Ten minutes of homework.

Two self-assessments, built from the same questions I ask on a first call.

Score them honestly and you’ll know which conversation to have with me, or whether you need one at all. No form, no email required. Print them, mark them up, and keep them.

Culture Snapshot

Is your culture helping the business execute, or working against it?

Twenty statements across six dimensions: trust, leadership and accountability, performance and pressure, strategy and alignment, structure and autonomy, and growth. Rate each one, add it up, and see where the friction actually is.

Two pages, about ten minutes
Scoring bands from Performance-Ready to Growth-Constraining
Works best when two people who don’t report to you score it too

Owner Dependence Self-Rating

How much of the business is really you?

Six places a company can depend on its owner more than a buyer, a lender, or a successor would like: decisions, customers, know-how, the bench, key people, and suppliers. Rate each one against plain-language descriptions and get a dependence band from Low to Severe, plus the usual fixes in the order they pay off.

Two pages, about ten minutes
Total of 6 to 30, banded Low to Severe
Worth doing two years before you think you’ll sell
