Operating cadence
A weekly and monthly rhythm with a fixed agenda, owners and numbers. Not a status meeting: a decision meeting where things get closed.
01Services
Advisory
We take the decisions you keep postponing.
We sit in the operating seat: pricing, structure, hiring, capital. The founder gets a partner who decides with them and owns the consequence.
01The reality
The company is waiting on one person
In most founder-led companies the bottleneck is not strategy, it is the queue of decisions sitting on one desk. Pricing has not moved in two years. The org chart is a workaround. Capital conversations get pushed because there is no clean picture of the numbers. Nothing is broken enough to force a decision, so the company drifts at the speed of the founder's calendar.
- Every meaningful call routes back through the founder
- Pricing set by history, not by margin
- Reporting exists, but nobody decides from it
- Growth plans that never survive contact with the week
02What we actually do
Pricing and margin
We rebuild the price architecture around what the market actually pays and what the work actually costs. Margin becomes something you steer, not something you discover afterwards.
Structure and ownership
Who owns which number, what they decide alone, and what escalates. We redraw the org around outcomes instead of history.
Capital and runway
Cash model, scenarios and the story that goes with them. If a round is right, we prepare it with you and sit at the table.
Founder extraction
We map everything only the founder can do, then remove it one line at a time, through people, systems or software.
03How the mandate runs
We install it, then we run it
Week 0
Intake
Two days inside the company. Numbers, contracts, tooling, team, calendar. We come out with the real constraint, not the stated one.
Week 1 to 6
Install
Cadence, reporting and the first hard decisions. Pricing, structure and the founder's calendar get touched in this window, not later.
Month 2 onward
Operate
We run the cadence with you and carry the consequence of the calls we make together. Weekly presence, monthly scoreboard.
Exit
Hand back
The mandate ends when the company decides without us. Everything we built stays with you, documented and owned by named people.
04What you end up with
Owned by you, not rented
- Operating cadence with fixed agenda and owners
- One scoreboard the whole company reads
- Rebuilt price and margin architecture
- Ownership map per number
- Cash model with scenarios
- Founder extraction plan with dates
05Proof
Founder out of day to day operations
Decisions moved to named owners inside the company, the founder moved from operator to owner.
Funding round closed
Numbers, model and story prepared inside the mandate, round completed.
Record revenue
Pricing, cadence and demand steered as one system, best revenue year on record.
06Honest disqualifiers
Not for you if
- Founders who want a report to file, not decisions to make
- Companies where the shareholders disagree on direction
- Anyone who needs the advisor to be the safe voice in the room
