How it's built

The whole program in one file, with its sample data at the top. It drew the recording above; both languages draw the same cells.

Run it yourself

Three steps in PowerShell, four in C#. Every command copies with one click.

  1. Install the module

    Once. Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 on Windows, macOS or Linux.

    Install-Module ConsoleMonster -Scope CurrentUser

  2. Save the program

    Download it, or copy it from above into readiness-report.ps1.

    Download readiness-report.ps1View on GitHub

  3. Run it

    From the folder you saved it in.

    ./readiness-report.ps1

  1. Create a project

    A plain console app; .NET 8 or later.

    dotnet new console -n Readinessreport; cd Readinessreport

  2. Add ConsoleMonster

    The only package the program needs.

    dotnet add package ConsoleMonster

  3. Replace Program.cs

    Download it, or copy the program from above.

    Download Program.csView on GitHub

  4. Run it

    dotnet run

Or skip the copying. Every demo ships with the module and the project template.

Show-ConsoleDemo readiness-report
Get-ConsoleDemo readiness-report -Path ./readiness-report.ps1
dotnet new install ConsoleMonster.Templates
dotnet new consolemonster --demo readiness-report -n Readinessreport

Make it yours

Start with these, then read the rest of the file.

  1. Replace the fixed check results with your own in-memory assessment results and update the summary counts.

  2. Change the area scores and warning thresholds to match your readiness criteria.

  3. Replace the next-action sentence with a concrete response to your highest-priority finding.
