5-Minute Diagnostic

The Growth Readiness Assessment.

A short diagnostic for founder-led firms ready to professionalize. You answer a focused set of questions; you get back a custom report showing exactly where operational drag is slowing growth — and the highest-leverage moves to make next.

Most founders running $3M–$15M firms hit the same wall: the systems that got them here weren’t built for what’s next. Revenue is up, the team has grown, but financial visibility is fuzzy, decisions still funnel through the founder, and the operating model creaks under every new client win.

The Growth Readiness Assessment is built around the same operating architecture we install for clients in $6,000/mo engagements. It looks at four layers — financial clarity, leadership structure, go-to-market discipline, and AI-enabled workflows — and surfaces where each one is helping or hurting growth right now.

It’s built for founders who already know something is off but can’t see it clearly from inside the seat. Five minutes in; a written report back within 24 hours.

What you’ll learn

  • Where your financial visibility is creating decision lag — and the specific reports missing from your operating cadence
  • Whether your leadership structure is reducing or amplifying founder dependency
  • How sharply your ideal customer profile and positioning are aligned with the work you actually want more of
  • Which operating workflows are ready for AI-enabled leverage today versus next year
  • The two or three highest-leverage moves to make in the next 90 days
  • Where your firm sits against benchmarks from founder-led firms at the same revenue band
  • Whether prism+spire is the right partner for the next stage — or whether you are better off solo for now

You’ll get a custom report in your inbox within 24 hours. No sales call required; we’ll only follow up if you ask.
