Responsibility Audit

A self-assessment tool to identify what is yours to carry, fix, build, or repair. Use it privately, then bring one real commitment to the circle.

What Is the Responsibility Audit?

  • A self-assessment tool, not a test.
  • Helps men identify what is genuinely theirs to carry.
  • Separates real responsibility from guilt, shame, and other people's expectations.
  • The funnel Stage 2 from the marketing plan: Awareness → Responsibility Audit → Find a Circle → R.A.W. Commitment → Witness → Service.

The Five Domains

Self-Mastery

  1. What habits, patterns, or disciplines do I need to own?
  2. Where am I drifting from my word?
  3. What truth have I been avoiding because it costs comfort?
  4. What support or structure would help me follow through?

Family & Relationships

  1. What is mine to repair, maintain, or build in my closest relationships?
  2. Where have I been defensive instead of responsible?
  3. Who needs a clean acknowledgement from me?
  4. What boundary or commitment would create trust?

Work & Vocation

  1. What is mine to deliver, create, or improve in my work?
  2. Where am I underperforming or overpromising?
  3. What skill must I build next?
  4. What contribution would make my work more honest and useful?

Brotherhood & Community

  1. What is mine to contribute to the men around me and my local community?
  2. Who have I failed to check on?
  3. Where can I offer strength without control?
  4. What circle responsibility am I ready to carry?

Civic & Service

  1. What is mine to give beyond my immediate circle?
  2. What local need can I help meet with practical action?
  3. Who is unseen, isolated, or unsupported near me?
  4. What service mission could be witnessed and completed this month?

How to Use the Audit

  1. Set aside 30-45 minutes in a quiet space.
  2. Answer each question honestly — no one else will see this.
  3. Circle 1-3 items that feel most urgent.
  4. Bring one item to your next circle meeting as a R.A.W. commitment.
  5. Repeat quarterly.

Move from awareness to action.

The audit is complete when one item becomes a witnessed commitment.
