Six operational areas. One honest signal about you.

Each area is scored on its own. Your overall Business Readiness Score blends them by how much risk each one actually carries. The seventh section is reported separately: it's about you, not your systems.

The Succession Readiness Audit

Check every statement that's true right now, for this business, as it actually runs today. This isn't a grade, it's a map. Nobody sees this but you unless you choose to share it.

Before you start

This walks through seven sections, one at a time. In each one, check whatever is true:

  • Owner Dependence & Tribal Knowledge: what stops the day you stop showing up
  • Money, Pricing & Financials: whether the numbers exist outside your head, and would survive a buyer's accountant
  • Customers & Revenue Quality: who the customers belong to, and whether the revenue would transfer
  • Team & Leadership: whether anyone besides you can run the people
  • Systems & Tools: whether how work gets done exists anywhere besides memory
  • Legal, Licensing & Structure: what's tied to you personally instead of the business entity
  • Your Own Exit Readiness: whether you're actually ready to step back (not scored)
