Data-Driven

The Portland Operations & AI Index

Measuring how Portland-area companies adopt AI, manage operations, and pursue founder independence.

The V·M·I Framework

Visibility

Can stakeholders see what's happening in real time? We measure dashboard coverage, KPI tracking, and data maturity across the organisation.

Sample questions:

  • • Do you have a real-time revenue dashboard?
  • • Can any team member check project status without asking?
  • • How quickly can you identify a cash-flow issue?

Margin

How efficiently does the company convert effort into output? We assess AI adoption, automation depth, and operational leverage.

Sample questions:

  • • What % of repetitive tasks are automated?
  • • Which AI tools does your team use daily?
  • • Could you 2x output without hiring?

Independence

Can the business run without its founder? We evaluate SOPs, delegation quality, and decision-making autonomy across the org.

Sample questions:

  • • Has the founder taken a 2-week vacation this year?
  • • What happens if the founder is unavailable for a week?
  • • Are critical processes documented in SOPs?
