Key-person risk · for owner-led manufacturers
Right now, too much of your shop lives in a few heads. The programmer who dials in the hard jobs. The person who really knows how you quote. You. That works fine, until someone walks out the door. RUBI builds the operating system that turns that risk into a business that runs without you, sells for what it is worth, and is worth handing to the next generation.

Critical exposure
The risk
What is the plan for the person who holds half of it in their head?
You are so busy working IN the business that the deep work, planning for what runs without you, never gets its turn. A machine going down is the risk you insured against. The one you did not is the person who quits, retires, or gets poached, and walks out with the setups, the quoting instinct, and the customer relationships. It is more probable than a fire, and it hits harder.
And it is bigger than a bad week. It is whether the business you built can outlast you, and become something you hand to your kids, and theirs.
71%
of small businesses depend on 1 to 2 key people (NAIC).
40%+
of SMBs never reopen after a major disruption (FEMA).
1 person
is often the difference between a sellable business and an unsellable one.
The diagnostic
Seven questions, about two minutes. You will see where your business is trapped in a few people, and the first thing to fix. Built for shops, in the language of the floor.
The system
A binder on a shelf is not continuity. Real key-person resilience is a business that can prove it runs when someone is gone, and keeps proving it. RUBI builds that, one exposure at a time.
Find the single points of failure.
Your Risk Score is the start. We map exactly where the business depends on one person.
Extract the knowledge into a working system.
Not documentation for its own sake. The playbooks, checklists, and decisions a capable backup can actually run.
Test it, until it holds.
We verify a backup can perform the critical work. Risk becomes proof. Ruby becomes ink.
Why trust this
Built by an operator
RUBI was built by James Villarrubia after a year developing these operating systems. [Founder bio and track record to be added.]
Depth you can see
You see the actual system before you commit: the table of contents, the calculators, a real sample playbook. [Sample artifacts to be linked.]
A real guarantee
Find your number one single point of failure in the first working session, or you pay nothing. [Final guarantee terms to be confirmed.]
Your data, your business
Everything we build is yours, documented and transferable. If we ever part ways, you keep the system.
What it costs
The other way to solve this is to hire a fractional COO to systematize your operation, at roughly $8,000 to $18,000 / month. RUBI gives owner-led shops the same operating system as a productized engagement, for a fraction of that.

Straight answers
That is the symptom, not the objection. You have no time precisely because the business runs through you. The system exists to give the time back.
A template hands you an empty file to fill. RUBI transfers a working operating system, the kind a COO would build over months, and tests that it holds.
Because we test it. A backup has to perform the critical work before we call it done. If it is not used, it is not finished.
Two minutes, no cost. You will know your number one single point of failure by the end, and the first step toward a business you can hand down.
