$2M–$5M Revenue · Growth Stage

Past Survival
Mode. Systems
Showing Cracks.

You're past the "where is my next customer coming from" phase. The business is working. But the systems you built at $500K are breaking under the pressure of $3M. You're not ready for a full COO engagement — and you're too big for DIY.

Before we recommend anything, we run two free diagnostics. One identifies your personal operational bottleneck. One tells you what your business is actually worth to a buyer. Start there.

Diagnose Before
You Prescribe.

Every engagement — regardless of size — starts with a diagnosis. Not a pitch, not a proposal. A score. These two assessments tell us everything we need to know about where to start with you.

Personal Operational Bottleneck
OIL Life
Assessment
For: The Operator Behind the Business
A depleted operator runs a depleted business. This assessment scores you across health, wealth, and relationships — and identifies the single personal constraint holding your operational capacity back. Quarterly check-in for every OAG client.

Business Valuation Readiness
Exit Ready
Assessment
For: The Business You're Building
Most $2M–$5M businesses are worth $0 to a buyer without the owner. This assessment scores you across 5 valuation dimensions and tells you exactly what's suppressing your exit multiple — whether you plan to sell or not. Knowing this number changes how you build.

After the Assessments

Here's What
Happens Next.

The assessments aren't a funnel into a sales call. They're a real diagnostic. Here's what we actually do with the results:

01
We Review Both Scores
Cedric reviews your OIL score and your Exit Ready score before any conversation. You're not walking into a pitch — you're walking into a debrief.
02
You Get a Real Recommendation
Based on both scores, we'll tell you exactly where to start — $50 Stack, OIL Your Life, Legacy Ledger, or an OAG engagement. Or nothing, if that's the honest answer.
03
One Conversation, Zero Pitch
30 minutes. We'll either have a clear path forward or we'll tell you it's not the right time. Either way, you leave with more clarity than you came in with.
Depending on Your Scores
