Stepping out of operations: the agency that runs without you

A complete track for the founder who still closes deals, approves deliverables and reviews payables. Includes an interactive delegation calculator that measures your current level of dependence and generates an exit plan by area.

Delegation calculator

How much of the operation still goes through you?

Adjust how many hours per week you still invest in each area. The calculator measures your operational dependence and identifies the 3 most critical areas to free up first.

Sales / Commercial
12h/week

"Do you still close the main deals personally?"

Operations / Delivery
18h/week

"Do you still approve critical deliverables before the client sees them?"

Finance
8h/week

"Do you still review every payable, invoice and cash flow?"

People / Management
6h/week

"Do you still hire, fire and manage the team climate directly?"

Strategy / Decision
10h/week

"Do you still make 90% of strategic decisions alone?"

27%
Almost out
54h/week still in operations
