The Dependency Audit

See what still comes back to you before you decide what to change.

You and your leaders answer the same forty statements separately. The Audit shows where your views differ and where the business still waits for you.

Eight areas

Forty statements across eight areas.

Each statement is scored 0 to 4. You answer separately from your leaders. Where your views differ, there is usually something worth understanding.

  • Owner Dependency

    What stops when you step away?

  • Leadership Layer

    Who leads when you are out?

  • Documentation

    What work is written down?

  • Accountability Cadence

    How do you know the work is done well?

  • Financial Visibility

    What do the numbers tell you?

  • Delivery Operations

    How reliably is work delivered?

  • People Systems

    How are people hired and held accountable?

  • Transferability

    What would a buyer find?

What you leave with

A clear view of where to start.

  • A Dependency Audit score across all eight areas.
  • A comparison of your view and your leaders' views.
  • The decisions and work that come back to you most often.
  • The risks that would show up if you stepped away.
  • A practical recommendation for what to address first, including whether a F.R.E.E.D. Build makes sense.

Investment

Priced by the size of the business.

$4,500 to $7,500

Where a business lands depends on team size, number of sites, and how regulated the business is.

If a F.R.E.E.D. Build starts within 60 days, the full Audit fee is credited toward it.

For founder-led businesses doing $2M to $25M, anywhere in the world
