The Founder Dependence Index
Twelve questions. One number. It scores how much of the business runs on you, and where AI would take the load off first. The lower the score, the more the business is an asset that sells without you in it.
Where the dependence concentrates
Each dimension scored 0 (runs without you) to 100 (always you). Sales and institutional knowledge are weighted highest because they move transferable enterprise value the most. The two highlighted bars are your leverage points, the dimensions carrying the most owner-dependence.
What AI would offload first
Each play maps to the dimension carrying the most owner-dependence. These are the kinds of installs Works runs in practice, not generated advice. The Audit confirms which one moves your number most.
A chat tool answers when you prompt it. The difference here is an installed brain: your context, retrieval and decision rules wired into how the team works, so the answer is there without you. This is a directional self-assessment, not a valuation. It reflects your own read of how dependent the business is on you, which is useful for spotting the gap but is not an audited measure.
