Owner dependency
73/100

FACTORS

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 79 — succession pressure is live.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 79 years old. Natural succession window is now.
- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
