Data confidence

Overall: medium (76/100)

50/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

40/100
Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS
