Owner Coverage
Who else can run the owner’s work, and what evidence shows they can do it?
We maximize enterprise value for an exit in a post-AI world.
Within the Transfer Value Assessment
VGS: Can the value transfer?
Valuation-Grade Succession
We created VGS to examine what a buyer actually receives when a business changes hands. If customer accounts, essential decisions or AI workflows depend on the owner, some of that value may leave with them. VGS reviews the evidence to show what can continue, what remains dependent on particular people, and what needs to change.
One Assessment, two questions
VGS is the “Can the value transfer?” part of the Transfer Value Assessment. Day Two asks “Will it hold?” Both begin with one intake document completed by HR and the CFO using existing records. GrowFast reviews the evidence and validates the findings before releasing the report.
The report puts the dollar value at risk first, with a separate VGS score and Day Two score underneath. The scores are never added or averaged.
Explore the AssessmentFive Continuity Measures
The VGS review examines ten components. Nine are organized under these five confirmed measures. Buyer Disruption Cost is reviewed separately and feeds the before-and-after dollar analysis.
Account Continuity
Can customer accounts and revenue continue when the person managing them steps away?
Decision and Role Transfer
Are important decisions and responsibilities clear enough for others to take over?
Knowledge and Workflow Documentation
Can people find the knowledge, follow the process and perform the work independently?
AI: Real or Imaginary
Is the claimed value of AI demonstrated, and can its workflows run without the owner or their builder?
What makes a finding credible?
Each component rating is limited by its evidence: asserted supports up to 1, anecdotal up to 2, documented up to 3, and operationalized up to 4. Operationalized means the work runs in a system and has been demonstrated without the owner.
A written process is useful. Showing that another person can run it independently provides stronger evidence.
These ratings explain why value is or is not transferable. The VGS score in the Proof Pack is a separate number: the share of Adjusted EBITDA that holds up on this question.
See the evidence become a finding
The interactive example lets you change a component rating and its supporting evidence, then see the limit applied. The Assessment presentation follows Harbor Industrial Supply, an illustrative business, from its starting position to the modeled effect of improving account coverage.
