We put a number on how much the business needs you.
The Owner-Dependence Index scores six things about your operation into one number. The higher it sits, the more runs through you. We map it, name the workflows that can't go two weeks without you, and drive it down.
- 01Codified knowledge
How the place runs is written down and searchable, not living in your head and a few key people's.
- 02Bench strength
Trained backups who can cover the work when someone is out, so no single person is a single point of failure.
- 03Delegation
The routine runs without your yes on every exception; your team clears it and you review a short queue.
- 04Decision rights
Clear rules for who decides what, so the judgment calls don't bottleneck on you.
- 05Single source of truth
One place the numbers and the state actually live, not scattered across heads, inboxes, and tabs.
- 06Continuity
The business keeps moving when a key person steps away, on vacation, on leave, or for good.
From runs-on-you to runs-without-you
Every step moves work out of your head: first we make it visible, then repeatable, then owned by your team, automating the stable parts and monitoring the rest. The top rung is transferable: trained people run it without you.
Why the number matters
A high ODI is what keeps you in the middle of your own operation, working nights and weekends because the place can't run without you. Driving it down is what gives you back next Monday, and builds a business that keeps running when you step away.

We score your ODI in the AI Readiness Audit: six factors, one number, and the workflows that can't go two weeks without you, named. The plan to drive it down is yours whether or not we build it.
