AH! Yes, I can certainly see what you mean now. I had misunderstood the
general context focusing too much on the phrasing, missing the
proverbial "forest for the trees". :)

The English snip you provided is actually a spot-on translation if
referring to actual health of the network (rather than representation of
organization), except I would replace "ways" with "way"(singular)- one
of those weird English quirks. If you replace that section, the rest of
the document should be accurate.
