Prepared Dad Readiness Screen or HEFT Physical Battery.
The Prepared Dad Test combines 20 questions with a three-test physical screen: balance, push-ups, and burpees. It covers medical readiness, family plans, skills, sustainment, and physical capacity. HEFT (Hazard-Event Fitness Test) offers a broader physical battery. The three shared tests use the same protocols and scoring. Recent HEFT results for those three tests can be reused in Prepared Dad.
Preparedness isn't what you bought. It's what you can do at 2 a.m. with no notice. These checks examine several parts of readiness; they do not recreate an emergency or certify performance. Results save on this device, come back today or in six months and your history is here.
The Prepared Dad Test
~18 MINThe whole readiness check
Three physical tests: balance, push-ups, and burpees. Plus 20 questions across skills, medical, family playbook, and sustainment. Finds a likely priority worth examining. Recent HEFT results for these three tests can carry over without a retest.

HEFT, The Physical
A broader physical battery
A field profile of several physical capacities. Where defensible population norms exist, they are identified; elsewhere, disclosed field benchmarks are used. Pick the depth that fits the time you have right now. For progress tracking, retest under similar conditions after adequate recovery. Don't repeat maximal efforts when fatigued, ill, recently injured, or unsure whether exertion is appropriate. Every attempt logs to your history automatically.
