Workflow Friction Scorecard
SAMPLEMost publishing teams do not have a software problem.
They have a friction problem. A hundred small drags between idea and published quietly cap how much you ship, and how well it performs once it is live.
Who It Is For
Built for Teams That Publish at Scale
Digital publishers, newsrooms, and editorial teams of roughly 10 to 200 people, with an active publishing cadence and a real content archive. Most useful if any of these stacks sound familiar.
What We Review
Six Areas, From Idea to Published, Found, and Read
We walk the full path your team and your readers travel. Each area is rated, so you can see exactly where the drag is.
CMS & publishing workflow
The draft-to-publish path inside your CMS, image handling, and the plugins you lean on to fill the gaps.
Editorial process & handoffs
Where stories wait, where they get handed off, and where status disappears into someone’s inbox.
Content production
The repetitive manual work that sits between written and discoverable, like resizing, tagging, and scheduling.
Newsletter & distribution
How each edition gets built, and how content moves to social and other channels after it publishes.
Analytics & visibility
Whether your team can see what is in flight right now, and how content actually performed once it is shipped.
Automation & tool stack
The highest-leverage places to automate, connect, or simplify the tools you already pay for.
Every area is scored Red, Amber, or Green and rolled into a single 0 to 100 Friction Score you can track over time.
