Tools & Resources
Structural Advantage
Three diagnostics. The founder, the household, the company.
Where to Start
Free · Ten minutes
For Founders
The Structural Advantage Index
Reads the founder, not the business. Ten questions across three axes: leverage, clarity, and compounding. You get a triangle chart and an operator archetype that shows where your personal structure is helping or quietly limiting the company.
Free · Five minutes
For Households
The Household Diagnostic
Reads your personal financial architecture. Eighteen questions across seven structural pillars: obligations, fragility, capital, leverage, time, health, and network. You get a scored breakdown, a binding constraint, and an action plan.
Free · Fifteen to twenty minutes
For Businesses
The Structural Audit
An operator’s audit of the business across six dimensions: personnel, accounting and finance, software stack, AI readiness, sales and marketing, operations. Fifty questions, weighted scoring, industry benchmarks, risk-ranked output.
Not sure where to start?
Start with the Structural Advantage Index. Ten questions, ten minutes. It reads you before you read the business.
The Index reads the founder. The Household Diagnostic reads personal finance. The Audit reads the company. Same underlying thesis: outcomes are decided by structure, not effort. All three are free.
Six Dimensions of the Audit
Personnel & Org
Owner dependency, leadership depth, decision rights.
Accounting & Finance
Cash visibility, margin clarity, close discipline.
Software Stack
Systems of record, integration, data hygiene.
AI Readiness
Workflow maturity, data posture, leverage opportunity.
Sales & Marketing
Pipeline health, unit economics, repeatability.
Operations
Delivery reliability, process documentation, recovery.
Example Output
Your tightest constraint is Software Stack.
The Audit scores the company across six business dimensions, flags the highest-risk items by weighted gap, and ranks the opportunities where a focused quarter will move the score most. No subscription, no upsell, no credit card.
About the Framework
Most businesses treat operational friction as a people problem. It is usually a structure problem. A company can do $15M in revenue, post healthy margins, and still be structurally weak. The close takes three weeks, approvals die in the founder’s inbox, and the best salesperson’s process lives entirely in her head.
These tools are the starting point. They surface where the structure is thin. If the results show something worth fixing, a conversation about advisory is the next step.
