Most companies at $1M–$20M ARR don't have a growth problem. They have a visibility problem — they can't see where their growth system is breaking down, which dimension is the primary constraint, or what fixing it would be worth in dollars. Markspeed was built to answer those questions precisely and install the systems to address them.
The standard consulting model gives you a strategy deck and leaves. The standard agency model executes tactics without a diagnosis. Neither tells you where the system is breaking down or what it's costing you.
Markspeed is built on a different premise: the diagnosis comes first, always. And the deliverable is a system installed in your own tools — not a PDF you file away.
The Growth System Readiness Index scores companies 0–100 across six dimensions. Each dimension maps to a revenue outcome. The framework applies to both B2B and B2C — calibrated separately for each segment from day one.
How you attract and track new customers — channels, attribution, CAC by source. A low score here means you're spending without knowing what works.
How you turn prospects into customers — funnel stages, close rate, checkout flow, recovery sequences. A low score means qualified leads are leaking at stages you haven't mapped.
How you keep and expand customers — onboarding, churn signals, repeat purchase rate, LTV. A low score means new revenue is offsetting churn instead of compounding.
How you track what matters — dashboard quality, CAC, LTV, funnel metrics. A low score means every growth decision is a guess — and most guesses are expensive.
How you test and learn — hypothesis discipline, A/B testing, learning velocity. A low score means changes ship with no way to know if they worked.
How you course-correct — review cadence, KPI ownership, iteration speed. A low score means the company reacts to symptoms instead of causes.
No system gets installed before we know exactly what's broken. The GSRI audit is embedded in every paid engagement — not as an upsell, but as the non-negotiable starting point. Installing a system before you understand the constraint is the most expensive mistake in growth.
Strategy decks don't grow businesses — operating systems do. Every Markspeed engagement ends with a system installed in your own tools, an operational playbook your team can follow, and a GSRI delta report showing exactly what changed. We measure the before and the after. That's the product.
The GSRI framework combines a proprietary diagnostic methodology with AI algorithms and machine learning to score, benchmark, and synthesize growth data at a depth that traditional consulting can't match. Every deliverable is the output of a system designed by us — not a generic tool or a templated report.
The companies we work with are past initial traction and moving fast. A six-month discovery process isn't what they need — a two-week diagnosis and a clear prioritized plan is. Tier 1 delivers in two weeks. The Free Scan delivers in eight minutes. Every tier is designed to give you clarity before asking for more commitment.
The GSRI score before and after every engagement is the measurement that replaces vague claims of value. You can see exactly which dimensions moved, by how much, and against what benchmark. We don't ask you to trust that the work made a difference — we show you the delta.
If your Free Scan score doesn't warrant a paid engagement, we'll say so. If your primary bottleneck isn't what you thought it was, we'll show you the data. If the timing isn't right, we'll tell you. A client who gets the right advice — even if it's "not now" — is more valuable than a client pushed into an engagement that doesn't fit.
Every engagement is designed to produce a system your team can operate independently. We're not building dependency — we're building infrastructure.
The GSRI scoring, benchmarking, and diagnostic engine is built on AI algorithms and machine learning developed specifically for this framework. Every deliverable is produced by a system we designed — trained on growth data across B2B and B2C companies in the USA and Canada. The result is diagnostic depth and analytical precision that isn't achievable through manual consulting alone.
Every system we build lives in your environment — your CRM, your analytics stack, your Notion workspace. When the engagement ends, the system keeps running. There's no dependency on Markspeed's infrastructure, no proprietary platform to log into, no subscription required to use what we built.
The GSRI score before the engagement is the baseline. The score after is the proof. Every tier ends with a delta report — showing which dimensions moved, by how much, and against the benchmark. You don't have to take our word for it. The data makes the case.
Tier 1 delivers in two weeks. The Free Scan delivers in eight minutes. Speed to diagnosis is a design choice — because the most expensive thing a growth-stage company can do is spend three months in discovery before anything gets fixed. The playbook we leave behind is built to run for years.
The GSRI benchmark is calibrated for companies that already have revenue, customers, and a growth problem they can feel but can't name.
The Free Scan takes 8 minutes and tells you exactly which dimension is your primary constraint. Everything else follows from that.
