Five layers. Ten statements.

Score each statement against the organisation you sit in. The instrument redraws from your answers and states how far the gaps continue to overlap.

03 / The indication

The drawing appears once the 10 statements are scored.

A single open layer is survivable. The instrument is looking for the column where a gap is present in every layer at once.
