Case studies

Three founders. Here's what was actually wrong.

Case 01 · Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage · Bakery · Growing team

"Sales are fine but the money doesn't stick."

The real problem

The revenue was real. The leak was the bin. Every loaf that didn't sell got thrown out at close. They were paying to bake it, then paying to bin it.

What we built

Polled the customers. 43% admitted they ate it cold anyway. We turned the day-old stock into a frozen product with a cream-cheese top and launched it. Then rebuilt operations to carry the growth.

"I used to make money and wonder where it went. Now I make more and keep more."

Case 02 · Media & Advertising

Influencer Marketing & Media · Founder-operated

"I hired people and I'm still doing everything myself."

The real problem

The founder was the whole operating system. No decision rights, no documentation, nothing ran without him. Campaigns went out months before a payment came in, so he was borrowing money to fund work he'd already sold.

What we built

Decision rights so the team could move without him. Documented the process. Restructured cash flow and killed the borrowing cycle. Turned his existing influencer relationships into a system that brought leads in.

"For the first time, I can grow the business instead of managing chaos."

Case 03 · Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage · Early stage · Small team

"We're not making money. Something is wrong."

The real problem

Bleeding $10,000 a month, propped up by the founder's own savings and credit cards. The food was good and the spot had foot traffic. Almost nobody outside the block knew the place existed.

What we built

A content system. What to post, how often, how to position the brand so the right people found it. Built so the team could run it without the founder driving every post.

"For the first time in a long while, I believed my business had a future."

The change we made

The version of this that failed.

Early on, we worked like every other firm. Diagnose it, write the strategy, hand over the document, leave.

The diagnosis was right. The roadmap was right. And nothing happened.

The founder read it, agreed with it, then ran the business the same way as before. Because the business doesn't stop moving while you fix it. The plan sat in a Drive folder. The systems never got built.

That was our fault. Not the diagnosis. The model. We handed people a map and left them alone in the building.

So we changed it. Every Build is now done with the founder, inside the operation, until the work is actually finished.

We don't hand over documents and walk away anymore.
