The Growth Blindspot Indicator is a structured self-reflection that maps 33 of the reasons businesses fail to scale — across six disciplines and three tiers of risk. See where you stand today, and what to work on first.
A fast read on your five existential risks — the issues that can quietly kill a business. No sign-up to start, and your result appears on screen.
Start the quick checkYour complete profile across all six disciplines, a readiness radar, and your five biggest blind spots — each with what good looks like and where to start. Sent to you as a report.
Do the full GBINot sure? Start with the quick check — you can extend to the full review anytime, and we'll carry your answers across so you're not starting over.
Each question is scored one to five against three plain descriptions of your business — from "not in place", through "developing", to "what good looks like". No jargon, no right answers to game.
The right people in the right seats — and a leader who isn't the bottleneck.
Cash, working capital, margins, and the discipline behind the numbers.
Clarity of direction, and a plan the whole business can act on.
How you lead yourself, and others, when the pressure is on.
The systems and processes that let the business run without you.
Customers, pricing, concentration, and how you win the right work.
Your overall score weights the existential questions at double — because a cash crisis or a leader bottleneck can't be offset by doing everything else well.
Cash crises, key-person dependency, strategic drift. These carry double weight — strong scores elsewhere cannot cancel them out.
Weak systems, management gaps, culture drift. Left alone they don't stay the same size — they get worse and pull everything else down.
Real costs to the business, but usually caused by Tier 1 and 2 issues. Fix the tiers above and many of these improve on their own.
Your report shows an overall readiness score, a radar across the six disciplines, and your five biggest blind spots. This is a preview — your own numbers will differ.
What good looks like: you actively manage your cash conversion cycle — debtor days, stock turn and creditor terms are tracked and deliberately improved.

The Growth Blindspot Indicator is a structured self-reflection, not a validated psychometric. The scores are prompts for better conversations and clearer priorities — not a diagnosis. Their value is in the honesty you bring to them and the actions you take next.
