Operating Scan
A free business operations health check for founder-led Australian businesses. Twenty-one plain statements about how the business actually runs, answered from Not us to Always. About six minutes, then a provisional score naming the weakest areas and a conversation if you want one. If you already know the decision you need to make, the diagnostic tells you whether you are right and gives you something to show the team.

Operating Scan statements and score
You read each statement, choose the answer that sounds most like your business and see which areas need attention first.
21 plain statements
Each statement describes something you can recognise in how the business runs. Answer from Not us to Always, with no preparation needed.
About 6 minutes
Complete the statements in one sitting, or stop and return when it suits you.
A provisional score
You see the weakest areas and an overall score. It is provisional because it rests on your answers, not evidence Ajility has examined.
A conversation if you want one
The result is yours with no call required. If you want to talk it through, the next conversation starts from your score.
Common questions
What happens on the call after the Operating Scan?
- Ajility walks you through the score, the weakest areas and what usually sits behind them, and tells you plainly whether a paid diagnostic is worth it or whether you can fix it yourself.
Is a free business health check any good?
- A free check is useful for finding where to look, not for deciding what to fix. Ajility's Operating Scan is free, takes about six minutes and names your weakest areas; treat it as a screening result, not an audit.
Should I do the free scan or the paid diagnostic first?
- Take the free scan first if you want a quick direction in six minutes. Go straight to the Operating Diagnostic, from $3,600 plus GST, when the result matters commercially and you need evidence rather than self-report.
What questions are in a business health check?
- Good health checks use plain statements you can recognise about direction, leadership, people, meeting rhythm, numbers and systems, answered on a scale. Ajility's Operating Scan uses 21 such statements, answered from Not us to Always.
How is the Operating Scan scored?
- Each of the 21 statements is answered on a scale from Not us to Always. The answers roll up into a provisional overall score with the weakest areas named. It is provisional because it rests on your answers, not on evidence Ajility has examined.
What can a business diagnostic not tell me?
- A diagnostic shows where the business is constrained and what to fix first; it does not fix it, and it is not an audit of accounts, tax or legal compliance. Those sit with your accountant and lawyer, and Ajility stays on the operational side.
Is there a free business operations health check for Australian businesses?
- Yes. Ajility's Operating Scan is a free operations health check built for founder-led Australian businesses of roughly $3M to $30M. It takes about six minutes, scores six areas and names the weakest, and you see the result without giving an email address.
What does a business operations health check cover?
- Six areas: Direction, Leadership, People, Rhythm, Numbers and Systems. Each is read through plain statements about how the business runs week to week, so the result points at where to look first rather than at a generic maturity score.
Who is the free operations health check for?
- Owners and general managers of established, founder-led businesses, usually between $3M and $30M in revenue with 15 to 150 staff. It is not built for start-ups or for businesses already running a full leadership rhythm, who tend to score well and learn little from it.
How confident the score is
The scan reads your view of the business. It is a screening instrument, not an audit. Twenty-one statements can place an area as strong, mixed or weak with reasonable confidence. They cannot tell you why, and they cannot see what you have not noticed. Treat the result as a direction, not a finding.
Where a score matters commercially, the next step is the Operating Diagnostic from $3,600 plus GST. It tests the same areas against evidence, documents and interviews rather than self-report.
