Structured reviews for owner-managed businesses.
Civic Grove builds practical instruments for small and mid-sized firms — the kind of structured look a business rarely gets until someone outside asks for it.
The first is a review of how much of a business depends on its owner personally: the decisions that route through one person, the knowledge held only by them, the relationships that are theirs rather than the company's, and the records that would have to be produced if someone asked.

How much of your business depends on you?
A structured review, about fifteen minutes. You do not need to be planning anything — most owners who do this are not.
- No overall score and no grade.
- Questions ask what has happened, rather than asking you to rate yourself.
- Questions that do not apply to you are not asked.
- “I'm not sure” is on every question, and is left out of the calculation rather than counted against you.
What it is not. Not a valuation, a benchmark, a certification, or a recommendation about selling. The instrument is in draft and has not been tested against a founder sample.
