Advisory that drives results, not just another set of recommendations.
Deep operating experience and a repeatable framework, applied to the revenue problems that actually move the number, for founders and leadership teams at small, midsize, and PE-backed companies. Engage us as advisors on a defined problem, or embed us as fractional revenue leadership.
01
What we work on
Six places where revenue breaks. And one that changes how fast we find, fix, and scale.
Stalled growth almost never traces to a single deficiency. It traces to a handful of things interacting, and to a decision nobody has made about which one to work on first.
GTM Strategy
Align positioning, ICP, and go-to-market motion so the market hears one story and the team sells one way.
ICP definition and segment prioritization
Positioning, messaging, and value narrative
Sales Effectiveness
Improve productivity and win rates through qualification, pipeline discipline, inside sales design, and enablement.
Sales process, stages, and exit criteria
Discovery, qualification, and deal reviews
Compensation and quota alignment
Partnerships & Channels
Revenue through other people’s relationships. Most partner programs produce logos on a slide and very little pipeline. We work the motion that produces the pipeline instead.
Partner strategy, tiering, and where channel actually beats direct
Joint value propositions built for the partner’s economics, not just yours
Co-sell motion, deal registration, and shared pipeline discipline
Partner enablement, and the success measures that keep it honest
Retention & Expansion
Most growth plans are written as if the only revenue that counts is new. It is not. We work the motion that grows the accounts you already won, and the part nobody wants to own: expansion depends on delivery.
Expansion motion, ownership, and cadence
Churn and contraction causes, separated from symptoms
The delivery-quality read expansion actually depends on (services businesses)
Revenue Operations
Lead routing, handoffs, and the pipeline data everything else runs on. When the record is wrong, every other practice area is working from fiction: the forecast, the coverage model, the diagnostic, the agents reading your CRM export.
Lead routing and the handoffs between marketing, sales, and customer success
Forecast integrity: stage-driven probability, with confidence as a separate axis
CRM discipline and qualification gates before resources get committed
Reviews run from reports rather than decks, with exception reporting for stalled deals
The reporting layer leadership actually makes decisions from
Team & Leadership
Build high-performing, accountable teams: the right structure, the right roles, and leaders who can lead them.
Org design, coverage, and capacity planning
Leadership coaching and operating cadence
Hiring profiles and onboarding ramp

AI Readiness
What the business can safely and usefully do with AI, and in what order.
Agent Builds & Pilots
Agents built against your data and process. Start with the read, or start with a build.
Some problems need an outside read and a plan you can execute. Others need someone in the seat. Both run the same Line to Revenue method with PressureTest agents. Both start with a Revenue Diagnostic.
Model 01: Consulting
Advisory engagements
A defined problem, a defined scope. We diagnose, align the team, and hand you a plan we have already pressure tested, then stay close enough to see it land.
Shape
Project-based, scoped to a specific revenue question
Typical span
4 to 12 weeks, with a defined deliverable
Cadence
Working sessions with leadership; readouts to the board or sponsor
Includes
Pipeline Intelligence (controlled pilot) and engagement readouts
Best when you need clarity fast: a diagnostic, a GTM reset, a pre- or post-close revenue read, or a plan your team can own.
Revenue leadership in the seat, at a fraction of a full-time hire. We run the motion, the cadence, and the team, accountable to the number, not to a report.
Shape
Embedded leadership, ongoing, with clear ownership
Typical span
Two to four days a week, quarter by quarter
Cadence
Forecast, pipeline, and deal reviews; board reporting
Includes
Pipeline Intelligence today, the other PressureTest tools as they come out of build
Best when you are between CROs, scaling ahead of the org, or in a PE-backed company where the timeline will not wait for a search.
Revenue work for sponsors, before and after the wire
Same instrument, different buyer, different moment. Two named offers rather than one, because a pre-close read and a day-one read are not the same deliverable.
PE Sales Diligence
Pre-close
The same instrument, pointed at your equity investment target. Dig into what you are buying, before you commit.
Shape
Scoped to the transaction timeline
Typical span
2 to 4 weeks
You get
Revenue system maturity, the constraints you would inherit, what it costs to fix them, and what that does to the model
Best when
You need a commercial read your banker’s model does not give you
PE-Sponsored Revenue Diagnostic
Post-close
Day-one clarity inside a portfolio company, sponsored by the investor and run with management.
Shape
The standard Diagnostic, with the sponsor as a named stakeholder
Typical span
3 to 4 weeks
You get
What the revenue system can carry, what to fix first, and what it is worth against the hold-period thesis
Best when
The 100-day plan needs a revenue section that is not guesswork
Not a revenue problem? Getting AI into the business itself, meaning finding the workflows worth automating and building them, is a different conversation. See Practical AI →
03
Line to Revenue
The same path runs through every engagement.
Line to Revenue is the method: how we read a revenue system and decide what to fix first. It runs as a loop rather than a line: advisory, fractional, and investor engagements enter at different points, but they all follow the same four moves and they all come back around.
01
Diagnose
Read the revenue system across six layers and four maturity dimensions
02
Decide
Rank what is worth fixing, size what it is worth, commit to the first move
03
Execute
Run it with the team, on a cadence, against exit criteria
04
Compound
Bank what changed so the next lap starts ahead of this one
04 → 01 The loop is the point. Momentum is what accumulates between laps.
Diagnose: the instrument
Six layers. Four dimensions. One place to start.
We read the whole system, rank what is actually worth fixing, and separate the thing to start on from the problems that are downstream noise.

Illustrative sample data. The read publishes the architecture, not the question bank or the scoring logic.
How it starts
Every relationship starts with an introduction.
And every engagement starts with an initial consultation. Before scope, before pricing, before a plan: a conversation about where the complexity is, what you have already tried, and whether we are the right people for it.
The introductory call is free and there is no obligation on either side. If the fit is not there, we will tell you.
