Founder Brand Score.

I can articulate what I am known for in one sentence, and people outside my company would agree with it.

I have shared a professional failure or hard lesson publicly in the last six months.

When someone searches my name, the results reflect the reputation I'm actively building, not just my job title.

I could name three specific beliefs or positions that separate me from other founders in my space.

People have told me they trusted my company more after encountering my personal content or story.

I know which archetype best describes how I naturally communicate, and I lean into it deliberately.

My visual presence online feels like an extension of my personality rather than a corporate default.

I have a clear framework for deciding what is "on brand" for me to talk about and what is not.

My brand carries emotional texture that people recognize and remember.

If I removed my name from my last ten posts, someone familiar with my work could still identify them as mine.

I publish on a predictable rhythm that my audience could set a calendar by.

I have a repeatable process for turning one idea into multiple pieces of content across platforms.

I know which single platform drives the most real outcomes for me, and I prioritize it without guilt.

My content sounds like me even when I use AI tools to draft or edit it.

I have caught myself falling into a common founder content trap and corrected course.

I have a written brand brief that someone else could use to create content in my voice without a live briefing.

A team member or collaborator has produced work under my name that I published with minimal edits.

I have documented the specific phrases, sentence patterns, and vocabulary that make my communication distinctive.

I track at least one metric to know whether my brand efforts are working.

If I disappeared for a month, my brand presence would continue because the systems exist to sustain it without me.
