Don't hire a leader to build on a shaky foundation.
The biggest mistake growing companies make is hiring leadership before the business is ready for them.
In six focused weeks, we work alongside your team to install the strategic and operational foundation your business needs to scale. We create the clarity, systems, priorities, and operating cadence that allow a Fractional COO, CFO, CRO, or CMO to step in and create value immediately—not spend months figuring out how the business actually works.
Already have pieces of the foundation in place? Great.
We'll validate what's working, challenge what isn't, close the gaps, and turn it all into a practical operating system your team can actually execute.
Because great leaders shouldn't have to build the runway before they can help your business take off.
What a Foundation Sprint is
A Foundation Sprint is our entry-point strategy build: a focused six-week engagement that installs the baseline system and strategy your company needs before a fractional leader executes — and the natural first step into an ongoing engagement with the executive who built it with you.
6 weeks
Kickoff to signed-off system.
$12,000
Flat, one-time fee.
Weekly Sessions
A 60-minute weekly working session with your executive.
One operator
A proven functional executive leads every session — and everything you build is yours to keep.
Baseline
We audit what actually exists today — not what the org chart says exists.
Direction
Leadership commits to the destination in writing. The debate ends here.
Build
The core artifact of the track gets drafted with you, live in session.
Measure
We set the handful of numbers that tell you weekly whether it is working.
Install
Your team runs the cadence themselves while we are still in the room.
Hand off
Full handover plus a 90-day plan you can run with or without us.
Start where it hurts most.
Each track is led by one of our world-class fractional executives.
Six weeks to a system your team builds with them. Most clients start with one and add a second inside the year.
Operating Sprint
A team that is misaligned on priorities, with no written annual plan and no operating rhythm.
The system + strategy you build together and keep.
- Vision & values — purpose, values, three-year picture
- Documented annual strategic plan with goals and targets
- Organizational People Structure: Clear Roles & Responsibilities
- Quarterly priorities for the quarter ahead
- Company report dashboard of weekly leading metrics
- Meeting rhythm & operating cadence playbook
Financial Sprint
Revenue is growing but nobody can say what is profitable. Cash calls get made on a gut check and a bank balance.
The system + strategy you build together and keep.
- Financial baseline audit — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
- Clean chart of accounts and bookkeeping cleanup roadmap
- 13-week cash flow & runway model
- Unit economics & margin analysis by product or service
- Annual budget and driver-based forecast
- Financial scorecard with budget-vs-actual
Revenue Engine Sprint
Sales lives in the founder's head. The pipeline is a spreadsheet, the forecast is a guess, reps sell however they feel.
The system + strategy you build together and keep.
- Defined sales process & stage-by-stage playbook
- Ideal customer & ideal-deal profile
- Discovery scripts, messaging & objection handling
- CRM and pipeline configured with clean stages and KPIs
- Forecast model plus baseline comp & quota framework
- Revenue scorecard and 90-day revenue plan
Marketing Foundation Sprint
Marketing is a list of tactics with no thesis. You cannot explain in one sentence why a buyer should pick you.
The system + strategy you build together and keep.
- Positioning & messaging framework
- ICP, value prop, differentiation
- Core brand narrative and messaging guide
- Customer journey & funnel map
- Channel strategy with prioritized budget allocation
- 90-day campaign & content plan
- Marketing scorecard — CAC, conversion, pipeline contribution
Every sprint is led by a Savvy fractional executive with real tenure in the seat — a COO who has run the operating rhythm, a CFO who has closed the books, a CRO who has carried the number, a CMO who has owned the narrative.
