What you get
• Your dependence pattern, in plain language. Not a score out of 100.
•The system most likely asking for you right now.
• One move you can make this week.
• An honest line on whether a paid diagnostic is even the right next step.
What you don't get
• A valuation.
• A promise that “fixing this” raises your multiple.
• A six-pillar scorecard. That is the Diagnostic, and it takes evidence, not nine answers.
The Receipt
Practitioners often price formal key-person risk in a 10–25% range, with broader owner-dependence estimates of 30–50% once documentation, management depth, and concentration are included. Contested. Not a calculator. Not your number.
The quiz does not estimate a discount. It finds the operating condition buyers later argue about.

f you are pre-product-market-fit, take it anyway. Just know a paid diagnostic is usually too soon because you need spend and data to diagnose issues properly.
