I spent years at Deloitte analyzing operating models for enterprise clients. When I started my own one-person business, I realized I had no idea how to apply the same thinking to myself.
So I built a diagnostic that maps what I call "operational fragility" — how much your business depends on you personally being present and active.
The test covers 4 dimensions:
- Revenue Autonomy: does money move without your direct effort?
- Crisis Resilience: what's your documented response when you go offline?
- Operational Flow: are your processes systematized, or are you the system?
- Asset Compounding: are you building something that grows, or just delivering?
What I've found so far:
Most solopreneurs score in the WARNING range. The most common failure point is Revenue Autonomy — revenue that completely stops when the founder stops pushing.
The test is free, takes 2 minutes, and gives a personalized diagnosis report.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback on whether the questions accurately capture the fragility patterns you've seen in your own business.
