The Delivery Dependency Audit
Find out how dependent your agency is on you, and what it's costing you. Answer honestly, it takes about five minutes, and your results appear the moment you're done.
For each statement, choose the answer that's actually true today, not the one you're aiming for.
0 / 30
Here's what that score means, and what tends to be true at each stage.
0 – 10 · Critical Dependency
Your agency runs on you
Right now, you are the delivery system, and that's a ceiling on growth, margin, and your own wellbeing. The risk isn't just burnout; it's that the business cannot operate without your direct involvement at every turn. This is fixable, but it needs to become your primary strategic focus.
11 – 20 · Moderate Dependency
You've built foundations, but too much still flows through you
You're likely hitting an invisible ceiling, one that shows up as a feeling of being perpetually busy without the business actually scaling. The next phase of growth requires untangling you from the delivery engine.
21 – 30 · Low Dependency
Your delivery operation is reasonably independent
You've done the hard work of building systems and developing your team. The focus now should be optimising for margin and speed, not firefighting. There are likely still one or two critical gaps worth addressing before you scale further.
Want to talk through what this means?
Whatever your score, the path forward starts with the same question: what would need to be true for your agency to run well without you? I read every result personally, if you'd like a second opinion on what's driving yours, let's talk.
