The Clarity model scores everything the leading exit-planning methods cover, in one place.
| Clarity feature | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Evidence scale | Every item is rated by work actually completed, from "Not started" to "Reviewed and applied", so your score reflects progress rather than optimism. |
| Blind-Spot Rate | Anything you mark "Unknown" is reported separately. What you do not know is exactly what a buyer will find. |
| Weakest-Leg Rule | A strong business cannot hide an unready owner. Your overall tier is held near your weakest pillar until it improves. |
| Wealth Gap snapshot | Compares the proceeds you need with what the business may be worth today, as a starting point for your financial advisor. |
| Your first 90-day sprint | The report turns your lowest-scoring items into six dated actions with a lead for each, ready for your first coaching session. |
