Founder Dependency Score · Free assessment
How dependent is your business on you?
Find out what would stop moving if you disappeared for two weeks. Get a clear dependency score, an estimated founder-free capacity, and focused next actions in 3–5 minutes.
Free to take. No preparation required. Built for founder-led teams of 5–50.

What the score measures
Dependency hides in the operating system.
Revenue can be healthy while the founder remains the default approver, relationship owner, knowledge base, and escalation path. The assessment makes that invisible load visible.
