What the score is telling you
Awaiting assessment

Run the health check to see your story.

This is where your business advisor narrative will appear — an honest, plain-English read on what’s working, what’s straining, and what to do first. Pick a sample shop to see what it looks like, or start your own check.

Market context · what the local economy looks like
Awaiting zip

Add your zip in the bar above to anchor this health check to your local market.

Wages, cost-of-living, and sold-price bands all vary 2–3× across US metros. Without a zip, ShopPulse compares your shop’s vitals to a national average; with a zip, we ground the assessment in real local economics.

Market fit · your numbers vs local economics
Pricing power and labor burden vs. your local market.
Once the assessment is filled and a zip is set, we back-compute your shop’s implied sold $/SF and labor-cost % of revenue from your profile data and compare them to your local wage and price bands. Same shop is a healthy business in Atlanta and a money-losing one in San Francisco — this is what makes that legible.

The three moves with the highest payoff right now

Run the check first

Most shops have a dozen things they could improve. These three are the ones where a few weeks of focus would move the most needles — profit, stress, or scale.

1 — Run the health check to surface your top 3 moves.
We’ll pick the three based on your category scores and how much each typically moves the business.
2 — Each move comes with a what and a why.
Plain instructions, not management theory.
3 — Highest leverage first.
We sequence the ones that unlock the others.
Stress score · What kind of owner you are
Stress / chaos meter

How reactive is the business right now?

CalmSteadyStretchedBurnout
Awaiting assessment.
The stress score combines cash flow worry, owner-dependency, and production firefighting. High stress isn’t a moral failing — it’s a signal that the systems are doing too little of the work.
Owner archetype

Which kind of operator the shop runs on

Run the check to see which pattern fits your week.
Most shop owners fall into one of six patterns. Knowing yours is half of changing it — the other half is the next 90 days.
Improvement roadmap

Your 30 · 90 · 365-day plan

This is a snapshot. Compass makes it a trend.

Today's score is one moment. Compass turns it into a quarterly trajectory across all 7 categories, surfaces which numbers are improving and which are drifting, and pairs every Fix-3 recommendation with progress tracking — so you actually do the work, not just read it.
