Escalation Run Duration

A project that hits the escalation threshold for one week may be experiencing a temporary spike. A project that has been at or above the threshold for six consecutive weeks has a structural problem that has not been addressed. This visual shows how many consecutive weeks each project has spent above the escalation threshold — making chronic governance failures impossible to overlook.

What you can conclude

• Projects with long escalation durations (4+ weeks) require a structured remediation plan, not just a quick fix — the problem is embedded.
• A project that recently entered escalation and has been there for only 1–2 weeks may respond to targeted intervention before it becomes chronic.
• A project with zero escalation weeks in the period is performing within acceptable governance parameters.
