How Ready Is Your Business to Survive Without You?
You have spent decades building something real — customers who trust you, veterans who have been with you since the beginning, a reputation earned on the shop floor. Now comes the hardest question: if you were unreachable for 30 days, what actually happens?
This free self-assessment gives you an honest answer in about 10 minutes. Twenty-five statements across five dimensions — decision-making, knowledge systems, successor readiness, operations, and people. Score each one 1–5. Your results calculate automatically.
No sales call. Just you, the spreadsheet, and the truth.
Most owners land between 40 and 70 out of 125. That puts them in the red or orange zone — meaning succession will fail under real pressure without structured intervention.
The numbers that make you uncomfortable are the ones that matter most.
