  "content": "# Owner-Dependency Audit\n\n**Tool ID:** T207-01  \n**Block:** B207 (Succession Planning)  \n**Format:** audit  \n**Primary user:** Owner or advisor  \n**Usage moment:** At the start of succession planning and annually  \n**Expected output:** Audit of critical owner dependencies\n\n## What This Tool Is For\n\nShows exactly where the business still relies on the owner’s memory, relationships, approvals, or daily presence.\n\n## How To Use It\n\n1. List every critical operating, commercial, and people dependency\n2. Mark whether it sits with the owner alone or is shared\n3. Score the business risk if the owner vanished for 30 days\n4. Use the audit to decide the first delegation priorities\n\n## Working Sheet\n\n**Dependency audit**\n\n| Dependency area | Owner only/shared | Risk if absent | Current backup | Priority |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\n## Review Prompts\n\n- Where is the owner still the single point of failure?\n- Which dependency is emotional rather than truly necessary?\n- What should be documented or delegated first?\n\n## Failure Warning\n\n**Risk:** The audit becomes descriptive and never turns into priorities.\n\n**Prevention:** Use it in the live workflow with one owner and one review moment.\n\n**If it breaks:** re-run one real cycle and tighten the fields to what the team will actually maintain.",
