys
• interviews
• participation metrics
• engagement data
• self-reportWe observe the system directly, during normal operations.
What This Is Not
StrataCare does not provide:• programs
• training
• consulting
• roadmaps
• coaching
• implementation services
• recommendationsThe audit stands alone as a classification instrument.
What Leaders Receive
Leaders receive a concise audit-style report that:• documents observed operating conditions
• identifies structural signals when present
• records compensatory behavior where observed
• produces a binary determinationYES — Material Structural Reliance Identified
Baseline performance depends on sustained human compensation.NO — Validated Inaction
Baseline performance is structurally supported as observed.Leadership retains full discretion over how — or whether — to act.
Contact
A brief introductory conversation is available for leaders exploring whether structural reliance classification would be useful.No preparation required.
StrataCare operates upstream — observing where structural reliance exists so leadership can make informed decisions.

How StrataCare Approaches Structural Reliance Classification
This page provides additional context for leaders who want a clearer understanding of the audit framework.The audit itself is designed to stand alone.

What This Work Is
StrataCare conducts low-burden observational audits focused on structural reliance.The work examines how environment, workflow, access, and decision surfaces interact during normal operations.It is:• observational
• structural
• non-clinical
• leadership-facing
• upstreamThe purpose is classification — not intervention.
What This Work Is Not
This work is not:• a program
• a compliance audit
• a consulting engagement
• a training initiative
• a recommendation service
• an implementation partnerNo action is required after the audit.
Why Structural Reliance Is Classified
In many environments, baseline performance appears stable.Tier I examines whether that stability is structurally supported — or sustained through ongoing human compensation.When compensation substitutes for structure, reliance exists.When structure supports performance directly, restraint is validated.
Why Observation Matters
This work does not rely on perception, buy-in, memory, or narrative.It observes how the system functions in real conditions.If the observed picture does not reflect reality, the audit does not hold.
That constraint preserves discipline.
How Leaders Use the Findings
Organizations use the audit to:• determine whether structural reliance exists
• validate restraint
• distinguish conditions from assumptions
• document baseline supportLeadership chooses how — or whether — to respond.
Liability & Use of Findings
Findings are observational only.The audit does not diagnose, prescribe, or recommend actions.Ownership of the decision artifact remains with leadership.
Common Questions
How accurate are the findings?
They reflect real conditions observed during normal operations. If the picture is inaccurate, the audit does not hold — by design.
Does this create liability?
No. The audit is non-clinical and observational.
Is staff participation required?
No. The audit is leadership-facing and does not depend on staff input.
What happens after the audit?
Nothing is required. Leaders decide whether to act, monitor, or do nothing.
