The Operational Maturity Assessment built for mid-market companies
HQ Score is a proprietary operational maturity assessment developed by Headroom HQ, built specifically for mid-market companies.
How It Works
HQ Universe
HQ Library
Issues
Six fictional mid-market companies navigate real operational challenges across monthly published issues. Every Issue maps to a primary HQ Score dimension.
Operational Failure Archive
Documented operational failures at real named companies, built from primary sources including SEC filings, court records, regulatory orders, and official investigation reports.
Industry Articles
Exploration of the systems, processes, and operational decisions that shape mid-market performance across industries.
Frameworks
Standalone operating models designed to evaluate and simplify specific organizational problems. Unlike Visual Frameworks, which are derived from Issues, Frameworks are independent resources applicable across companies and situations without requiring familiarity with any specific Issue.
Glossary
A 109-term vocabulary guide for the concepts, systems, and operational terminology used across Headroom HQ. Each term maps to one or more HQ Score dimensions and connects to related content across the Headroom HQ ecosystem.
