Question 2 of 8
When you were last away for more than two days — what was the first thing that pulled you back in?
If you haven't been away in a while, that itself is data. Tell us what you imagine would happen.

Question 3 of 8
Name one person on your team who could handle a difficult client situation — without calling you.
If you can't name someone immediately, leave this blank. The blank is the answer.
How confident is your team in making decisions without you?
On most days, your team operates as if...
They know exactly what they're empowered to decide — and act accordingly.
They handle the obvious stuff — but check in when anything feels even slightly ambiguous.
Most decisions above "normal" work still come back to me, even ones I know they could handle.
The team is capable — but the structure doesn't let them operate independently yet.

Question 4 of 8
In the last month — what's one decision you made that you immediately thought: "someone else should have handled this."
Be specific. The more real the example, the sharper the diagnosis.

Question 5 of 8
When pressure hits your agency — a difficult client, a missed deadline, a scope fight — what actually happens?
Select everything that applies.
Select all that apply
Slack explodes — I get pulled into a thread trying to piece together what happened
My team handles the first response, but I end up making the final call
Different team members give the client inconsistent messages because there's no unified response
I find out about it too late — after it's already escalated further than it needed to
We improvise every time — there's no defined process for handling this type of situation

Question 6 of 8
Have you tried to solve the dependency problem before?
Most founders have. Tell us what you tried and what happened.
Select all that apply
Hired more senior people / HODs — helped with normal work, didn't fix the bottleneck
Built SOPs or Notion docs — used for a few weeks, then ignored
Worked with a mentor or consultant — good framework, hard to implement in our specific context
Tried AI tools / automations — helped at the edges, didn't touch the core problem
Haven't tried anything structured yet — just been managing it

If this problem is still here in 12 months — what does that actually cost you?
Not just financially. What do you not get to do? What doesn't get built?

The Founder Dependency Audit takes these findings and builds a working system — decision authority framework, escalation architecture, and an AI layer to keep it from decaying. Starting the day the audit ends.
