Growth MRI™
Sample Diagnostic Summary
A private-equity-style diagnostic of enterprise value drivers
SAMPLE — NOT A REAL GROWTH MRI™
Illustrative example. Diagnostic inputs and scoring omitted.
What This Is / Is Not
What this is
A diagnostic summary designed to identify the few constraints that most influence enterprise value.
It replaces intuition with evidence and supports decisions about where to focus — and where not to.
What this is not
- Not a valuation
- Not a consulting deliverable
- Not a list of initiatives
This report is designed to create clarity, not activity.
Company Profile (Illustrative)
- Founder-led, owner-operated business
- Revenue: $10–25M range
- EBITDA: Mid-single-digit margins
- Objective: Improve leverage, reduce dependency, preserve optionality
This example is illustrative and does not represent a real company.
Enterprise Value Overview
This analysis treats the business as an asset. The diagnostic signals indicate a material gap between current enterprise value and potential value under improved operating conditions.
Current enterprise value
Mid–single to low–double-digit range
Potential enterprise value
Meaningfully higher if key constraints are resolved
Value gap
Driven primarily by execution friction rather than market demand
Note: These ranges are illustrative. Outcomes depend on sequencing, risk reduction, and execution quality.
Value Driver Heatmap
The heatmap highlights where enterprise value is constrained, not where effort is being applied.
People
Inconsistent decision flow increases execution risk
Fragile
Process
Core workflows limit scalability and predictability
Constraining
Technology
Systems support operations but limit visibility
Mixed
Capital
Capital availability is not the primary constraint
Strong
Diagnostic inputs, scoring, and weighting are intentionally omitted.
This sample illustrates diagnostic outputs only. Assessment inputs, scoring logic, weighting, and benchmarks are intentionally omitted. Each Growth MRI™ is bespoke and requires interpretation by experienced operators.
The following sections illustrate diagnostic outputs only. Underlying inputs and scoring are intentionally excluded.
Primary Constraint: Decision Latency
The most significant limiter of enterprise value is decision latency, not demand.
When decisions are delayed or concentrated, execution slows, accountability weakens, and risk increases. These effects directly suppress enterprise value.
This is a structural issue. It cannot be solved through additional effort alone.
Example Flags That Matter
The following flags commonly affect buyer perception and value outcomes:
Founder-centered decision flow
Signals scalability risk and sustained owner dependency.
Inconsistent operating cadence
Reduces predictability and increases diligence friction.
Fragmented performance visibility
Obscures priorities and complicates leadership alignment.
Each Growth MRI™ surfaces a unique risk profile based on business context.
Value Gap Breakdown
Enterprise value gaps are rarely distributed evenly. In this example, unrealized value is concentrated in a small number of areas:
Execution leverage
High impact once decision clarity improves
Operational scalability
Moderate to high impact after sequencing issues are resolved
Risk compression
Meaningful value creation through reduced variability
These estimates are directional and intended for prioritization, not valuation modeling.
Priority Path
The Growth MRI™ establishes sequencing discipline, not task lists.
Priority 1
Resolve the primary constraint
Downstream improvements compound only after this is addressed.
Priority 2
Stabilize execution cadence
Consistency and accountability follow improved decision flow.
Priority 3
Enable scalable leverage
Additional investment becomes predictable only after the above conditions are met.
Actual priorities depend on the diagnostic profile of the business.
How Owners Use This
Owners use the Growth MRI™ to:
- Align leadership around what truly matters
- Decide where to focus — and what to ignore
- Reduce execution risk before scaling or transitioning
- Preserve strategic and financial optionality
