Here’s exactly how we score it

Most people hide the method — it’s the “secret sauce.” We’ll show you the whole ruler instead, so when you score a 2 you’ll know precisely what a 4 looks like. Every answer scores from 0 to 4:

0Doesn’t exist — it’s all you
1Barely there, ad hoc
2Partly built, still needs you
3Mostly runs on its own
4Optimised — runs without you

The nine things we measure:

What owner-dependence actually costs

A business that can’t run without its owner isn’t worth what the owner thinks. It doesn’t fail dramatically — it just quietly leaks value: the leads that never get followed up, the work only you can do, the buyer who walks because there’s nothing to buy but you.

20–40%less, on average, that owner-dependent businesses sell for
Mostnever sell at all — there’s no asset to transfer
Every monththe gap keeps costing you, quietly, until it’s closed

Note: this score indicates how dependent your business is on you — it is not a valuation of your business. The figures above are general market patterns, not advice about your specific sale.

Proof, not promises

You don’t have to take my word for it

I’d rather show you the work than describe it. Here’s the same method, built into something you can actually click through.
