Owner-dependence is the set of decisions and relationships that cannot move unless one person is in the room.
If revenue, key accounts, or every non-trivial decision require the owner, you do not have a company that can grow past that person's calendar. The work is to name which decisions must leave their desk, which relationships must be institutional, and which offers only exist because they sell them. That is an operating-model problem with arithmetic attached, not a motivational one.
The move that usually makes it worse: Hiring a 'number two' without moving decisions, so you now have two calendars and the same bottleneck.
Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.

Processes without moved decisions are documentation of the bottleneck. Name the decisions first.
