For acquirers
Independent sponsors, searchers, and ETA operators use the Commercial Growth Snapshot to pressure-test the growth story before committing to LOI or deeper diligence spend.
Signal Check: 24 hours from $1.5k. Full Snapshot: 72 hours, $3k–$7.5k. Public data plus context you provide. Not formal diligence, not QoE, not investment advice.
Snapshot output
What this fixes
Broker notes, competitor sites, pricing pages, LinkedIn posts, buyer anecdotes, partner decks, and internal spreadsheets all contain useful signal. The problem is that they usually point in different directions. The snapshot turns that into a short memo a buyer or operator can use.
Start here
A 72-hour outside read on one live commercial question. The output is a short memo that separates visible signals from assumptions.
When partner pain is clear
A focused architecture pass for technical B2B companies with integrations that do not sell, stalled partner programs, or channel conflict.
Process
The snapshot runs from question to delivered memo in four steps: submit one commercial question, confirm scope on a short call, 72-hour outside research pass, memo delivered with next questions ranked by decision value.
01
One target, market, product, pricing move, channel, or partner question.
02
Twenty minutes to define scope, context, and what decision this supports.
03
Public signals, competitor positioning, pricing clues, and GTM bottlenecks.
04
A short memo that shows what is visible, what is assumed, and what to investigate next.
These questions fit the snapshot format: specific enough to answer from public market signals within 72 hours, with one live commercial decision behind them.
From the work
An industrial software company was entering a new investor relationship. Leadership had a view of how growth would happen: new customers, expanding existing accounts, two new product lines. What they did not have was a model connecting those activities to actual revenue numbers.
We built two things. A strategic plan that turned each growth activity into specific commercial targets. And a revenue model built from the bottom up: conversion rates from historical license data, applied phase by phase across a global set of identifiable operator assets, producing a forecast account by account rather than a blended estimate. The strategic review held. The investors committed. The model became the company's primary forecasting tool after the deal closed.
A forward revenue story is a claim. The mechanics under it are what investors are actually buying.

Keep it short. One target, one product, one market, one pricing move, or one partner question. If it fits the snapshot scope, the next step is a short intake.
