This business scaling assessment asks you to rate twelve statements about how your company runs right now, three each for leadership, people, process, and profit. It takes a few minutes, nothing leaves this page unless you choose to send it, and the result shows a total for each of the four areas.
Rate each statement from 1 to 5. A 1 means the statement is rarely true in your company, and a 5 means it is consistently true. Answer for how things run today, not how you want them to run.
The scorecard moves through four areas, three statements at a time. Once all twelve are rated, you see a total out of 15 for each area and a short description built only from your answers.
It is written for business owners, CEOs, and the leaders who run a company day to day. Leaders who share the running of the company can each take it separately.
This is a self-assessment for your own reflection. The totals are not a validated score, a benchmark, or a prediction.
Rate all twelve statements below, then send your ratings to Tony's team with the form at the bottom of this page.
Rate all three statements in this area to continue.
Each total is the sum of your three ratings in that area, from 3 to 15. Read the areas one at a time, and look first at the single statement you rated lowest in each.
Lower ratings. Your ratings suggest the vision and most decisions still sit with you. Leadership alignment is a core theme in Tony's keynotes and consulting.
Mixed ratings. Your ratings are mixed. Some of the direction is shared, and some still depends on you being in the room. The gap is usually one or two specific decisions that still wait on you.
Higher ratings. Your ratings sit near the top of the scale. You see your leaders sharing the vision and making their own calls. A fair test is whether those leaders would rate these three statements the same way you did.
Lower ratings. Your ratings suggest ownership is unclear. Work gets handed off without the authority to finish it, or problems come to light late. Delegation and accountability are themes Tony speaks and consults on.
Mixed ratings. Some roles are clear and some are not. Ask where the gap shows up in a normal week: a stalled handoff, a missed number, or a problem found too late.
Higher ratings. You rated ownership and accountability as strong. A useful check is whether your managers would give the same ratings for their own teams.
Lower ratings. Your ratings suggest the company runs on memory. When the way work gets done lives in a few heads, growth puts more weight on those same people. Tony's book, The Business Scaling Blueprint, covers putting the systems in place that drive sustainable growth.
Mixed ratings. Some of your processes are written down and some are not. The difference usually shows the week someone is out or a new hire starts.
Higher ratings. You rated your systems as documented and able to run without you. The next question is who keeps those documents current as the company changes.
Lower ratings. Your ratings suggest you are not yet sure where profit comes from or what the numbers are saying. Tony's work with owners ties operations back to bottom-line results.
Mixed ratings. You have some view of profit, but reviewing it is not yet routine. Pick one review, weekly or monthly, and put it on the calendar first.
Higher ratings. You rated your view of profit as clear and regularly reviewed. Compare that rating with how the last year of sales growth actually showed up in profit.

The four areas come from the themes Tony DiSilvestro works on in his keynotes, workshops, and consulting: leadership alignment, delegation and accountability, systems, and profit. Each one links to the part of his work that goes deeper on it.
Whether the vision is shared by the people who lead, and whether decisions get made at the right level instead of waiting on the owner.
Leadership Development Training → 02Whether each person knows what they own, whether delegation carries real authority, and whether problems surface while they are still small.
Performance Management Consulting → 03Whether the way work gets done is written down, teachable to a new hire, and able to run for a week while the owner is away.
Business Systems Implementation → 04Whether the owner knows where profit comes from, reviews the numbers on a schedule, and sees sales growth turn into profit.
Profit Margin Improvement →The individual statements carry more information than the sums, so use them to decide what to talk about next.
In each area, note the one statement you rated lowest. That single line is more useful than the total, because it names a specific habit in your company.
Have two or three of your leaders take the same scorecard on their own. Where their ratings differ from yours, you have found a conversation the team has not had yet.
Paste your summary into the form below with a few lines about your company. Tony's team replies about fit and availability for consulting, a workshop, or a keynote.
Tony DiSilvestro is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, author, and systems strategist. His first ventures, at eight years old, were bulk candy sales at the beach and his mother's Mexican pottery stand. In the 30 years since, he has built more than 30 companies, led more than 450 people, and today owns the Ynot Italian restaurant group.
The four areas on this scorecard come from the themes he speaks and consults on: leadership alignment, delegation and accountability, systems, and profit.
Tony also brings these themes to conference stages as a keynote speaker for leadership teams and industry events.

The Business Scaling Blueprint is Tony's book for entrepreneurs. It covers how to avoid costly mistakes, build strong foundations, and put the systems in place that drive sustainable growth. If your Process ratings came in low, the book is a practical next read.
Short answers about the assessment itself, what it measures, and what happens to your ratings.
You rate twelve statements from 1 to 5, three each for leadership, people, process, and profit. When all twelve are rated, the page adds up each area to a total between 3 and 15 and shows a short description of what that range of ratings suggests.
Yes. There is no charge and no sign-up. You can take it as many times as you like, and each leader on your team can take it separately.
No. Your ratings stay in your browser and are not saved or sent. Tony's team only sees them if you paste your summary into the form at the bottom of the page and submit it.
No. The scorecard is a self-assessment built from your own view of your company. It is meant to start a focused conversation, not to grade your business or compare it with others.
Tony's team reads your summary and the details you share, then replies about fit and availability. Depending on what you need, that may point to consulting, a workshop for your leaders, or a keynote for an event.
Paste the summary from your scorecard into the message field and add a little context. The more specific you are about the area that concerns you most, the more useful the reply.
