The twelve questions
Answer for how things work today, not how they are meant to work. If you do not know, choose Not sure. It scores the same as No, because a habit nobody can confirm is hard to rely on.
Total across four areasEach answer adds 2 for Yes, 1 for Partly and 0 for No or Not sure. Each area runs from 0 to 6.
By area
Your two weakest areas
No grade or band is given. Nothing here validates a cut-off, so the page shows your numbers and stops there.

What stays with you
Your answers stay in your browser. The Checklist scores them on your own machine. Nothing is sent, and nothing is stored by Saintilco.
You see the whole result first. No email, no form, no sign-up stands between you and the score.
After that, sharing is your choice. If you want the result and a suggested next step sent to you, enter your email. Saintilco receives your email address, and the summary only if you tick the box.
What it is not
A checklist, not a review of your awards. It uses only your answers. It cannot see your awards, your ledger or your Workday tenant.
Not a grade. There is no pass mark and no label for your organization. The score describes your answers.
Not about any system change. It does not look at award costs processing or at any planned change to your tenant.
Not the Effort Certification Review. That free tool reads your real certification export. This Checklist asks about habits.
Common questions
Do I need Workday to use it? No. The questions are about habits, so they apply on any system.
How is the score worked out? Yes adds 2, Partly adds 1, and No or Not sure add 0. Three questions per area gives each area 0 to 6 and the total 0 to 24.
Who is it for? Research administration, grants accounting and sponsored programs teams who want a quick look before a deeper review.
