DEBACLE-O-METER
When the world enters debacle territory, only this meter will do! A reading you can put on a story when words fail to capture the true state of the mess.
THE SCALE
CLOCKWORK 0–2It works. Maybe a hiccup. Leave it alone.
CONFUSION 3–4Nobody has the same story. The plan is getting mushy.
DISARRAY 5–6Hold onto something. The process is visibly coming apart.
TOTAL CLUSTER 7–8Abandon ship. Dogs and cats are living together. Do not overuse this zone.
