How much of your business
runs through you?
Four questions, one per area in which dependency builds up. Two minutes, no email field. At the end you get your own answers back, sorted into the same four areas the Owner Dependency Diagnostic measures.
If you were unreachable for four weeks: what would happen to day-to-day business?
Operational control
What share of day-to-day business runs through you?
Decisions
Which decisions need your sign-off?
Relationships
What share of revenue hangs on relationships bound to you rather than to your business?
Knowledge
Which business-critical knowledge exists only in your head?
The quick check rests on four self-reported answers. It shows you where to look, not how things actually stand. That is what the Owner Dependency Diagnostic does, from counted company data across the same four areas.
BTL OS scores six areas, from decision concentration to revenue dependency. Likewise an assessment, not a measurement, but at a far finer resolution than these four questions.

Read the areas
The summary names which of the four areas dependency sits in by your own assessment, and which it does not.
Test the assessment
A self-report and a measurement rarely land in the same place. The Owner Dependency Diagnostic captures the same four areas from company data.
Set the order
Only once it is settled where dependency actually sits can you sensibly decide what to tackle first.
