empowering growth with a proven system

How do we start?
It starts with a direct conversation.  Every engagement then opens with a 3-phase Forensic Assessment: a structured diagnostic that maps exactly where the business is performing or bleeding against your goals.  This is not a passive review.  It is a working diagnostic inside the business - focusing on how things are actually running, not how they are being reported to run.  

How long does the Forensic Assessment take? 

Typically we spend 7-10 business days together onsite running through 3 phases: Discovery, Analysis, Presentation.  I work directly with leadership and key stakeholders - including the people the business relies on day-to-day to understand how execution really happen - review systems, and short, medium and long range goals.  Then I move through the analysis phase - examining what is actually transpiring inside the business before presenting the findings and recommended next steps.

What happens after the Forensic Assessment is complete? 

Upon completion, a Scope of Work is presented on gaps and execution deployment strategies.  This will range from recommendations of existing staff and training, to a 100 day sprint for embedded work, or for longer engagements, an ongoing Fractional Operator arrangement.

Do you advise or do you execute?
Execute. ER3 is embedded in the business - not writing strategy decks from the outside.  The work gets done alongside your team.

What size companies does ER3 work with?

Product-focused businesses, typically in the $5-20M range.  Founder-led, investor-backed, or European-owned US subsidiaries facing a specific operational inflection point.

What does it cost to get started?
The Forensic Assessment is a flat-fee engagement.  From there, execution work is scoped based on findings.  There are no surprises and nothing is open-ended.

Do I have to commit to any long-term engagements up front?
No.  Once the Forensic Assessment is complete, the choice on how to proceed is yours.  There is no obligation to act on anything the assessment surfaces.  Most clients do continue - because the findings make the next obvious steps.

ER3 is not for companies looking for advice without execution.
If you want presentations, recommendations, or theoretical strategies without real change, this is not the right fit.

ER3 is not for teams unwilling to be challenged.
The work requires confronting reality - financially, operationally, and organizationally.  If the organization is not ready for that level of transparency, engagement will stall.

ER3 is not for businesses seeking incremental improvement.
This is not about optimizing at the edges.  Engagements are built around structural change, not minor adjustments.

ER3 is not for fully built, high-functioning organizations.
If your systems, leadership alignment, and execution cadence are already operating at a high level, ER3 will not add meaningful value.

ER3 is not for passive or hands-off leadership teams.
Results require engagement.  If leadership is not willing to participate, make decisions, and drive accountability, outcomes will be limited.

ER3 is not built for comfort - it’s built for results.
If the business is not ready for change, this will not be the right fit.
