What's inside
What the Owner-Dependence Scorecard gives you
Sixteen checks across four sections
Demand, capture and follow-up, sales, and visibility. Four boxes each. You check what is true today, not what you intend to build.
The question underneath all of it
Not whether you work hard. Whether the work survives you stepping away. That is not a marketing problem, and marketing will not fix it.
Your score, and what it actually means
0 to 5 and the business runs through you, revenue rising and falling with your energy that week. 6 to 11 and you have systems in some places, leaks in others. 12 to 16 and you have real infrastructure to tighten.
The trapped operator against the 3D operator
Five side-by-side lines showing what changes: everything running through you becomes systems running without you, and follow-up stops depending on what you remember.
An honest read on what this is not
This is a diagnostic, not a strategy guide, and we do not promise growth. The number only helps you if you answer it honestly.
