FIRST WIN IN 72 HOURS

Feel control immediately—before diligence drags.

In the first 72 hours, we install the minimum system that stops thrash: what matters, what must be true, who decides what, and what data actually moves the deal forward.

Deliverable

72h #1

Red Flag Map

A single view of the issues that can kill the deal—or change price/structure—so the team stops guessing.

  • Risk themes + severity
  • Owner + next test
  • “What changes the decision?”

Deliverable

72h #2

“Must-Be-True” List

Your thesis converted into testable statements—so diligence is about validation, not exploration.

  • Thesis gates (pass/fail)
  • Kill criteria (explicit)
  • Evidence required

Deliverable

72h #3

Decision Calendar

A decision rhythm that prevents drift: what decisions happen when, with who, and what inputs.

  • Milestones + owners
  • IC path + timing
  • Pre-reads locked

Deliverable

72h #4

Data Request Pack

A clean request list mapped to the Must-Be-True tests—so you get only what moves the decision.

  • Request list + priority
  • Source + format guidance
  • Normalization notes

First-win guarantee

If you don’t have the Red Flag Map, Must-Be-True list, Decision Calendar, and Data Request Pack within 72 hours of kickoff, we work at no cost until you do.

You do: provide access + approve decisions. We do: analysis, synthesis, pack build, and follow-up to keep momentum.

THE MECHANISM

You’re not buying advice. You’re buying a Control Tower that runs.

We build the artifacts investors trust—and run the operating rhythm so your team stays focused on decisions and execution.

You do

Approve decisions + provide access.

Light-touch participation. You stay in control without getting pulled into a meeting treadmill.

  • Confirm scope + success criteria
  • Provide data room link / key docs
  • Make decisions on schedule
  • Remove blockers when escalated

We do

Run the Control Tower end-to-end.

We do the heavy lifting—analysis, synthesis, plan build, dashboards, and follow-through.

  • Red flags + must-be-true validation
  • IC-ready decision pack (memo + appendix)
  • Day-100 plan + governance cadence
  • Dashboards, scoreboards, benefits logic
  • Owner follow-up + risk log maintenance

RISK REVERSAL

Make “success” feel inevitable—without promising outcomes you can’t control.

Our guarantees are deliverable-based and decision-based. You’re paying for a working operating system and investor-grade artifacts—on a clock.

Guarantee A
Clean + safe

Deliverable Guarantee

If you don’t have the promised deliverables by the deadline, we work at no cost until you do.

  • 72 hours: Red Flag Map + Must-Be-True list + Decision Calendar + Data Request Pack
  • 10 business days: IC-ready decision pack (memo + appendix)
  • 14 days: Day-100 plan + value-creation scoreboard + cadence install
Guarantee B
Most compelling

Decision Guarantee

If our pack doesn’t create a clear “Do / Don’t / Not Yet” decision and a Day-100 execution plan, you don’t pay the final milestone.

  • Decision clarity is defined upfront (what must be true + kill criteria)
  • Outputs are board/IC-ready: narrative + metrics + defensible appendix
  • Execution is operationalized: owners, milestones, dependencies, and a weekly cadence
Want the smallest install? Start with Red Flag Flash (48–72h) or go straight to the IC + Day-100 Sprint (10–14d).

FAQ

The questions executives actually ask.

Short answers. Clear boundaries. Built for speed, confidentiality, and minimal disruption.

What do you need from us to start?

A sponsor, an operator lead, and access. We start with a short kickoff and then move async.

  • Sponsor: sets decision criteria, clears blockers
  • Operator lead: coordinates access and owners
  • Access: data room link / key docs / stakeholder intros

How do you keep meetings and thrash to a minimum?

We run a fixed cadence: one weekly exec checkpoint plus optional working session. Everything else is async with written pre-reads and approvals.

  • Pre-reads shipped before decisions
  • Decision Calendar locks who decides what, when
  • Owners chased by the Control Tower, not by you

What if the data room is messy or incomplete?

That’s normal. We start with a Data Request Pack mapped to the Must-Be-True tests, then normalize and structure what comes back.

  • Prioritized requests (what moves the decision first)
  • Normalization notes (so inputs become usable)
  • Escalations only when the decision is blocked

How do you handle confidentiality and sensitive data?

We can work with high-level ranges early, and run client-specific versions under NDA using your data room or encrypted transfer.

  • No unnecessary PII
  • Access controlled to the minimum set
  • Board/IC artifacts designed to be shareable without oversharing

How do you define scope so this doesn’t balloon?

We scope to the smallest install that forces a decision and a Day-100 plan. Anything else is an add-on module with a separate clock.

  • Explicit Must-Be-True list + kill criteria
  • Deliverable checklist with deadlines
  • Add-ons: carve-out/separation, PMI deep dive, exit readiness

What does “success” look like at the end of the Sprint?

A clear decision, an IC-ready pack you can defend, and a Day-100 operating system that operators can run—dashboards included.

  • Decision: Do / Don’t / Not Yet
  • Execution: owners, milestones, dependencies, cadence
  • Value: scoreboard + benefits logic that holds up in diligence and at exit

SCOPE CALL

Book a 20–30 min Diagnose Call.

We’ll confirm fit, define the Must-Be-True list, and recommend the smallest install (Flash, Sprint, or Retainer). You’ll leave with a clear next step.

20–30 min live No prep deck needed Light-touch by design

This is a working session, not a sales pitch. We’ll get specific about the decision, the timeline, and what would make the deal a “no.”

Clarify the decision: Do / Don’t / Not Yet—plus the kill criteria.

Lock the clock: confirm 72h → Day 10 → Day 14 milestones and owners.

Define scope: the smallest install that creates momentum (Flash / Sprint / Retainer).

What we’ll ask for (if you move forward)

  • Sponsor + operator lead
  • Data room link (or key docs) + access list
  • Any existing thesis / IC materials (optional)

Prefer async? Start with the Executive Value Brief and we’ll scope from your outputs.
