How long does this take?

A few short structured sessions across two to three weeks, run directly with the founder and a small number of team members.

Will this recommend hiring a senior leader?

Only if the diagnosis supports it. Founder dependency is more often a decision structure and information problem than a hiring problem.

Founder Dependency Diagnostic | Durvaa Innovations

The question this answers

If I disappeared for a week, would the business keep moving?

A precise map of exactly where and why the business still depends on you personally, control and information both. Before building the structure that changes that, you need a clear picture of exactly where and why the business still depends on you personally. We map that out precisely, in a few short sessions.

What you are probably seeing

Every meaningful decision, escalation and important sale still routes through you.
Delegation has been tried and the work quietly came back within a few weeks.
You cannot fully verify what is happening in the business without checking it yourself.

How Durvaa works through it

Map every recurring decision in the business and who actually makes it today.
Separate dependency of control from dependency of information, because the two need different fixes.
Identify which dependencies are structural and which are habit, and rank them by cost.

What you walk away with

A written dependency map covering decisions, escalations and information flow.
A clear read on which dependencies are structural and which are habit.
The order in which they can be removed without losing visibility or control.
