Measure the Strength of your Legacy.
The FEQ is a proprietary diagnostic framework designed by Aven Advisors to quantify the structural and relational readiness of family-owned enterprises for long-term continuity.
Organizational Energy
We measure the "heart" of your enterprise — the passion, trust, and alignment that drive engagement and momentum across generations.
Structural Discipline
We evaluate the "head" of the business — the systems, governance, and processes that provide the clarity needed for scaling and succession.
Generational Continuity
By identifying the gap between values and operations, we provide a roadmap to bridge the legacy of the past with the ambition of the future.
The Matrix of
Enterprise Maturity
Your results are plotted on the FEQ Matrix, identifying your enterprise's current state across four critical archetypes. This visualization allows you to see exactly where your strengths lie and where silent fractures may be forming.
Multi-Stakeholder Insights
Compare perspectives across family council, executive team, and employees to identify alignment gaps.
Diagnostic Forensics
Deep-dive scores across six strategic areas including governance, succession, and cultural impact.
Methodology & Inquiries
Anyone with a real stake in where the enterprise is headed: owners, family council members, and the senior people who run the business day to day. The more active voices in the mix, the more useful the diagnostic.
Each person’s assessment takes about 20 minutes.
Yes. Individual responses stay private. We report patterns across groups, never who said what.
