Owner Independence
How much recurring work, approval and problem-solving still returns to the owner.
The Transferable Firm Diagnostic™
Measure where essential knowledge, decisions, authority and relationships still rest with the owner—then receive a prioritized 90-day action path.
The hidden exposure
A company may be established and respected while remaining dependent on the owner’s presence, memory, judgment and relationships.
If ownership became unavailable tomorrow, what would slow down, become uncertain or stop?
What gets measured
The Diagnostic examines whether critical work, judgment and authority belong to the firm rather than one individual.
How much recurring work, approval and problem-solving still returns to the owner.
Whether another person holds the information, readiness and authority needed to lead.
Whether recurring decisions have a named owner, written standard and defined authority limit.
Whether essential work has an assigned owner, usable procedure and trained backup.
Where important experience, judgment and institutional knowledge remain concentrated.
Whether important customer, vendor and professional relationships belong to the firm.
Whether financial information, emergency access and temporary authority remain available during an owner’s absence.
