Free operations audit · 2 minutes · nothing gated

How independent is your business from you?

Ten questions across the five dimensions that decide whether a business runs without its owner: documentation, delegation, project cadence, AI leverage, and where your time actually goes. A free operations audit you run yourself: your score appears immediately, no email required.

  1. 01 · Documentation

    If your three most critical processes had to run next week without you, how much is written down well enough for someone else to follow?

  2. 02 · Documentation

    When someone leaves the company, how much of their job walks out the door in their head?

  3. 03 · Delegation

    How many day-to-day decisions still route through you?

  4. 04 · Delegation

    Do your people know which decisions they are allowed to make without asking you?

  5. 05 · Project cadence

    Where does the true state of work live?

  6. 06 · Project cadence

    Do initiatives ship without you personally chasing them?

  7. 07 · AI & automation

    How much of your repetitive work (reports, drafts, data entry, scheduling) is automated or AI-assisted?

  8. 08 · AI & automation

    Does your team have shared, documented ways of using AI, or is it each person improvising?

  9. 09 · Owner time

    Could you take two full weeks off, unreachable, without the business wobbling?

  10. 10 · Owner time

    How much of your week goes to work only you can do: strategy, key relationships, the future?

About this free operations audit

Is the Operations Scorecard really free?

Yes. All ten questions and your full score are free and ungated: no email, no account, nothing to download. Your answers stay in your browser. The optional field at the end sends your score to Nick only if you choose to.

Is this a real operations audit?

It is a self-audit: a free operations audit you run on your own business in about two minutes, scoring owner independence across five dimensions. A full audit goes deeper, and a free fit call is the honest next step if your score worries you, but these ten questions point at the same weak spots a longer engagement would.

What should I do with my score?

Bring it to a free fit call. Each result band links to the service that usually moves it first, and the button on your result carries the score into the contact form so you do not have to retype it.

Who built the scorecard?

Nick Jones, founder of Eat Sleep Launch Repeat, an operating partner based in Flagstaff, Arizona. The five dimensions mirror the infrastructure ESLR installs for clients: documented SOPs, delegated decisions, a project cadence, AI leverage, and protected owner time.

An honest note: this is a self-audit, not a diagnosis. Ten questions cannot see your business, but they can show you where to look. Your answers stay in your browser; nothing is collected or sent anywhere unless you choose to send your score to Nick.
