The confusion, loss of structure, and quiet drift that follow a successful exit rarely show up in spreadsheets.
They show up later, when the business is gone and nothing has replaced it yet.
This private assessment helps you understand where the exit is most likely to destabilize you while you still have the ability to act intentionally.
One important thing before you begin.
This is not a quiz.
It does not evaluate your competence or preparedness.
And it does not tell you what you should do next.
Founders use this assessment to get orientation, not answers.
It highlights where the exit is most likely to create friction across identity, relationships, work, finances, and meaning if left unaddressed.
Many of these risks only become obvious after the deal closes, when it’s harder to course-correct.
If you’re expecting clarity to arrive on its own after the transaction, this may feel uncomfortable.
If you’d rather understand what you’re exiting to with your current strategy, this will be useful.
Discover how prepared you are for your transition with our Exit Readiness Assessment. This tool evaluates key areas of your exit strategy, helping you gain the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with purpose and fulfillment.
Our comprehensive Exit Readiness Assessment is designed to measure your preparedness across key areas, ensuring you can move forward with confidence, clarity, and a sense of fulfillment.
Most founders exit believing the hard part is over.
In reality, the transaction removes structure faster than it creates clarity.
This assessment helps you see:
Where your identity may be too tightly bound to the business
Where financial assumptions could create future pressure or re-entry risk
Where the company may still depend on you more than you realize
Where relationships may be misaligned heading into the transition
Where legacy and contribution are still undefined
Where the absence of structure after exit could lead to drift, overcommitment, or regret
Nothing here is judgmental.
But it is honest.


WHY THIS MATTERS NOW (NOT LATER)
Most founders tell themselves they’ll “take time off” and figure it out later.
But most founders haven’t taken six consecutive days off in years, let alone six months of unstructured time.
Without direction, unstructured freedom doesn’t feel like rest.
It feels like disorientation.
The earlier you understand where the exit may destabilize you, the more optionality you retain. Waiting until after the transaction narrows choices and increases reactivity.
After completing the assessment, you’ll receive a personalized snapshot showing:
Areas where preparation is strong
Areas where assumptions may be creating exposure
Where finish-line thinking may be hiding real risk
What deserves attention before the exit defines your next chapter by default
This is not a diagnosis.
It’s a map.
You are not required to speak with anyone.
Some founders review their results privately and take action on their own.
Others choose a short, private conversation to help interpret what surfaced and what it suggests about what they are exiting to.
If you choose that option, it is framed as orientation, not a pitch.
