How healthy are your HubSpot workflows?
Ten questions across ownership, conflict signals, audit cadence, and recent incidents. The audit returns a 0 to 100 workflow health score, a Healthy / Drift / Bloat / Crisis tier, your active workflow utilization compared to HubSpot's published cap for your tier, and the top three priority actions ranked by points lost.
Answer all 10 questions to see your score, cap utilization, and priority actions.

Where the benchmarks come from
Tier limits. HubSpot's published product-limits documentation: 300 active workflows on Marketing Hub Professional, 1,000 on Marketing Hub Enterprise, 400 on Operations Hub Starter, and 1,100 on Operations Hub Enterprise. Operations Hub Professional is set to 1,000 to match the standard mid-tier cap.
Audit cadence. Quarterly audit cadence is the consensus across HubSpot agency operators (Daeda, JetStack AI, and others). Portals that audit annually accumulate drift faster than they can ship new automation.
Conflict patterns. Lifecycle stage overwrites, re-enrollment loops, conflicting delays, and archived list references are documented in Daeda's HubSpot workflow conflict guide and JetStack AI's audit checklist as the top causes of silently-broken automation.
Dunamis model assumptions. Approaching cap at 80% of tier limit, critical at 95%. Scoring weights: ownership and documentation 30% (naming, team assignment, descriptions), conflict signals 30% (duplicate property writers, archived references, re-enrollment intent), audit cadence 20%, recent incidents 20%. Cadence and incidents are double-weighted because they correlate with downstream impact more reliably than any single hygiene signal. HubSpot supports team-level (asset-level) assignment for workflows, not per-workflow individual owners, so the team-assignment question is what stands in for ownership in the assessment.
Tier limits and conflict patterns are pulled from HubSpot's published documentation and HubSpot agency sources, both detailed in "Where the benchmarks come from" above.

Answers to the questions we actually get.
What does the workflow audit score?
Operations health across ten dimensions: ownership and review cadence, conflict signals (duplicate property writers, archived references, naming drift), audit cadence, recent incidents, error-rate visibility, naming and folder discipline, gating discipline (re-enrollment, exit conditions), the active-workflow count versus your tier cap, and the share of workflows that have not been touched in the past year. The total maps to a 0-to-100 score and one of four tiers: Healthy, Drift, Bloat, Crisis.
How does cap utilization factor in?
HubSpot publishes a per-tier cap on active workflows. The audit takes your active workflow count and your tier and reports utilization as a percentage. High utilization (above 80%) shifts your tier verdict toward Bloat or Crisis even when other dimensions look healthy, because being near the cap restricts your ability to ship new workflows without first archiving old ones.
What do the priority actions look like?
Three actions ranked by points lost. Each names the specific dimension (for example, 'Tighten ownership review cadence' or 'Resolve duplicate property writers'), explains why the dimension matters, and gives the next concrete step inside HubSpot to start fixing it. Priority actions are weighted to surface the highest-leverage fixes first, not just the lowest-scored questions.
Is this for one workflow or the whole portal?
Whole portal. The questions ask about your overall workflow operations rather than a single workflow's logic. If you want to dig into one specific workflow, the audit will not help. If you want to know whether your team's workflow practice as a whole is healthy or bloated, that is what this is for.
