Should you quit your job for self-employment — or do you just want to want to?
Self-employment, consulting, freelancing, agency, indie product, solo practice — whichever shape it takes for you. The decision is rarely about the job you'd leave. It's about three things people quietly skip thinking about: do you have a working hypothesis (not just a feeling), can you actually fund the transition, and can you face the version of yourself that has to walk back? This is a small, honest readiness audit. Six micro-questions. One clear read.
Nothing is saved. Nothing is sent. Just clarity, for you.
Six honest questions
Can you state, in one sentence today, exactly what you'd be selling and who would buy it?
No "consulting" — that's a category, not an offer. The test: would a specific person reading the sentence know whether to write you a cheque?
In the last 90 days, how many people have actually paid you — or signed a written commitment to pay — for something close to this offer?
Token amounts count. Free pilots don't. Encouragement from your network doesn't. The wallet is the only honest signal.
If your paycheque stopped today, how many months of all fixed expenses can you cover from liquid savings alone?
Rent or EMI, insurance, groceries, school fees, family commitments. No credit cards, no family loans, no asset sale, no "I'll move in with parents."

If your venture produces zero revenue for 18 months, do you have a named, realistic bridge — not "I'll figure it out"?
Examples of real bridges: 12 months of saved expenses + a half-day-a-week consulting pipeline; a confirmed angel commitment with a written term; a working partner whose income holds household fixed. Examples that don't count: "I might do some freelance work", "my family will help if needed", "I'll dip into PPF."
If this didn't work and you had to walk back into employment in 18 months, do you have a frank sentence — one you'd actually say out loud to a peer — for what happened?
Not "things didn't work out." A real sentence. Most people who quit successfully had this sentence before they quit. Most who unravel didn't.
The week your first major bet fails publicly — a launch that flops, a client that walks, a number you publicly missed — do you know which specific named person you'd call before midnight?
Not "supportive friends" generically. One actual name. Bonus if you've already told them they'll be that person.

The score is the diagnosis. The audit tells you which one axis is doing the most damage — and the specific 90-day work to close it before you make a decision you can't unmake. If you'd rather just talk, the second button starts a 1:1 conversation directly.

Your dominant gap — close this first
This is the single axis pulling your overall readiness down the most. Closing it gives you more upside than working on anything else for the next 90 days.
