Administering a multi-faceted cultural assessment survey combined with focus groups across all affected tiers.
Why this is correct
Surveys and focus groups capture both quantitative sentiment and qualitative cultural nuances necessary for readiness planning.

Why it's wrong here
Hardware depreciation is a financial metric completely unrelated to organizational change readiness.

Why it's wrong here
Incident backlogs reflect past technical performance, not future behavioral readiness for change.
