Common Questions
For the founder, the core time commitment is two focused days of interviews. From there, we structure, review, and deliver the full Genius Handoff in as few as 30 days.
No. This is relevant any time leadership continuity matters. A sale is one use case, but so are succession, founder step-back, generational transfer, unexpected absence, and post-acquisition transition. The main issue is not the transaction. It is whether the business can keep operating when key knowledge and judgment are no longer sitting with one person
Yes. In many cases, that is exactly when it should happen. Growth often increases founder dependency instead of reducing it, because more decisions, relationships, exceptions, and approvals still route through the same person. The Genius Handoff is designed to capture and transfer that operating logic before the gap gets wider.
