Information module

Description

Outstanding technical debt

  • The total time required to resolve existing technical debt on your platform, based on the effort of a single developer. It does not include time for testing, validation, or other stages of the software development life-cycle (SDLC).
  • The graph line shows the trend of technical debt over a certain time period.
  • The time period shown depends on available data, with a maximum of 90 days of information displayed.

Technical debt prevented

  • Reflects the amount of technical debt prevented from entering the instance because of the Scan Engine's real-time prevention.
  • The graph line shows the trend of prevented technical debt over a certain time period.
  • The time period shown depends on available data, with a maximum of 90 days of information displayed.

Platform Health Score

  • A 0–100 metric showing your overall instance platform risk across five weighted categories.
  • Combines Security, Performance, Manageability, Upgradeability, and User Experience risk independently so that higher severity violations carry more weight than cosmetic issues.
  • Each category is scored separately and unaffected by changes in other categories, giving you a stable indicator of true platform health without false shifts.

For the complete calculation model and category weights, see Platform Health score calculation model.

Instance adoption risk

  • An assessment of the risk of adopting the latest ServiceNow instance version.
  • Risk factors are identified based on the current state of your instance's platform health, including quality, compliance, security, and other standards.
  • The three levels of adoption risk are low, medium, and high.

Cost and time savings from remediation

  • Reflects the cost savings and time savings your organization has gained by remediating findings through the Scan Engine.
  • Cost savings are based on avoided downtime, prevented data breach expenses, and other remediation benefits.
  • The chart shows current cost and time savings, as well as trends over time.
