What This Assessment Gives You

Real scores. Real gaps. Immediately.

Not a personality quiz. Not a feel-good survey. A structured diagnostic that produces six scores you can act on — or hand to an advisor and say "here's where I am."

◆
EQI™ Composite Score
Your weighted Leadership Equilibrium Index — one number that captures the health of your leadership system at your revenue stage.
◈
Four Pillar Scores
Business Mastery, Personal Evolution, Physical Vitality, Purpose & Legacy — each scored 1–10 with a diagnostic summary.
◉
Founder Dependency Score (FDS™)
How dependent is the business on you personally? Scored red/yellow/green. Most founders don't like what they see.
△
Executive Vitality Risk Index (EVRI™)
Your personal sustainability score — weighted across sleep, recovery, stress response, and relational health.
▽
Leadership Blind Spot Score (LBSS)
The gap between what you say you value and how decisions are actually made. Drift starts here.
○
Visible Gap Profile
A results screen that makes the gaps visible — specific pillars, specific scores, no vague themes.

What this does not give you: No remediation plan, no financial modeling, no LEVI™ variance analysis, no PDF report, no team comparison. Those are part of the full engagement. This tool shows you where the gaps are. The full engagement shows you why — and exactly what to do about them.

Step 1 of 2

Select your stage.

Same four pillars. Questions calibrated to your specific revenue stage and leadership demands. Pick the one that matches where you are right now.

Founder Blueprint™
Pre-Revenue & Early Stage
Pre-revenue – $1M
"Am I building a company — or a job I can't quit?"
The founder operating system either gets built correctly now or calcifies into dependencies that cost exponentially more to fix at $5M and beyond.
32 Questions Free
Founder Foundation Diagnostic™
$1M – $5M Revenue
First scaling inflection
"I hired people but nothing got easier. What's actually broken?"
You are still the business. This diagnostic quantifies your dependency risk, burnout trajectory, and the structural gaps that will prevent you from scaling past $5M without a crisis.
40 Questions Free
Growth Diagnostic™
$5M – $20M Revenue
Scaling corridor
"Revenue is growing but everything feels harder. Why?"
The org is outpacing the leadership system. This diagnostic exposes the variance between where you are and where the organization needs you to be.
