Continuity test

Run a two-week decision handoff.

Route normal decisions through the designated leaders, record every escalation, and use the pattern to clarify authority, information, and coaching needs.

This diagnostic converts eight self-reported operating signals into a directional owner-independence score. It is designed for discussion and prioritization. It is not a valuation, risk certification, legal opinion, or professional assessment.
