What happens the week you stop selling?
Most founders have never run that number. The Founder Gravity Index scores how much of your revenue engine still runs through you personally, prices the pipeline at risk, and shows the detachment curve quarter by quarter.

Why gravity is the number that matters
It's invisible in good quarters
Founder-sourced pipeline looks like traction right up until the founder's calendar, network, or energy runs out. The board sees it before you feel it.
It prices the risk
Gravity isn't a character flaw, it's a balance-sheet item: the share of next quarter's pipeline that disappears if you step back. It deserves a dollar figure.
It unwinds in a sequence
Message first, then engine, then owners. Detaching in the wrong order is how founders end up back in every deal six months later.
Fair questions
Isn't founder-led sales a good thing early on?
It's the right thing early. It becomes gravity when the company's growth plan assumes a machine, but the machine is still you. The score measures the gap between what the plan assumes and what the engine can do alone.
Where do the decay assumptions come from?
They're my rubric, stated on the result so you can argue with them: founder-sourced pipeline is assumed to decay hard within two quarters of stepping back, while team-sourced pipeline holds. If your referral network keeps producing without your involvement, score that share as team-sourced.
What do you do with my numbers?
Nothing. The math runs in your browser. Only your email leaves the page, and only if you ask for the written detachment plan.
What's in the detachment plan?
The unwind sequence for your specific dependencies, in order: what only you can say, the system that says it without you, and the owners who take the number. It's the Clarify-Build-Compound arc applied to one problem.
