The Owner's Dependency Audit
An interactive 7-question assessment tool designed for business owners to measure their 'Operational Entanglement', how much their business relies on them personally vs. their team and systems. It categorises users based on their dependency score and drives them to a tailored call-to-action.
The Cost of Over-Functioning Calculator
The Cost of Over-Functioning Calculator is an interactive assessment tool designed for leaders and managers to quantify the financial and energetic costs of failing to delegate. By inputting annual compensation, profit, and hours lost to rescuing teams, decision bottlenecks, and mental rumination, the tool calculates an Effective Hourly Rate (EHR), annual financial waste, and personal energy tax. It provides real-time, dynamic feedback, explicitly highlighting when a user's behaviour is sabotaging their company's scale.
Inner Load Index™
You can still be performing well on the outside while carrying far more internally than you realise.
Pressure, unresolved emotion, constant responsiveness and repeated patterns can quietly consume the very capacity you rely on to think clearly, recover well and choose deliberately.
The Inner Load Index™ helps you see where that load may be sitting across three areas: Awareness, Regulation and Agency.
In around two minutes, you’ll get a clearer picture of how much of your internal capacity is being used simply to manage what you’re carrying, and where that may be starting to affect your decisions, energy, relationships and sense of choice.
The question is not simply: “Can I keep going?”
It is: “What is it costing me to operate this way?”
