Example result
Moderate dependency
A business with some strong systems and two chains worth addressing before a sale.
Illustrative example only — a representative business scoring moderate overall, with Time and Pressure as the loudest chains. Your results will differ based on your answers.
Each of the 12 questions maps to one chain. You answer on a five-point scale from “runs smoothly without me” to “would stop completely.” The diagnostic then calculates:
A chain is anything that ties your business value to you personally - rather than to the business itself. Every chain reduces what a buyer will pay. The 12 Chains Audit identifies yours and calculates what they're costing you - in time, in growth, and at exit.
