+Long-tenure founder: Senior director has been in place 16 years — deep operational knowledge concentrated in one person.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 78 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 78 years old. Natural succession window is now.
