The Culture Code node shows your *Culture Code Score *and the perceived [Effectiveness and Relevance](docId\:AJoIO1JiCL8JEiji1bgFs) of the Culture Code:
## Culture Code Score
Your *Culture Code Score* is a measure of how well the Culture Code is working. It is a [Node Rollup score](docId\:C5-fBumyYBGYzL_Hix6YB) for all the questions in your Salpulse Survey that relate to the Culture Code.
## Interpreting the Results
If your *Perceived Effectiveness* score is **green**, this indicates that your Culture Code is being well-lived within the organisation. Well done. But you need to also review your *Perceived Relevance* score (see below), because you could be really effective at focusing on things that no longer matter! If your *Perceived Effectiveness* score drops into the **amber** or **red**, then use the *Navigation Tree* to drill down into the *Perceived Effectiveness *scores for the individual Culture Code components to find out which component(s) are dragging the score down. Often, an intervention workshop (eg: for a particular value) can resolve the problem. These workshops work best if you have detailed behavioural preference analytics data for individuals and teams, so people can understand how their behavioural preferences are impacting the culture.
Over time, your Culture Code might get a bit stale and no longer fully serve the organisation's purpose. If you've done a good job of [co-creating your Culture Code](docId\:ODuOxjdX5YdzcoNLaZblJ), it should stay relevant for many years. However, if your *Perceived Relevance *Score drops into the **amber** or **red**, then it might be time to tweak or overhaul your Culture Code. Use the *Navigation Tree* to drill down into the *Perceived Relevance *scores for the individual Culture Code components to see if there is one element dragging the score down (in which case a tweak is probably in order) or if it's low across the board (in which case you might consider a complete Culture Code refresh).
