A dependable framework for setting, applying, and maintaining standards.
Steady Standards provides a clear, repeatable process that organisations can apply to create consistency across people, processes, and decisions.
A STRUCTURED, REPEATABLE APPROACH
The Steady Standards Framework follows a clear lifecycle.
Each step builds on the previous one, ensuring standards are not only defined but also implemented, monitored, and reviewed in a structured way.
The approach is designed to be practical, defensible, and scalable across organisations and industries.

THE STEADY STANDARDS FRAMEWORK
Define The Standard
Standards are clearly defined to establish purpose, scope, and requirements. Ambiguity is removed before implementation begins.
Align With Obligations
Standards are aligned with policy, legislation, and contractual obligations to ensure compliance and defensibility.
Communicate Clearly
Standards are communicated in plain, operational language so expectations are understood consistently.
Implement Operationally
Standards are embedded into procedures, training, and systems to ensure they are applied in practice.
Monitor & Measure
Compliance is monitored through defined measures to identify trends, risks, and systemic issues.
Respond & Improve
Breaches are addressed through a consistent process, and standards are refined as conditions change.
PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE THE FRAMEWORK
The Steady Standards Framework is built on a small set of governing principles that ensure consistency, fairness, and defensibility in application.
Clarity
Standards are written to remove ambiguity and set clear expectations before they are applied.
Consistency
Standards are applied uniformly across people, roles, and situations to ensure fairness.
Defensibility
Decisions are supported by documented standards, process, and evidence.
Adaptability
Standards are reviewed and refined as operations, risk, or obligations change.
WHERE THE FRAMEWORK APPLIES
The Steady Standards Framework was built for organisations that require consistency, accountability, and defensible decision-making across their operations.
It is particularly suited to environments where standards must be applied fairly and withstand scrutiny.
It is particularly suited to environments where standards must be applied fairly and withstand scrutiny.
- Regulated EnvironmentsOrganisations operating under legislative, regulatory, or contractual obligations where consistency and compliance are critical.
- Complex OperationsMulti-site, multi-role, or distributed organisations where standards must be applied uniformly across people and locations.
- Governance-Driven DecisionsOrganisations that need clear, documented standards to support audits, investigations, or dispute resolution.
BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY
Steady Standards replaces ambiguity with structure and unstructured discretion with consistency.
The framework is designed to support clear expectations, fair application, and defensible decisions - at any scale and across changing operational and regulatory environments.
This framework forms the foundation for deeper guidance within each step.
