Owner dependency
78/100

FACTORS
- +Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.
- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 74 — succession pressure is live.
- +Young company: Only 1.1 years old — management layer unlikely to be developed.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 74 years old. Natural succession window is now.
