FACTORS

- +Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 22 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 62 — approaching natural succession window.

SIGNALS
- secondaryFounder aged 58+: Senior director is approximately 62. Early succession window.
- primary20+ year tenure: Director in role 22 years. Very long tenure is a classic succession signal.

- supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
