We specialize in
relationship businesses.

A relationship business grows when its accounts stay, renew, and expand over years. We work with leaders to act on what their business is telling them every day.

  1. YEAR 1

    PROMISE

    “If this works, we’ll roll it out to every region.”

  2. YEAR 2

    FRICTION

    “Honestly, the first six months were rough.”

  3. YEAR 4

    RENEWAL RISK

    “The new CFO wants to see the numbers before we renew.”

  4. YEAR 6

    EXPANSION

    “We’re making an acquisition. Can you support that?”

OUR EXPERTISE

Three kinds of relationship business we know well.

PRIVATE EQUITY

From diligence to value creation.

THE RELATIONSHIP

It starts in diligence, while the firm builds its thesis on a company, and runs through a multi-year hold measured against that thesis.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS

On the buy side, what the data room leaves out: how the target’s accounts actually behave. On the operating side, day-one priorities ranked by evidence.

TECHNOLOGY

From first touch to lifetime value.

THE RELATIONSHIP

Few assets in technology are worth more than a relationship whose revenue compounds every year. What happens between the first conversation and the renewal decides how much it grows.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS

Which opportunities are real and what that means for the forecast, how accounts move from implementation to renewal, and where perceived value drifts from what was promised at the sale.

BUSINESS SERVICES

From first meeting to ever-evolving needs.

THE RELATIONSHIP

Supporting another business depends on consistency: how your people respond, how they manage change, and how quickly work is reprioritized when the account’s needs shift.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS

Services businesses have little telemetry. The language is the record: how service is perceived, where consistency breaks, and what earns long-term advocacy.

PROOF

Where our work changed the outcome.

PRIVATE EQUITY

Lower-enterprise HCM software target, pre-LOI

$9.4M

Renewals worth $9.4M that the forecast carried as committed showed no commitment in the accounts’ own correspondence.

DECISION

The deal team used the evidence to challenge the forecast, cut its GRR assumption, and reprice the bid.

RESULT

Signed the LOI $14M below the IOI.

TECHNOLOGY

Global healthcare technology company, multi-product

36%

One product line generated 36% of all the friction accounts raised, putting about $80M in ARR at risk.

DECISION

Leadership put the rolled-up evidence in front of product owners for the first time and reopened roadmap priorities.

RESULT

Critical enhancements went from backlog to P1.

BUSINESS SERVICES

Performance marketing agency, about 1,000 clients

38%

The strongest signal before a cancellation was not complaints about the service but doubt about results, raised by 38% of at-risk accounts.

DECISION

Leadership replaced activity updates with ROI readouts that tied the work performed to each at-risk client’s results.

RESULT

30-day cancellations fell by a third within two quarters.
