About the Diagnostic Centre

More questions? Ask Risalat.

Is it really free and anonymous?

Yes. There is no sign-up and nothing is sent to Risalat. Your answers stay in your browser and disappear when you leave or clear the page.

How are the scores calculated?

Each area has five statements. Answers score 0 (Not at all), 7 (Partly), 13 (Mostly) or 20 (Fully), giving a score out of 100 per area. An area is marked “Priority” when two or more answers are “Not at all” or “Partly”.

Is this an audit or certification?

No. It is a structured first read based on your own answers. For an independent view, request a consultant-led assessment.

How do I save or share my results?

Press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac) and choose “Save as PDF”. Only the results panel is printed, ready to share with your director or team.

Can Risalat help us close the gaps?

Yes — through tailored training, technical advisory and implementation support. Each tool links to relevant programmes and services.
