The Scale Readiness Check · free · five minutes

Everything still depends on you. A buyer prices that first.

Why you are here. If you disappeared for two weeks, would the company still run, or would decisions stack up behind you? The revenue is real, the team is real, and the company still cannot run a full week without you. You know it, and so will anyone who looks closely: a buyer, a lender, an investor at the next round. Two companies with the same earnings do not fetch the same money. The one that runs on its founder gets priced as a job with a discount attached. The one that runs on structure gets the higher number.

Why answer these fifteen questions. Each one is something a buyer’s team checks in the first hour: whether the cash is boring, whether decisions wait for you, whether one customer is most of the business, whether the knowledge lives in a head or on a page. Answer them today and you will know which three to fix first, long before anyone is pricing you. Five minutes. Nothing to upload.

15 questions~5 minutesInstant score, and the three things to fix first

For founders past the raise, with real revenue, a team and a board, whose company cannot yet run a full week without them. Answer for what someone outside the company could check today, not what you could produce by Friday.

Illustration: a balance scale with two identical factories; the one standing on a foundation weighs more.
Two companies, the same earnings. The one that runs without its founder is worth more, and a buyer sees the difference in the first hour.
Fifteen questions. Three answers each.

Do you have it?

No means it does not exist, or nobody but you could produce it. Half means it exists but you would want a month before a board member read it. Have means someone outside the company could open it tonight and sign off on it.

How a buyer will read you

Build these three first

Your three weakest answers, in the order to fix them. Each one is a question a buyer’s team will ask, and the page that answers it before they do.

What to do with this

Four ways forward. Pick the one that fits your gap.

The free check told you what is missing. The Scale Read is me measuring the company with your team and your board, not just you, and telling you what to build first. The Scale Audit is the whole company, measured, with a roadmap. The book is for doing it yourself.

The free check

Your score, your camp, your three weakest pages, and how a buyer will read you today. Keep it. It is your before picture.

02 · The no-brainer

The Scale Read

$1,750 flat

The same five areas you just scored yourself on, scored by your leadership team and your board as well, so the answer is the company’s and not only yours. Inside five business days you get a written read: where the company is carrying you and where you are carrying it, the three weakest points named with the fix for each, and the order to build in. Then two working sessions, two weeks apart. The first to decide what you build first. The second to read what you built.

Outcome
the three things holding the company’s value down, named and in order, before a buyer names them.
Odds
a company priced as a company, not as a job with a discount attached.
Time
the written read in five business days; the whole thing in four weeks.
Cost
$1,750, flat. Less than one month of the discount founder-dependence puts on the price.
  • Mutual NDA both directions before I open anything; engagement terms accepted at checkout
  • No equity, no success fee, no percentage of anything
  • The Build Line™ and its twenty templates included
  • Scored by the team and the board, never by the founder alone

03 · The whole company

The Scale Audit

from $10K

When the gaps are bigger than a founder’s evenings: the whole company measured, not estimated, across your leadership team, with what is capping its value and a roadmap of what to build first, second and third and what each one is worth. It is the paid front door to working together, and it is credited toward the engagement if you go on.

  • The instrument run across the leadership team, not one person
  • A roadmap in order, with what each step is worth
  • Credited toward the engagement if you proceed

If the Scale Read is the better first step, I will say so.
