These are the questions I ask in the first weeks inside a company, turned into five short reads you can take on your own. Each one works from your answers, not a generic score, and gives you something useful the same day: where the pressure is, what it's costing you, and one thing to do about it this week. Your results show on screen with no email required, and a copy is one click away if you want it.
Built for founder-led companies between $1 million and $10 million in revenue, with 10 to 75 people.
Do you need a fractional operating partner?
Twenty questions about how your week and your company actually work: the decisions that land on you, who owns the major functions, the numbers you trust, and whether you're ready to hand the day-to-day to someone else. You get a plain-language read on where the business is solid, where it's straining, and what your own time spent in the wrong seat is worth.
Start the checkWhere did your week actually go?
Sort last week's work by what you love and what you're better at than anyone you could hand it to. You'll see how many hours could move off your plate, how much of that is the day-to-day running of the business, and what those hours are worth.
Sort my weekWho really owns each part of your business?
Mark who owns each of fourteen parts of the company and get a one-page map: what sits on you, what keeps finding its way back to you, and what belongs to nobody at all, which usually means it lands on you anyway.
Map my companyWhat would a few small moves be worth?
Enter five rough numbers about your business and see what a modest, ordinary improvement on six levers is worth in dollars a year, biggest first, plus the cash you'd free up by getting paid a few days sooner. Every figure comes from your own numbers.
Find the moneyWhat would stall if one person were out for two weeks?
Go through twelve core processes and see which ones live in one person's head, which are written down in a way people actually use, and which would hurt if they stopped. It shows how many depend only on you.
Check my riskEvery result is built from what you tell it: your hours, your owners, your numbers, your processes. Nothing compares you to an industry average, because the question that matters is what's true inside your company, not how it stacks up against someone else's.
Each read ends with one thing you can do this week without anyone's help. If the picture you see raises more questions than it answers, that's usually the sign that a conversation is worth having.
Your answers stay in your browser. If you choose to email yourself a copy, I get one too, so that if we talk, we can start from where you already are.
Skip the tools and tell me directly. Thirty minutes is enough to tell whether an operating partner is what your company needs, and if it sounds like the seat I work in, we'll talk about the right first step.
