I used to use a three results (Red, Yellow, Green) system based on two criteria:
First: Did I gain administrative control of target system(s).
Second: Did I retrieve proprietary or confidential information.
If I was unable to achieve either objective, the client received a
"green" rating.
If I was able to achieve only one objective, the client received a
"yellow" rating.
If I was able to achieve both objectives, the client received a "red" rating.
It sounds very simplistic, but using that system made the results
immediately clear to executive management (who really didn't care
about the technical issues.) It also makes it very simple to create
graphs comparing other clients by industry, size, budget, etc. Again,
this gives the executive summary clarity and impact.
Thanks,
Eddie
