ILUO Skills-Matrix Starter Board
An ILUO matrix shows who on your team can do what. This free starter board lets you try the four-level icon system on a small grid: pick a level in each cell from a dropdown and watch the cells colour themselves into a heat map. Download it, fill it in, and see your team's coverage take shape.
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.
- Colours every cell by level with a quarter-filled icon, so a wall of cells reads as a heat map at a glance.
- Comes pre-loaded with a small fictional team so you can see the system 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
Want the whole picture, not just one board?
This free board shows the icon system on a small grid. The full Training & ILUO Skills Matrix adds it all up for you — per-task coverage counts, key-person-risk flags, multi-station rollups, an audit-ready quarterly review 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 board between a blank spreadsheet and a rented per-seat platform.
A record-keeping and planning 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.
