how we work: The Everest Ascent Framework™
step1 - The Everest Diagnostic:
What to Fix. What to Skip. What to Do First.
We run a rapid diagnostic across GTM, delivery, team, ops, and leadership to surface the 5–7 execution gaps that are costing you margin, speed, or confidence.
The Everest Diagnostic typically uncovers $250K–$2M in margin, pipeline, or delivery risk — before it hits your QBR.
You’ll get:
1:1 interviews + metric review
Execution heatmap (across 5 categories)
Top 5 blockers and misalignments
A 30/60/90 traction plan — board-ready
$7,500 flat fee
Delivered in 10 business days
Step 2 - the traction phase
Fix the gaps. Build momentum. Ship results.
We lead your team through a focused sprint to resolve the root issues uncovered in the diagnostic, usually in GTM clarity, delivery margin, or team accountability.
You’ll get:
Custom execution playbook
Weekly action cycles + metrics dashboard
Margin, speed, or growth improvements within 6–8 weeks
Coaching to help your team sustain wins
Starting at $125K
90-day engagement

recent client transformations
Case Study – Pipeline Revival
The Situation: A PE-backed SaaS company was missing growth targets. Their pipeline looked full, but close rates kept dropping. Leadership assumed it was a sales talent problem.
The Diagnostic: We uncovered that the real issue wasn’t the reps, it was misaligned messaging and targeting. Campaigns were pulling in the wrong buyers, and sales was burning 50% of their time chasing poor-fit leads.
The Outcome: Within weeks, we reset ICPs, rebuilt the GTM playbook, and launched campaigns targeted at the right buyers. Pipeline quality jumped 30% in 90 days, and close rates rebounded. The client kept us engaged to embed the new GTM rhythm across sales and marketing, ensuring results stuck.
Case Study – Margin Breakthrough
The Situation: A professional services firm had healthy top-line growth, but margins were flat. The CEO thought they just needed more headcount to meet demand.
The Diagnostic: We traced the issue to delivery bottlenecks, handoff breakdowns, and missed automation opportunities. Leaders were surprised to learn that 25% of delivery hours were wasted on non-billable, repetitive work.
The Outcome: Our roadmap highlighted AI, automation and process fixes that unlocked $1M in annualized savings without a single new hire. The client retained us to run a Margin Uplift Sprint, embedding the changes into their operating model.
Case Study – Leadership Alignment Reset
The Situation: A portfolio company’s leadership team was stuck in conflict. Departments blamed each other for missed targets, and the board was losing patience.
The Diagnostic: Our Rapid Diagnostic revealed that misaligned decision rights and an unclear operating rhythm were at the heart of the issue, not capability. Leaders were shocked to see 25% of the leadership team’s time was being lost to meetings without outcomes.
The Outcome: We reset the leadership cadence, clarified roles, and installed a 90-day priority system. Within a quarter, execution speed improved 20%, and the board praised the “night and day” shift in alignment and leadership morale. The team asked us to stay on in an advisory capacity to keep them focused and accountable.
