Inside this research
What does this quiz measure?
It measures whether you have enough information, agreement and delivery capacity to buy advice well.
The questions
Question 5 reflects a real distinction: legal LLC form alone does not determine federal tax treatment.
Interpret the total
A high score does not mean buy a retainer.
Apply the stop gates even if the total is high
If question 9, 10 or 12 scores zero, pause implementation of the affected action until cash, review or execution responsibility is resolved.
Worked examples
Agency founder — 24/30 but no assigned reviewer.
What should the result page say?
Show the total, band, any stop gate and the three lowest-scoring items.
What evidence should be retained?
Keep the selected answers, date, person completing the quiz and links to supporting documents in the business’s own controlled workspace.
How should the quiz be tested before deployment?
Check that all-A answers produce zero, all-C produce 30, each band boundary behaves correctly and a stop gate overrides a high total.
Frequently asked questions
No: the score measures preparation for buying and implementing advice.
