A four-to-six-week deep-dive by two operators who've actually turned businesses around. We walk your floors, talk to your people, read your data, and hand you a 90-day growth plan you can use Monday.
Not consultants who've studied businesses — operators who've actually turned them around. Different industries, different angles, double the pattern recognition.
Traditional consulting sells frameworks built by people who've never made payroll. We sell pattern recognition built by running businesses.
A scoped, finite engagement with a clear deliverable. No retainers, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
We don't execute the plan for you. We don't guarantee revenue outcomes — execution is yours. The deliverable is the plan. If you want implementation help after, that's a separate conversation.
A spread-out engagement that respects your operations and gives us time to actually see your business — busy days, slow days, weekdays, weekends.
You tell us about your business on a short call. We discuss fit honestly — we take selective engagements where we can genuinely help.
Over 4–6 weeks, both operators run 6–8 site visits, interview your team, review your data, and observe your operation in motion.
You receive a written 90-day growth plan: prioritized actions, revenue levers, and operational fixes ranked by impact and effort.
A six-part written document — every section grounded in what we actually saw, heard, and measured at your business.
Top-line findings — what's working, what's leaking revenue, and where the biggest wins live.
Specific opportunities ranked by impact and effort. The moves that move the number most.
Process, workflow, scheduling, and inventory issues that are quietly costing you money or time.
Team dynamics, training gaps, hiring patterns, and where leadership attention is best spent.
Touchpoints, conversion blockers, retention opportunities — what your customer actually feels.
A week-by-week prioritized checklist for your next quarter — what to do, when, and why.
“They didn't just hand me a plan — they showed me what my own employees were already telling me but I wasn't hearing. We were back in profit inside a quarter.”— Independent Retail Owner
Different industries, different angles, double the pattern recognition. Charles brings indie retail and creative operations; Corey brings Fortune 50 retail at scale. Two perspectives catch what one operator alone would miss.
Owner-operated local businesses doing roughly $500K–$10M annually — typically retail, hospitality, trades, and service businesses. Above $10M, you're better served by a bigger firm. Under $500K, the engagement isn't proportionally valuable yet.
No. We can't — and anyone who says they can is selling you something else. We deliver a senior-grade analysis and a clear action plan. Execution is on you. If you don't act on the plan, results don't follow. We're transparent about that up front.
Traditional consulting sells frameworks built by people who've studied businesses. We sell pattern recognition built by running them. And we charge a fraction of the price — $10K flat versus $50K–$200K for similar scope at a boutique firm.
The Brief itself is the deliverable, scoped and finite. If after delivery there's strong fit and you want hands-on implementation support, we discuss that as a separate engagement — never bundled into the Brief.
4–6 weeks from kickoff to delivery, structured as 6–8 site visits plus async work between visits. Spread out intentionally so we see your business in different conditions — busy days, slow days, weekends, weekdays.
We take a limited number of engagements per quarter to maintain quality. Apply, and we'll let you know our next available slot — usually within 2–6 weeks.
Tell us about your business. We'll have a short call to discuss fit. If it's right, we'll get on the calendar.
