What's your Business Altitude Score (BA-Score)?
A business that can run for weeks without the owner is flying on autopilot. Most small businesses are still being hand-flown. The BA-Score tells you how close yours is to autopilot right now — and exactly which area to work on first.
- Grounded 0–39
- Taxiing 40–59
- Climbing 60–74
- Cruising 75–89
- Autopilot 90–100

Your BA-Score, your band from Grounded to Autopilot, and one thing to do this week. Twelve questions give an indicative score; the Full BA asks thirty.
Before you start
The BA-Score measures how the business runs — not whether it has a market. It won't tell you if demand, pricing or product quality are right. It tells you whether the business still depends on you for almost everything, or whether it's starting to run itself.
