SOUND FAMILIAR?
You built a team to give you more capacity.
Somehow, the more people you hired... the busier you got.
You delegate it, then end up correcting or redoing it.
Your managers bring you problems, but not always a plan.
The same “quick questions” keep landing in Slack, DMs or your inbox.
You only find out performance is off after something has already gone wrong.
You can take time off, but you can’t fully switch off.
You are still the final decision-maker for way too much.
That isn’t a work-ethic problem. One or more parts of the leadership or operating system just hasn’t caught up with the size of the business. That’s what this quiz is designed to find.
THE FIVE AREAS
These are the five areas we look at
Your answers are scored in the background so we can identify the first constraint I'd work on.
01
Delegation + Supervision
Am I handing over the outcome and the standard, then supervising without taking the work back?
02
Systems + Clarity
Can the team find the answer without using me as Google?
03
Ownership + Accountability
Does one person own each important result, with a number that tells me if it’s on track?
04
Founder Freedom + Resilience
Can the business keep moving when I am not constantly available?
05
Manager Capability
Are my managers actually managing, or mostly reporting problems upward?

A QUICK NOTE FROM DYLAN
Hey, I'm Dylan.
At 22 I was leading a team of 100+ people and responsible for more than $100m in annual revenue. I had no idea what I was doing, which is basically how I became obsessed with leadership.
Now I help service business owners build stronger leaders, install clearer ownership and practical leadership systems so the business can scale without them babysitting everything.
This quiz uses the same principles I teach inside Founder Extraction.

A Few Quick Questions
Here's what we usually get asked
Is this just another random business score?
No. You’re going to get specific instructions based on your exact constraint right now. You’ll get one clear result, and a practical 30-day plan.
How long does it take?
About 3 minutes. There are 15 questions.
What do I get at the end?
One clear result, a practical diagnosis of what is keeping you too involved, and a 30-day plan for what to work on first.
Is this for a small team?
It is most useful once you have roughly 5+ staff and delegation, management, ownership and team systems are becoming the thing holding growth back.
