COMPOUND IMPACT TOOL

Legacy ROI

Most people track financial ROI. Almost nobody tracks impact-per-hour. Your Legacy Score measures the ripple — not what you earn, but what outlives you.

Where Your Hours Go

How this is calculated: hours per week × weeks per year × people touched × years of carry. The result is “person-hours of influence” — a conservative compound measure. It is a scorecard, not a physics equation.

The compound effect

Mentoring one person at 2.0 hours/week generates roughly 2.1K person-hours of ripple per year. The same hours spent on passive consumption: around 104.

The Legacy Score is a compass, not a balance sheet. It will not be precise. It will reliably tell you when you are trading high-compound hours for low-compound ones.
