Founder Readiness Score

Are you ready to
work for yourself?

The Founder Readiness Score measures your current position on the path from employed to independent across three scored dimensions and one self-reported variable. The output is a score, a gap analysis, and a sequenced path.

PREREQUISITE

The Founder Readiness Score uses your Career Architecture Score as an input. You must complete Career Architecture before generating this score. If you have already done so, you can generate your Founder Readiness Score from your dashboard.

Output 01

Founder Readiness Score (0 to 100)

A composite score across Human Capital, Market Readiness, and Delivery Capacity. Placed into one of four readiness tiers: Ready to Launch, Accelerating, Building Foundation, or Early Stage.

Output 02

Gap analysis

The specific gaps between your current position and a viable independent practice, each with a targeted action and a realistic timeline.

Output 03

Recommended path

A three-step sequenced path: what to do first, what the three-month goal is, and what a successful 12-month outcome looks like for your profile.

The four dimensions

Human Capital

Your Indispensability Ratio and Career Architecture Score combined. Reflects how transferable your expertise is across organizations and commercial contexts.

Market Readiness

Whether you have warm relationships with potential clients and a visible body of work that signals your expertise. The two highest-return inputs to early independent revenue.

Delivery Capacity

Whether you have proven experience owning high-stakes, client-facing outcomes independently. Reflects consequence ownership, trust, and years of relevant experience.

Financial Runway

Not scored, but entered by you. How many months of expenses you can cover without income. This variable shapes every timeline and risk tolerance recommendation in your path.
