We don't bill hours.
We participate in outcomes
Catalyst's Value Participation Model aligns operators and owners around execution, accountability, and enterprise value — without consultants, retainers, or control loss.
Consulting is broken. Incentives matter.
Traditional consulting rewards activity, not results.
Private equity rewards control, not continuity.
Owners absorb the risk either way.
The Value Participation Model was built to change that. Instead of billing for advice, Catalyst aligns compensation to value creation. Operators share responsibility for execution and outcomes — not just recommendations.
No decks. No handoffs. No excuses.
How the Value Participation Model Works
People
Every engagement begins with the Growth MRI™ — a fixed-price, private-equity-style diagnostic that identifies the real constraints across people, process, technology, and capital.
Execute with Operators
Experienced operators execute the Growth Prescription™ with the owner. This is hands-on, outcome-driven execution — not advisory oversight.
Participate in Value
Compensation is tied to measurable improvements and enterprise value creation. Participation is structured primarily through phantom equity or performance-based participation — without ownership transfer or control loss.
Value participation is only discussed after diagnostic clarity is established.
Optionality Built In
The Value Participation Model is designed to work alongside your business, not replace your leadership. You choose the engagement depth, the timeline, and the outcomes that matter most to your company.
Owners retain full decision-making authority at every stage.
