Progress, measured against what?
The UK Government's Policy Lab maps 56 distinct types of government action onto a 7×8 grid — seven families of intervention, from softer, shared powers like Influence and Engage through to more formal state powers like Deliver and Control. Mark which of the 56 levers a real policy is actually using, and which it's quietly ignoring, and a pattern shows up fast: most policies lean on the same handful of familiar tools.
Click any cell to cycle it through three states — not used, used, deliberately not used — while the panel below shows that lever's full description. Two summary views update as you go: coverage by intervention family, and coverage across the softer→formal power spectrum — plus a plain-language read-out of the gaps.

Assessment Summary
Grid content (all 56 lever titles and descriptions, the two axes) is transcribed directly from UK Policy Lab / GOV.UK, "Introducing a 'Government as a System' toolkit," 6 March 2020 ↗, content licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 ↗. The three-state scoring interaction, the coverage bars and the gap read-out are original additions on top of that content, not part of the Policy Lab's own toolkit.
