What Is the Owner Freedom Score?
The Owner Freedom Score is the share of your shop's skills that someone other than the owner or a manager can do.
If you're the only one who can quote a complex job, fix the embroidery machine, or run payroll, your shop doesn't run without you. The Owner Freedom Score puts a number on that.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 95% and up | Healthy |
| 85% to 95% | Watch it |
| Under 85% | You are the backup plan |
Take an example shop with 16 people. It scored 86%, with 41 single points of failure and 31 skills only management could do. Training 1 team member on 20 marketing and laser engraving skills would move it to 95%.
