Owner-Dependence Assessment

Could your business run 30 days without calling you?

Seven questions. Two minutes. You'll get four scores — owner dependence, revenue leakage, system documentation, succession readiness — computed only from your own answers, plus the three things to fix first.

Built for established owner-operated companies · Your answers stay private

The bill doesn’t arrive all at once.

It arrives as the call nobody returned, the quote that sat until Monday, the week you couldn’t take. None of it shows up as a line item — which is exactly why it keeps happening.

The call that waitsA lead reaches out at 4:40pm. You’re on a job. By the time you call back, they’ve booked someone else.

The week you can’t takeNot because the work stops — because the decisions do. Every approval still routes through one person.

What does a slow response actually cost?

Your numbers, your math. Nothing is sent anywhere — this runs entirely in your browser.

Average value of one job

Leads that go slow or cold each week

That’s roughly $0 a year in work you already paid to attract.

Straight multiplication — jobs × leads × 52. No industry averages, no assumptions about close rate. Your assessment goes deeper than this.

Three steps. No surprises.

Four scores. Each one answers a different question.

Not a grade. A map of where the business currently depends on you — and which dependency is costing you most right now.

Owner dependence

How much stops moving when you do. Measures approvals, pricing calls, and exceptions that still route through you alone.

Answers: Could I actually step away?

Revenue leakage

Work you already earned that quietly falls out — slow lead response, quotes that go unchased, follow-up nobody owns.

Answers: What am I losing without seeing it?

System documentation

Whether the way you do things lives in a system or in someone’s head. The gap between the two is what makes handoff hard.

Answers: Could someone else run this?

Succession readiness

How prepared the business is to transfer — to a manager, a family member, or a buyer — without losing value in the process.

Answers: What is this worth without me?

What it looks like when the business holds without you.

Someone else takes the callAnd makes the same decision you would have — because the rule is written down, not remembered.

The handoff is possibleTo a manager, your kid, or a buyer. A business that runs on systems transfers. One that runs on you doesn’t.

Before you start.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no obligation, and your scores appear immediately — no sales call required to see them.

How are the scores calculated?

Deterministic arithmetic over your own answers — nothing else. No benchmarks, no invented averages. Answer the same way twice and you'll get the same numbers twice.

Who is this built for?

Established owner-operated companies — typically 10+ years in business with a real team — whose owner wants to reduce daily dependence, prepare a handoff, or stop losing revenue the business already earns.

What happens with my answers?

They stay private. We use them to prepare your free Exit-Ready Review if you book one — never sold, shared, or used for anything else.
