Owner dependency
66/100

- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 63 — approaching natural succession window.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 63. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.
- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
