Growth-Readiness Matrix©

A combined diagnostic that plots your business on the Novaris Growth-Readiness Matrix — how much you depend on founder involvement, against how much real growth opportunity exists to capture.

Before you begin

This combines two instruments: the Founder Dependency Index (8 sections) and a Growth Potential scorecard (1 section), 45 statements in total, about 12–15 minutes. Answer honestly based on how the business runs today, not how you would like it to run. Your answers will plot your business on the Novaris Growth-Readiness Matrix.

Scale used throughout: A = Rarely / Never true through E = Almost Always true of your business today.

Detailed Dimension Analysis

About this assessment: The Growth-Readiness Matrix combines two directional diagnostics developed by Novaris Transformation Lab — the Founder Dependency Index and a Growth Potential scorecard — to surface where an SME sits between organisational readiness and market opportunity. It is designed as a starting point for a structured organisational transformation engagement, not as a certified psychometric instrument.
