How we work · the engine

Ten stages. One chain. Aligned with Kotler.

A 10-stage engine synthesized from Halbert to Hormozi, aligned with Kotler's principles of marketing management. Each stage's output is the next stage's input. Skip one — especially MARKET or OFFER — and the chain breaks.

The operating principles

Three constraints, not aspirations.

Revenue, not vanity

Followers are vanity. Likes are vanity. Impressions are vanity. We optimize for revenue, pipeline, and payback period. Every metric we report ties to a dollar outcome. If it doesn't, we don't report it.

Publish the pricing

We publish our pricing publicly. Not because we're cheap — because we're honest. If you can't find the price on the website, you're being sold, not consulted. Three tiers, transparent ranges, no 'contact for pricing' theater.

Ship, then harden

We ship in weeks, not quarters. A live system with rough edges beats a polished storyboard every time. The Hub ships, measures, and hardens in production — not in a deck. Speed is a feature.

What the model is built to deliver

Forecasts with owners and exit criteria.

These are methodology-based estimates of what the engagement model is designed to deliver — not guaranteed past-client results. The plan names the metric, the owner, and the day-90 exit criteria before work starts.

Structure

90-day plans

Forecast-backed 90-day plans with named owners — the model that's driven 60+ brand engagements (brandsScaled: 60+).

Payback

Built to recover spend

Built for <6mo median payback on acquisition spend (paybackMedian: <6mo, canonical brief).

The moves

What ships in 90 days

  • Clean server-side attribution that survives iOS
  • Creative matrix shipping weekly iterations
  • Lifecycle that compounds LTV quarter over quarter
Forecast · not a promise of past results
The 45-day guarantee

Built and live in 45 days — or you don't pay for month four.

We ship in weeks, not quarters. A live system with rough edges beats a polished storyboard every time. If we miss the 45-day mark, month four is on us.
