Founder Independence Diagnostic

How much of your business still depends on you?

In eight minutes, identify where your company relies on you, its weakest organizational domain, and what to address first.

What it examines

Six organizational domains that reveal where the business still depends on you.

01

Vision & Direction

Is the company’s direction clear, shared, and used to guide real decisions?

02

People & Ownership

Are the right people in clear roles with real ownership, authority, and accountability?

03

Process & Systems

Can important work be taught, repeated, measured, and improved?

04

Data & Visibility

Can leaders see performance early enough to make better decisions?

05

Execution & Traction

Does the company follow a consistent rhythm of priorities, review, and accountability?

06

Issues & Adaptation

Can the team surface root issues, solve them, learn, and adapt as conditions change?

A separate factor

Founder Change Readiness

Your willingness and readiness to transfer ownership is distinct from the company’s current operating capacity. The diagnostic considers both: what the organization can carry today and whether its founder is prepared to lead the changes independence requires.

What you receive

A useful starting point—not a generic score.

Receive an Organizational Independence Score, your primary and secondary constraints, a strength to build from, and a practical first step.

This is a structured starting point—not a scientific assessment or substitute for professional business diagnosis.

You can review the findings with Michael, beginning with your actual constraints instead of a generic sales script.
