Challenge: The company was struggling to scale, and investors suspected that the CEO—who had built the business from the ground up—was unintentionally blocking growth by holding onto too many decisions. 

Solution: Through our ASP Model (Ambition, Superpowers, Performance), we measured whether the CEO had transitioned from an Inventor/Builder to a Strategic Leader. The data supported hiring a COO to lead execution while allowing the CEO to focus on vision. 

Result: 

• Company valuation increased due to stronger leadership structure 

• Scaling accelerated without losing founder-driven culture 

• Private equity investors gained confidence in the company’s next growth phase
