The Business Systems Assessment for growing businesses.Built for 5 to 50 employees, not enterprise IT.
Most readiness assessments are built for enterprise IT: governance committees, cloud programs, security frameworks, and transformation roadmaps. This one is built for owners and operators. In 28 questions, it scores the seven areas where growing businesses most often lose time, money, and visibility, then identifies the area we would examine first. No technical knowledge required.
Who this is for, and who it isn't
This is for established businesses with paying customers, repeatable work, and a team: contractors and local services, law firms, agencies, real estate offices, e-commerce companies, and small manufacturers.
It is not an enterprise technology assessment. If you run a large organization with dedicated IT, security, and procurement teams, you need a different framework. It is also not designed for pre-revenue startups or solo founders who do not yet have repeatable workflows to assess.
What you get, and what we ask for
After the last question, you'll enter your name, email, business name, industry, and team size. Your results appear immediately on this page: a score for each of the seven areas, your strongest area, your biggest gap, and what to examine first.
We receive your answers so we can review them before any Business Systems Review you choose to book. We do not sell your information, and submitting the assessment does not add you to marketing emails unless you separately opt in to the Field Report.
How strong are the systems behind your business?
Twenty-eight questions across the seven areas where growing businesses quietly lose time, money, and visibility. No technical knowledge required.

Built for established businesses with roughly 5 to 50 employees. If that is not you, the score may still be useful, but it will be less specific to your situation.
What the score means
The maximum score is 56.
42 to 56: Strong foundation. Your systems are generally consistent enough to support improvement. The work is deciding which two or three changes create the strongest business case.
24 to 41: Partly systemized. Some areas are ready to improve now while others need a stronger process first. Start with the weakest area and work in sequence.
Below 24: Strengthen the process first. The biggest gains are likely to come from ownership, documentation, handoffs, and basic operating discipline before adding more tools.
The scoring is intentionally blunt. Every question asks what the operation does today, not what the policy says should happen. Answer based on a normal Tuesday, not the ideal version of the process.
What happens after
Nothing, unless you want it to. The score and gap readout are yours either way. If you want someone to pressure-test the result, the next step is a Business Systems Review. If the issues are significant enough to justify deeper work, a Business Systems Diagnostic maps your actual workflows, numbers, bottlenecks, and priorities. If lead intake is the obvious leak, the Missed Call Cost Calculator can put a conservative dollar estimate on one part of it using your own call volume and average ticket.
