Coverage Checker — Spot Single Points of Failure
A fast, free way to see your team's coverage risk. Put your people down one side and a few tasks across the top, record how far along each person is, and the checker flags the single points of failure — the tasks only one person can run. Download it, fill it in, and see where a single absence would hurt.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- Records each person's level on a task with the four-step ILUO scale: In training, Limited, Unsupervised, Operator.
- Counts how many people can cover each task alone, and flags every single point of failure — the tasks only one person can run.
- Comes pre-loaded with a small fictional team so you can see it working, then overwrite it with your own.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file.
Own it, don't rent it
Ready to close the gaps, not just see them?
This free checker shows you the risk. The full Cross-Training & Coverage Planner helps you fix it — set a coverage target for every task, see the live gap against it, and get a suggested trainer-and-trainee pairing for each gap, plus a tracker, a progress log, and four plain-English guides, in one owned spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice).
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse across your whole team — the structured planner between a blank spreadsheet and a rented per-seat platform.
A planning and record-keeping template, not HR, legal, safety, or compliance advice, and not a certification of anyone's competence. The example team is fictional and illustrative. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
