The Founder Reality Check

Is your business an asset, or a job you can’t leave?

The Founder Reality Check measures how much your business depends on you — across five areas — and gives you a clear report on where you’re the bottleneck and what to do about it.

What it measures

Five areas of owner-dependence

Each one answers the same question: what would happen if you stepped away?

01

You

Decisions, time, presence, ability to step away.

02

Your Team

Whether people around you can decide, lead, and cover without you.

03

Your Systems

Documented process vs knowledge trapped in your head.

04

Your Money

Financial visibility — and whether anyone but you can read it.

05

Your Customers

Relationship dependency, concentration, and where new business comes from.

What the full report covers

Eight sections, one read

01

Your dependency tier and score

Where the business sits on the scale — Owner-Trapped through Owner-Independent — and the score behind it.

02

The self-awareness gap

What you believe about the business set against what your answers actually show. The blind spot, named.

03

Your dependency profile

The full picture across all five areas — weakest first, with the colour-coded read.

04

Your single biggest constraint

The one area holding the others back, in depth — what it looks like in practice, and why it’s the place to start.

05

Every red flag, with its first fix

Each exposed point: what it costs you, and the first concrete step to close it.

06

The cost of leaving it as it is

What owner-dependence takes from the business now — and where it leads over the next twelve months if nothing changes.

07

A 90-day plan, in sequence

Three thirty-day blocks: what to fix first, what follows, and what to leave until the foundation holds.

08

Tools you can use this week

Practical tools and templates matched to your situation — open, fill in, run.

Cost

Two paths to the same diagnosis

Path A — consultant

A senior operator

Spends a week inside the business, asks the same questions in different words, arrives at the same diagnosis.

$3,000 + your time
Plus calendar & travel

Two to three weeks before the read is in your hands.

Path B — the report

The Founder Reality Check, automated

Same diagnosis, same depth. The system you just took the check from generates the report.

$149
One-time

No subscription, no upsells, no calls.

What this is.

An automated diagnostic report. The Founder Reality Check engine takes your answers, runs the diagnostic across the five areas, and generates your report. Delivery is immediate after payment.

What this isn’t.

Not consulting. Not coaching. No one reviews your business. There is no call. There is no scheduling. The product is the report.
