How long would your business run without you?

A week? A month? Most founders don't actually know, because they've never measured it. In 18 questions and about 4 minutes, you'll have your Founder Dependence Score and a clear picture of where your company still runs on you instead of your team.

1 scoreThat tells the truth

Your score reveals

  • How many decisions still route through you, and which ones shouldn't
  • Whether your leadership team owns outcomes or just executes tasks
  • What actually happens to the business when you step away
  • Where to start if you want the company to run without you
Sound familiar?

Capable team. Still, everything ends up on your desk.

You hired good people. The revenue is real. And yet the business still behaves like a one-person company with staff attached.

Every decision routes through you

Pricing exceptions, hiring calls, vendor approvals, that one customer email. Your team can execute, but anything that requires judgment still gets escalated to you.

Time off is a liability

A week away means a week of Slack pings and a backlog that takes two weeks to clear. You've stopped calling it vacation. It's remote work with a view.

The knowledge lives in your head

Who decides what, how things get approved, why it's done this way. None of it is written down, because it never had to be. You were always in the room.

None of this is a character flaw. It's a measurable, fixable structure problem.

What gets measured

One score. Four dimensions.

The diagnostic doesn't ask how you feel about delegation. It asks what actually happens in your business, then scores the gap between the two.

  • 1

    Decision routing

    How choices flow through the company, and how often they dead-end at your desk.

  • 2

    Team ownership

    Whether your leaders bring recommendations or bring problems.

  • 3

    Operational resilience

    What breaks when you're not in the building, and how quickly it breaks.

  • 4

    Knowledge concentration

    How much of the company's operating logic exists only in your head.

The diagnostic

Answer honestly. The score is only useful if it's true.

18 questions about how your business actually runs today, not how it's supposed to run. Your results and a breakdown of what they mean arrive in your inbox right after.

Who built this

Built by an operator, not a consultant.

"The frameworks I bring you aren't from a slide deck. I've built and run operations inside scaling businesses, and these are the same tools I use with the founders I advise."

This diagnostic uses the same decision-mapping approach as the Founder Handoff Blueprint, the 12-week engagement that turns founder-led chaos into a leadership team that owns the decisions. These are the questions I ask founders in our first week of working together, and the score tells you exactly what I'd be looking for.

What happens next

Three steps. No pressure at any of them.

Your Founder Dependence Score arrives in your inbox with a plain-language read on what it means and where you're most exposed.

3

Decide what to do with it

Act on it yourself, or book a call to walk through your results. Either way, you'll know exactly where your business stands.

You can't fix what you've never measured.

Every founder says the business depends on them too much. Very few can say by how much, where, and what to change first. Four minutes from now, you can.
