Evidence-led insight. Practical improvement.
The ISFE assessment is designed to be rigorous enough to create confidence and practical enough to drive action.
1. Federation profile
Capture organisational scale, resources, structure, membership and sporting context.
2. Self-assessment
Score each ISFE Standard and provide supporting evidence, confidence and priority.
3. Validation
Review evidence and explore context through structured interviews with leaders and stakeholders.
4. Reporting
Produce maturity scores, strengths, risks, priorities and a sequenced improvement roadmap.
One consistent scale across every standard.
- 0 — Absent: no effective arrangements in place
- 1 — Emerging: early or informal practice
- 2 — Developing: partially defined and inconsistently applied
- 3 — Established: documented, implemented and generally effective
- 4 — Advanced: integrated, measured and continually refined
- 5 — World Class: leading, demonstrably effective and externally recognised
More than a score.
Each response also captures evidence, confidence, improvement priority and contextual commentary. This helps distinguish perceived maturity from demonstrated capability and reveals where leadership is ready to act.
