Keep an independent second opinion in the room, every month.
The Clarix Growth Diagnostic tells you where growth is leaking. The Clarix Growth Roadmap tells you how to fix it. Advisory is for when you want a senior growth lead beside you while you fix it: building the plan, reviewing the numbers, deciding where the next dollar goes, and checking every pitch before you say yes.
When competing decisions keep coming, Advisory keeps them aligned
Once you know what to fix first, the pitches do not stop. A new agency wants the account. A lead vendor has a better list. A recruiter has the perfect closer. The board wants a plan for the next quarter.
Every one of those is a new decision, and every vendor behind it has an answer that happens to be what they sell.
Advisory means you never make one of those calls without an independent view on whether it is actually the problem.
Find the constraint. Build the plan. Prove it is working.
Advisory is not a standalone retainer. It is the second half of one process, built on the evidence from your Clarix Growth Diagnostic.
Clarix Growth Diagnostic: find the constraint
We measure your baseline and trace where growth is actually leaking.
Your Growth Diagnostic and Constraint Map, plus the first part of your Clarix Growth Roadmap, the Growth Priorities Roadmap:
- Every constraint ranked by impact, effort and confidence
- The highest-leverage opportunities
- What not to pursue
Build the rest of the plan
We turn your priorities into a focused, economically rational growth strategy by completing your Clarix Growth Roadmap.
- Growth Experiment Plan: growth hypotheses, the experiments or campaigns to test them, and the success metrics that tell you what is working
- 90-Day Growth Execution Plan: what happens, when, who owns it, and the vetted specialists matched to the work
Prove it and improve it
Month by month, we measure results against your baseline and decide what to double down on, change or stop.
- Growth Performance Report: leading and lagging indicators against your baseline, every month
- Growth Optimization Plan: what the results taught us, and what changes next
The Growth Priorities Roadmap tells you what to fix first. Advisory is how it actually gets fixed.
It's independent, unbiased direction
Most growing businesses do not need a full growth department. They need someone senior enough to decide what that department would have done.
What Advisory is
- Strategic growth guidance
- Monthly and quarterly planning
- Budget allocation decisions
- Campaign and channel decisions
- Performance reviews against your numbers
- KPI definition and tracking
- Opportunity identification
- Vendor and specialist coordination
- Accountability for the priorities you set
What Advisory is not
- Running your social media
- Designing your graphics
- Writing your posts and captions
- Managing your ad accounts day to day
- Building your website
- A retainer that quietly turns into an agency
Nine areas a senior growth lead owns. Without the salary line.
Strategic guidance
A standing point of contact for the growth decisions that do not fit neatly into anyone’s job description.
Monthly and quarterly planning
What we are doing this month, what we are doing this quarter, and what we have decided not to do yet.
Budget allocation
Where the next dollar goes and what it is expected to return, reviewed as the results come in.
Campaign and channel decisions
Whether to run it, how to structure the offer, what to test, and when to stop.
Performance reviews
A structured monthly look at what the numbers say, in business terms rather than platform metrics.
KPI tracking
A small set of metrics tied to revenue and retention. For SaaS: pipeline, MRR, churn, CAC and payback. For brokerages: new business, renewal retention, lead response and producer output.
Opportunity identification
New segments, channels, offers and partnerships worth a look, and the ones worth ignoring. Often the fastest growth is already in your existing customer base.
Specialist coordination
Briefing your agencies, freelancers and vendors properly, reviewing their work, and telling you when it is not good enough.
Accountability
Someone whose job is to ask whether last quarter’s priorities actually happened.
Advisory works because it is regular focus.
The same questions, asked on a schedule, are what stop growth from drifting back to whatever feels urgent this month.
Monthly strategy session
A working session with you and, where relevant, your team: what happened, what it means, what changes.
Growth Performance Report
Your KPIs against the baseline and the plan, with a short written summary you can forward to your board, investors or partners.
Quarterly Growth Optimization Plan
Double down, change or stop, based on what the last 90 days proved. Then reset priorities, reallocate budget and build the next 90-Day Growth Execution Plan. Ready to take into the board room or the partners’ meeting.
A second opinion between sessions
When a proposal, quote or pitch lands on your desk, send it over before you say yes. Especially useful when someone is pitching you hard.
Advisory works well if:
- You are a B2B SaaS founder, including fintech and insurtech, or the principal of an independent insurance brokerage.
- You are spending on growth but have no senior growth decision-maker.
- You have a junior marketing or sales team who need direction, not replacement.
- You are working with several agencies, freelancers or vendors and nobody is joining it up.
- Growth decisions keep landing on your desk without enough context to judge them.
- You answer to a board, investors or partners and need a plan you can defend.
- You have completed Clarix and want help acting on the priorities properly.
It is not the right fit if you need
- Someone to run your channels day to day
- Content produced every week
- An agency by another name

Questions.
Because we don’t advise on a business we haven’t examined. Clarix gives us your baseline, your constraints and your Growth Priorities Roadmap. Advisory builds the rest of the plan on that evidence.
No. We set direction and hold execution to account. The doing stays with your team, your agencies or specialists we recommend.
No. Advisory usually makes them more effective: better briefs, clearer priorities, and someone to settle the arguments about what matters.
No. We are not paid to recommend any channel, agency, tool or vendor.
Yes. We work with businesses across the Caribbean and the diaspora, and most of the work happens remotely.
Advisory begins with a diagnosis.
