For how many of them does a named senior leader have at least a quarter of their time?

1. We have a 13-week cash view the leadership team trusts and reviews weekly.

2. If revenue came in 15% under plan next quarter, we know exactly which costs move first.

3. We hit our revenue plan in each of the last two quarters.

4. When we miss, we can name the cause within a week, and the team agrees on it.

5. If we closed a deal in the last 18 months, every integration decision has a named owner.

6. Decision rights between functions are clear enough that disputes rarely reach the CEO.

7. Every senior seat is filled by someone doing one job, not two.

8. If a key executive resigned tomorrow, we have a plan for the first 30 days.

9. Decisions that should not need the CEO rarely reach the CEO.

10. The leadership team could run the business for a month without the CEO.

11. Our numbers would hold up to a buyer's or investor's diligence today.
