Both give you a score and ranked priorities. The full version scores each dimension more precisely.
Five dimensions that decide whether a paving business makes money.
Every question lands in one of these five areas. Here is what each one covers, a question you'll actually be asked, and what a weak score there tends to cost.
Multiple choice, start to finish
Five plain-English answers per question. Nothing to type, no financials to look up.
Answer from what you already know
Every question is about how your business runs, not what a report says. Pick the closest match and move on.

- 01
Job Costing
How precisely you know what each job actually costs you.
6 questions · 2 in the quick version
A question you’ll see“When a job is halfway done, how well do you know its true cost?”
If this is weak: Without live job costs you find out a job lost money after it's closed — when nothing can be done about it.
- 02
Operations
How consistently work runs without the owner in the middle of it.
6 questions · 2 in the quick version
A question you’ll see“If you were out of the business for a month, what would happen?”
If this is weak: Owner-dependent operations cap how much work you can take on and make the business hard to value.
- 03
Purchasing
The leverage you carry with suppliers and vendors.
5 questions · 2 in the quick version
A question you’ll see“How do you buy materials — asphalt, aggregate, sealer, fuel?”
If this is weak: Buying alone at list price hands margin to your suppliers on every ton and every gallon.
- 04
Technology
Whether your systems give you numbers you can act on.
6 questions · 2 in the quick version
A question you’ll see“What runs your estimating, job costing, and billing today?”
If this is weak: Disconnected spreadsheets mean double entry, stale numbers, and decisions made on gut feel.
- 05
Growth
How ready the business is for its next stage.
6 questions · 2 in the quick version
A question you’ll see“What's your biggest constraint on taking more work?”
If this is weak: Without a plan for capital, people, and succession, growth stalls exactly when the opportunity appears.
Your score is ten minutes away.
