The Systems Check is a $49, ten-minute check of your tools and how work gets done. You list what you pay for and what lives in people's heads. You get a plan, in order: what to write down first, what to automate, and what to cut. It ends with Situation, Action, Outcome: what's true, what to do, what you get.
What it looks for

The Systems part, up close.

Tools only one person knows.

Ranked by what breaks if that person is out.

How-tos that live in someone's head.

Each one becomes a guide to write, with an owner and a due date.

Where people go when something breaks.

If the answer is you, the first move is to give them somewhere else to go.

Work typed twice.

Each one gets a fix by name: a Zapier step, a built-in link between tools, or an AI helper. Plus a list of tools you pay for twice, so you can cut one.

What you answer

About ten questions. Here are four.

These are about your tools, how work gets done, and what still depends on you. Plus a few about you and your company: what you do, how many people, and why today.

  1. 01

    Which tasks live only in someone's head? Whose?

    One per line: "Closing out a job: ops lead."

  2. 02

    What gets typed in twice? Think of info copied by hand from one tool to another.

  3. 03

    Think of the last time someone important was out for a week. What happened?

  4. 04

    What's one thing you'd automate if you knew how?

What you get

A plan, in order, with someone in charge of every line.

  • A score and a color

    One to ten. Ten means it runs without you. Red, yellow, or green.

  • What breaks when you step away

    What's written down, what's only in someone's head, and what to write down first.

  • What to do, in order

    Five to seven moves. Number one is your Monday move. Each one has a first step.

  • Someone in charge of every line

    You, a role on your team, a computer, or nobody, because you should stop doing it.

  • Situation, Action, Outcome

    It ends with what's true, what to do, and what you get. What changes in 30 days and in 90.

  • How-to guides for your team

    Every move that repeats comes out as a short how-to. Download them. Drop them into Flowformance.

Questions

About the Systems Check.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes to answer. Your answers save as you go. Your report is ready about two minutes after you pay, and we email you the link.

Do I need to list every tool?

List what you pay for. Rough costs are fine. One line each. It grades your tools for your size, not for a 500-person company.

Does a person read my answers?

Only if you buy With Ben. Everything else is read by a system I built from the way I read companies. Your answers are stored encrypted. They are never used to train anything.

Can I upgrade?

Yes. Every report has an upgrade button. Your $49 comes off the Founder Read, which covers all three parts.

Who is it for?

Founders and the people who run things, at companies of 1 to 200 people.

More quick checks

Something else hurts more?

Ten minutes from now, you'll know what breaks without you.

What's written down, what's in someone's head, and what breaks when you step away.
