Most stuck service businesses have one of three bottlenecks: demand (not enough of the right inquiries), capacity (no room to take more on), or follow-through (opportunity leaking between steps). This eight-question assessment names your primary and secondary bottleneck in plain language and points you to the right starting path. Results appear immediately on this page — no email or phone number required.
The three bottlenecks
Every answer you give sorts into one of these. Most businesses carry a little of each — the question is which one is actually setting the ceiling.
Demand
Not enough of the right customers are finding and choosing you. The work, once it lands, gets done — the calendar just runs thinner than it should.
Capacity
The work is there, but too much of it routes through you personally — answers, approvals, quotes, and evenings full of catch-up.
Follow-through
Enough opportunity shows up; it leaks between steps — inquiries that wait, quotes that go quiet, invoices that go out late.
Whichever bottleneck it names, control stays with you
Deptly carries approved routine work within your rules, asks before anything judgment-shaped, and leaves the decisions that matter human. The full picture is on trust and control. And if you want the work-level view rather than the pattern-level one, the full diagnostic names the specific workflows that could leave your plate first.
