Used by business owners who want clarity before making their next move—and strategy before investing more time, money and effort.
It is a diagnostic-grade business assessment designed to measure the structural health of your organization across seven Business Pillars—the interconnected areas that determine whether a business grows smoothly or struggles under its own weight.
The OSSA reveals:
Where momentum is being lost
Which pillars are limiting performance
Where improvement will create the fastest and most sustainable ROI
The result is a clearer, data-informed view of your business and greater confidence about what to address next. Truth, not noise—and clarity leaders can act on.

Who Should Take the OSSA™

Business Owners
and fFunders

Leadership Teams
navigating growth

Companies experiencing stalled growth or rising complexity

Leaders who feel the business is “working harder than it should”
The OSSA™ is built for leaders who want more than surface answers.
If you want greater clarity, sharper focus, and a strategic path forward, this assessment was built for you.
The OSSA™ evaluates every business through seven interconnected pillars.
When these pillars are strong and working together, the company can move forward with greater stability and momentum. When one or more are weak, everything can feel harder than it should.

Mindset and Foundations are two of the Seven Pillars, but they provide the base upon which the others are stand and are strengthened.
When Mindset is unstable, even strong system breaks down. When Foundations are weak, growth creates chaos instead of momentum. That’s why the OSSA evaluates these pillars first—ensuring that every improvement made afterward is sustainable, scalable, and aligned.

Step 1: Choose How to Begin
You may take the OSSA™ first or talk with us before you begin. Some business owners prefer to start with the assessment, while others want to provide context through a conversation first.
Step 2: Complete the OSSA™
You will evaluate your business across all Seven Pillars using structured 1–10 ratings and strategic open-ended questions. Your responses help reveal strengths, gaps, imbalances, and areas that may require attention.
Step 3: Review Your ARX Pillars & Spokes™ Report
Your results are analyzed through the ARX AI™ engine to produce a personalized diagnostic report. The report shows how your Seven Pillars are working together, highlights areas of strength and imbalance, and helps you see where your business may be wobbling. We then review the findings with you and discuss the most appropriate next step.
The problem is rarely a lack of effort. It is effort directed at the wrong problem.
The OSSA™ helps save time, money, and energy by:
Identifying root causes instead of reacting only to symptoms
Reducing guesswork in decision-making
Revealing where focused action may create the greatest impact
The OSSA™ is more than an automated score or self-serve quiz. Your results are analyzed and reviewed with you so that you understand what they may reveal about your business—not simply receive numbers without context.
Before you push harder, grow faster, or invest more, it helps to understand the structure you are building on. The OSSA™ gives you a clearer view of your business so you can make your next decision with greater confidence.
