The method
The Build, in detail.
The full method, the sequence, and what you are responsible for.
01.
Strategy
Weeks 01–03
We architect the commercial engine and map the clearest path to value. What the business sells, to whom, at what price, and why you are the person who should sell it. The dead ends are closed before any money is spent building them.
- Positioning statement and offer architecture
- Price list and commercial model
- Buyer map for your domain
- Delivery model documented as a repeatable process
02.
Build
Weeks 03–12
We assemble the assets and systems and lay the foundation for scale. Nothing here is theoretical: at the end of the building phase the entity exists, the contracts are signed off, the pricing is set, and the first outbound sequences are live.
- Entity, domain name, and standard client contract
- Brand, strategy, and a single-purpose website
- Sales process, data sourced, commercial plan
- Reporting you can audit from day one
03.
Grow
Months 03–10
We run outbound, partnerships and pipeline alongside you until the business is generating revenue independently. You lead the clients; we build the systems and capability around you. By handover, you know how to operate and scale the business without us.
- Outbound run weekly, with reporting you can audit
- Partnership and referral routes opened in your domain
- Sales training: calls, objections, pricing, retention
- AI systems for research, drafting, and delivery leverage
- Weekly community sessions with the other owners
04.
Handover
Months 10–12
Accounts, playbooks, relationships, technology, clients and IP transfer to you. Sixth Strand steps back to a minority position, with additional operational support available where required.
- Transfer of all accounts, domains, and tooling
- Written playbooks for sales, delivery, and reporting
- Client introductions and relationship handover
- Sixty days of advisory after transfer
- Outsourced sales team available
Strategy. Execution. Growth. Ownership.
What we build, and what we do not.
We build
The productised professional practice
We leverage your expertise to improve outcomes for companies in your sector. Most pain points are not improved today by adding headcounts, but by tapping into your expertise on how to solve them. We sell outcomes in your sector, leveraging your combined expertise with frontier technology to improve revenues, better decision making, or cost and time savings. We set defined scopes at a defined price, so your business can scale without you selling your time.
A recurring service into a vertical you know
A monthly retainer sold to buyers you already understand, because that is how your business compounds.
We decline
Software from zero
The build window is engineering time, not commercial time.
Anything needing capital beyond the fee
We build businesses that fund themselves from client revenue.
Anything outside your domain
Without existing authority the timeline roughly doubles.
We don’t sell AI, we sell subject matter expertise and outcomes.
