Anyone can run a company. Can you tell if your people engine will hold?
Most HR audits are built for companies with a CHRO, a legal team and six months to spare. You have a business to run. This is a reality check across three things: can you operate safely, is your day-to-day people engine working, and can the company scale beyond you.
No wrong answers. No judgement. No corporate HR speak. Just an honest read on what's working, what's risky, and what to fix next — because the goal isn't a perfect HR score, it's clarity before people problems become business problems.

Can the company scale beyond you?
The real test of a startup isn't whether it works today. It's whether it still works when you're twice the size.
