Your Growth Readiness Report
Your score across 3 critical scaling pillars, exactly where your operational bottlenecks live, and which of the 4 Founder Archetypes is currently running your business.
Your type
Every founder who takes the full assessment comes out as one of four.
Firefighter
Reactive. The business stops when your phone does. Your primary risk is immediate operational churn if you step away.
Operator
Some structure, but you're still the failsafe. Your primary risk is a growth plateau because you are the ultimate decision bottleneck.
Delegator
Real autonomy is building, but gaps remain. Your primary risk is 'key man dependency': investors see the momentum but don't trust the systems yet.
Owner
Board-ready. The business runs without you. You have successfully decoupled your personal time from the company's valuation.
The three areas, in detail
Most funded founders can't tell you, precisely, why their growth still depends on them. This is where we find out.
Market Focus
Do you actually know who buys and why, or is revenue arriving from wherever it happens to land?
“You can name your best-fit customer, why they buy, and which markets, messages, and channels reliably produce more of them, not just where your last few deals came from.”
Growth Engine
Is there a repeatable system for the team to run, or does closing still depend on your personal network and instincts?
“Your sales process is documented and owned by the team, so pricing, closing, and pipeline handoffs happen without routing through you.”
Founder Leverage
Can the business function without the CEO, or does everything stall the moment you are unreachable?
“Your leadership team decides and documents without you, and the business keeps moving, in metrics and in practice, when you genuinely step away.”
Question 1 of 15
For the next 10 questions, count “Consistently true” only if there's a documented process or system in place that handles it without your intervention, not just when it happens to go well.
We can clearly identify the type of customer that produces our strongest commercial results, and the customers we should not pursue.
78%
of companies that find product-market fit then fail to scale.
That's the gap this assessment is built to catch early.
