Free · Seven questions · Three minutes

Your revenue engine wasn't designed. It accumulated.

Same models, same stack, same vendors. The only variable left is the bridge between your processes and the intelligence you already pay for. This audit finds where that bridge is missing.

The Architecture Audit scores your revenue engine across four dimensions in three minutes. You get a score on the Accumulated-to-Architected scale, the one constraint capping the others, and the annual EBITDA that gap costs you.

Instant results. No call required.

The track record

Built by an operator who carried the number, not a consultant who advised on one.

It never happens on purpose. Here is how the pile forms.

01

The fire starts.

You bought a CRM at $2M ARR. It solved that quarter's problem and became the foundation everything bolted onto.

02

The pattern sets.

Outreach at $5M. Enrichment, intent, CS, a BI layer by $20M. The stack grew. Nobody designed it.

03

The pile meets AI.

This layer reads your customer data and writes to your prospects. The habit that stacked tools now ships decisions.

How the engagement works

One seat. Three phases. Your call after 90 days.

Most fractional engagements are open-ended by design, which is how they turn into annuities. This one has a defined exit at day 90 and tells you exactly what it needs from you at every stage. Select a phase to see what happens, what you bring, and how much of your team's time it actually takes.

What happens

$2,500 fixed

Your estimates get replaced with your actual data. I pull pipeline history, forecast-versus-actual by quarter, and your RevOps cost base, then rebuild the number this audit estimated.

The documented process is rarely the real process. Half of it is exceptions, and the reality lives in one person's head, unwritten. A one-hour interview gets you what someone thinks their job is. We spend the two working sessions getting the job itself — exception handling included, because that's the actual deliverable, not the process map.

Time from you: About 3 hours of your team's time, total.

What you bring

  • 01CRM read access, or an export
  • 02Last 4 quarters of forecast vs actual
  • 03Two 45-minute working sessions

What you walk away with

  • A defensible annual cost figure, sourced
  • Ranked levers with effort and impact
  • The honest call on whether you need help at all

What operators ask first.

A revenue architecture audit scores how deliberately your revenue engine was designed across four dimensions: data foundation, forecast integrity, pipeline discipline, and AI governance. It produces a score from 1.00 to 4.00 on the Accumulated-to-Architected scale, identifies which dimension is capping the others, and estimates the annual EBITDA that the gap costs you.

Yes, and also a real diagnostic. Seven questions, three minutes, instant results on screen. No call is required and no sequence fires from completing it.

The Diagnostic Sprint is $2,500 fixed for two weeks of work. It is credited in full against a continuing engagement, and you keep every deliverable whether or not you continue.

Most operators do know. Fewer can put a defensible annual number on it in front of a board. The output is the number, sourced and modeled, not the diagnosis.

Directional, not audit grade. It reads your answers, not your systems. The Diagnostic Sprint is what replaces estimated inputs with your real pipeline and forecast data.

B2B SaaS companies between $5M and $100M ARR, typically the CEO, CRO, CFO, or RevOps lead. Private equity operating partners use it for portfolio diligence.
