Winning today takes a customer-centered, AI-first technical field. We build it.

Clear ownership from discovery to expansion, business cases a CFO accepts, and AI agents behind every seller. That is the team that wins and grows, and we fund the change out of the efficiency we find along the way.

150% NDRNet dollar retention at a data platform after AI churn modeling and packaged services; churn cut in half
13% to 74%Services attach at a DevOps platform; services went from a cost center to a profit driver
+6 pts GRRGross retention turned around in one quarter at a developer platform, after three quarters of decline

How a transformation engagement runs

A typical seven-week path from kickoff to a field that owns the new model, adapted to each company. Growth metrics are baselined in week one and reported weekly from week four.

  1. Mobilize

    Executive sponsor sends air cover, access is provisioned, and leaders share what they know.

  2. Discover

    Structured interviews with functional leads and ICs, plus data discovery: retention by tier, win and loss, ticket cost, time allocation.

  3. Define

    A leadership offsite sets the future lifecycle, swimlanes and priorities.

  4. Validate

    Ride-alongs, skills inventory and customer interviews test the draft against reality.

  5. Decide

    Executive readout. The sponsor approves structure, roles and talent plans.

  6. Roll out

    Regional workshops, field certification, and handover to the leaders who will run it.

Value Advisors

Every seller selling on value, every customer shown what they got. Our sister practice builds business value agents for Claude: research an account, size the value at stake, write the point of view, and track realized value after the sale. Every number traces to a source or a stated assumption.
