The 2-Minute Position Control Test

A test for your position control system, no matter what that system looks like — a spreadsheet, an HRIS, or dedicated software. Set the timer, answer what you can. No signup, nothing to submit.

Set a timer for two minutes. Check off each question you can answer right now, from memory — not after opening a spreadsheet to look it up.

You have a real system.

Six for six — genuinely uncommon. Stay with whatever you're doing; it's working.

You have a partial system.

You can answer most of these, which means something is tracking this data — but partial systems fail eventually, usually right when an auditor or a board member asks the one question you can't answer on the spot.

You have a spreadsheet.

That's not a judgment — it's the normal starting point. The test isn't a gotcha; it's the baseline any position control tool should clear easily, and a spreadsheet usually can't, past a certain size.
