Are you carrying
the system?
Ten questions to find out whether you're doing your job — or holding the whole thing together on your own.
Does any of this sound familiar?
These are the patterns this assessment is built to find.
This isn't about being disorganised. It happens to the most capable, most reliable people — because they're the ones everyone defaults to. And over time, that reliability starts holding up a lot more than it was ever meant to.
This assessment looks at how work actually moves when you're in the room — and what stops when you're not. Not how things should work. How they do.
Your result
Three results. Which one's yours?
You'll know exactly where you sit the moment you finish.
Mostly Carrying The Work
Your expertise is the contribution. The system is doing its job — you're not the only thing holding it together.
Carrying Parts Of The System
Some of what you're holding was never meant to be permanently yours. It just ended up there — and now it feels normal.
Carrying The System
You've become the intake point, the source of truth, and the memory the system was supposed to hold. If you stepped away, it wouldn't miss you. It would stop.
None of these is a verdict. All of them are useful to know.
Who built this
I've sat in that chair.
I spent 20 years in EA and administrative roles — in the seat where you have none of the authority and all of the responsibility. I know exactly what it looks like when a capable person becomes the load-bearing wall of a system that should be holding itself up.
I know how invisible it is from the inside, because it builds slowly, looks like reliability, and feels completely normal by the time it's a problem.
I'm a Systems Strategist. I work with EAs, OBMs, VAs, PAs, solopreneurs, and small business owners to understand how work actually operates — and what has to change so it doesn't all run through one person indefinitely.
This assessment is where that conversation starts.
