One challenge. One session. A clear path forward.

A focused 90-minute working session for executives who need structured, senior-level input on a specific operating challenge — without the scope or timeline of a full engagement. You bring the problem; we work through it together and you leave with a defined point of view, clearly framed tradeoffs, and a prioritized set of next steps.

Deliverable:  Written summary with findings, recommendations, and owner-ready action items, delivered within 72 hours.

Ideal for:  CEOs and senior leaders navigating a specific decision — an alignment breakdown, a stalled initiative, a governance gap, or a restructuring question. Also appropriate for leaders evaluating whether a deeper engagement is the right next step.

A complete diagnostic. A prioritized roadmap.

A structured 3–4 week evaluation of how your organization plans, decides, and executes — end to end. Where a Strategic Consultation addresses a single challenge, the Operating Assessment examines the system: how strategy is communicated, how ownership is assigned, how decisions get made, and where execution reliably breaks down.

Deliverable:  Executive findings summary, documented gap analysis, and a prioritized 90-day action roadmap — with ownership, sequencing, and success criteria defined — presented to your leadership team.

Ideal for:  Organizations preparing for a growth inflection, post-investment integration, or leadership transition. Also for companies experiencing persistent alignment or execution failures who need an honest, outside-in view before investing in deeper operating support.

Defined problem. Fixed timeline. Measurable outcome.

A time-bound engagement — typically 60–90 days — concentrated on a specific operating priority where speed matters. The Sprint is for organizations that need decisive movement on a known problem without committing to an ongoing retainer. It begins with a structured kickoff and closes with documented deliverables and a clear transition or continuation plan.

Deliverable:  Scoped initiative completed and documented against agreed success criteria, with a close-out summary and recommended continuation steps.

Ideal for:  Post-acquisition integration, operating model resets, stalled cross-functional initiatives, and strategic planning cycles where the problem is defined and execution pace is the constraint.

Senior operating capacity, embedded in your leadership team.

An ongoing monthly engagement providing dedicated fractional CAO or Chief of Staff capacity. Unlike traditional fractional arrangements — which are structured around hours and billed accordingly — Clearpath retainers are defined by organizational outcomes and operating milestones, not time logged.

Each retainer is scoped to your organization's complexity and includes a defined set of priorities, accountability structures, and progress milestones. Where results warrant it, engagements include a performance component tied to measurable outcomes — a shared-upside structure that aligns our incentives with yours.

Deliverable:  Measurable improvement in operating cadence, cross-functional alignment, and execution visibility — with performance milestones built into the engagement design from the outset.

Ideal for:  Growth-stage companies scaling beyond founder bandwidth, PE-backed organizations in active value-creation periods or between executive hires, and companies requiring consistent senior operating discipline without the overhead of a full-time executive.
