What gets overlooked

You built a business that works. Look at what still needs you in the room: an old system, an agreement nobody has reread, a process only you can explain. Review the records, responsibilities and handoffs before deciding what comes next.

What you get

Value assessment
A plain-language review of how ready your business is to hand off and what stands in the way.
Fix scan
A look across systems, agreements and responsibilities that could stand in the way of a handoff.
A short priority list
The fixes to consider first, ranked by effort, cost and relevance to the handoff.
If you want help carrying them out, I can stay on as a fractional executive.

Twelve areas. One fix scan.

Look across the work, the records and the handoffs.
