The Knowledge Risk Audit™ helps founder-led, knowledge-heavy small to medium sized businesses find where critical decisions, client context, delivery standards, and operating know-how are trapped in the heads of the founder and a few indispensable people...then shows what to fix first so the business can run with less dependency, fewer escalations, and more consistent execution.
Founders typically start this conversation after a key person leaves, an attempt to delegate goes awry, or a delivery problem exposes how much of the business still lives in one person's head.
