SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your holiday is really just
remote work with worse WiFi.
You know something is wrong. You just can't name it precisely enough to fix it. The business runs - but it runs through you. Every decision has a path back to your phone. Every key client wants you personally. Every process lives in someone's head, and that head is yours.
This isn't a people problem. It isn't a strategy problem. It's a design problem. And design problems have specific, fixable causes, once someone maps them.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You're the founder
keeping everything together.
✓ You run a founder-led business doing $2M–$20M in revenue
✓ You have a team of 8–40 people who are capable - but still come to you
✓ You're in professional services, tech, engineering, or a similar field
✓ You're ready to do something about it - not just think about it
This is not for you if you're in startup mode, pre-revenue, or looking for general business coaching. The Audit is a precision diagnostic, it works when there's a real business to map.
THE 90 MINUTES
Exactly what happens
in the session.
No discovery. No throat-clearing. No slides about coaching frameworks. We get straight to your business. Here's how the 90 minutes are structured:
01
MAP YOUR DEPENDENCY
We score your business independently across all six vectors of the Founder Dependency Index™ - Revenue, Relationships, Decisions, Systems, Culture, and Knowledge.
02
IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSES
We go deeper than the symptoms. Why is the dependency there? What specifically needs to change? Not in general - in your business, with your team, at your stage.
03
PRIORITISE WHAT’S FIRST
The biggest mistake founders make is trying to fix everything. We identify your three highest-leverage actions, the changes that create the most freedom per effort.
04
DELIVER YOUR ROADMAP
Your written Freedom Roadmap is delivered the same day. A document, not notes from a conversation. Something you can act on tomorrow and hand to your team
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
An actionable, practical documented plan,
not just a conversation.

WHO DELIVERS THIS
Angela Sedran
FOUNDER SOVEREIGNTY ARCHITECT · THE BUSINESS RACE ENGINEER
Angela spent two decades inside some of the world's most demanding organisations - not advising from the outside, but doing the work from within. Strategy director for a global legal publisher. Senior consultant at BHP, Lion, Tip Top. Management systems implementation across mining, engineering, and professional services at Unilever, Vodafone, and Microsoft.
She has seen founder dependency up close, in organisations with hundreds of people, and in businesses with eight. The patterns are the same. The fixes are specific. She knows what to look for because she's been in the room when it goes wrong, and in the room when it gets fixed.
She is not a generalist coach. She is a precision diagnostician. There is a difference, and you'll notice it in the first twenty minutes.

LET'S ADDRESS IT DIRECTLY
The questions founders ask
before they book.
"I already know what my problems are."
Most founders know one or two symptoms. The Audit finds the root cause - and the single lever that unlocks the most freedom per effort. They are almost never the same thing. The founder who says "my problem is delegation" almost always has a decision-rights problem underneath it. The one who says "my problem is the team" almost always has a systems problem. Naming it correctly is half the fix.
"I don't have time for another consultant."
Understood. This is 90 minutes. Once. You walk out with a written document - not a six-month engagement, not a retainer, not a twelve-week programme unless you want one. The Audit stands alone. Most founders recover the 90 minutes in the first week just from understanding which decisions their team can now make without them.
"How do I know this is worth $997?"
One way to think about it: what does one month of operating at 80% capacity cost you? What does one key hire decision delayed by six months because you didn't have clarity cost you? What does one year of being the bottleneck cost you in revenue, in sanity, in the valuation a buyer would put on your business? The Audit costs $997. Operating in Founder Captivity costs significantly more, you just can't invoice it.
"Is this online? Can we do this remotely?"
Completely remote, delivered via Zoom. Angela works with founders across Australia and internationally. Your Freedom Roadmap is delivered digitally the same day. There's no reason geography should be a barrier to this conversation.

QUICK ANSWERS
Frequently asked.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BOOK?
You'll receive a confirmation with a short pre-session form, just a few questions to help Angela understand your business before the session. No homework. No lengthy intake process.
WHAT IF I’VE ALREADY DONE THE FREE FOUNDER CAPTIVITY SCORE?
The Captivity Score is based on your own self-assessment. The Founder Independence Audit is Angela's independent assessment of your business, her expert eyes, not your self-rating. The results are almost always different, and the specificity is significantly deeper. The Score shows you where to look. The Audit maps what's actually there.
IS THERE ANY COMMITMENT BEYOND THE 90 MINUTES ?
None. The Audit stands completely alone. Some founders choose to continue working with Angela after the session, but that is entirely your choice, and it is never assumed or pressured in the session itself.
WHEN DO I RECEIVE THE FREEDOM ROADMAP?
The same day as your session. Angela documents and sends your Freedom Roadmap within a few hours of the call.
CAN I BRING MY BUSINESS PARTNER OR OPERATIONS MANAGER?
Yes, and in many cases it's valuable to have your second-in-command in the room. Let Angela know when you book and she'll structure the session accordingly.
