AAES Health Score Benchmarks 2025

Note: These benchmarks are derived from aggregated patterns of high-performing 7-figure businesses. They are meant to provide directional guidance, not exact standards. Individual results will vary depending on industry, scale, and execution.

Practical Examples:

• Example 1 – Asset Gap: A founder scores 10/25 in Assets. A quick win is to convert existing blogs into a downloadable lead magnet to start compounding reach.
• Example 2 – Amplifier Gap: A business relies entirely on cold outreach. A quick win is to implement a referral loop to automate customer acquisition.
• Example 3 – Systems Gap: The founder manages every client interaction. A quick win is to document and delegate one repeatable process.

Growth Tips and Business Impact:

• Build Assets That Compound: Create libraries, content kits, and evergreen tools.
• Scale with Amplifiers: Invest in systems that bring customers without manual input.
• Strengthen Economics: Enhance margins and prioritize efficient revenue streams.
• Document Systems: Reduce founder dependency by creating repeatable workflows.

Business Impact: Transitioning from effort-driven to leverage-driven operations enables businesses to break free from burnout cycles, scale sustainably, and close the gap with high-performing peer
