Transferable Value Index
How much of your business runs without you?
I’m inviting my clients to take the Transferable Value Index. Twelve questions, about four minutes, and a personalized report lands in your inbox about thirty seconds after you finish.
Why I’m Sharing This
Every business lands somewhere on the map.
The Transferable Value Index measures how much of your company’s value lives in the business itself, and how much still lives in you. It isn’t a grade and there’s no passing score. It’s a snapshot of where you stand today.
I took it for my own practice. I’d like you to take it for yours, because where you land is one of the most useful starting points a coaching conversation can have.
What You’ll Get
A personalized report, about thirty seconds after you finish.
0–100
Your composite Transferable Value Score, one number for where you stand today.
2 dimensions
Business Durability and Owner Independence, each scored on the six questions behind it.

3 pages
A walk through all twelve of your answers and what each one means for transferable value.
The Map
Four quadrants. No wrong ones.
Owner-Dependent Success
Strong results, tied to you.
Transferable Enterprise
Value lives in the business.
Owner-Run Enterprise
The owner is the engine.
Emerging Enterprise
Runs without you, still building durability.
The two axes are Business Durability and Owner Independence. Plenty of excellent businesses sit in the owner-run and owner-dependent quadrants — the map doesn’t tell you what to do; it shows you where you’re standing, so the work we do together starts from reality. Knowing your quadrant turns a vague feeling about the business into something we can actually work on.
