PHASE 01
A structured 10-day audit of your GTM, financials, team structure, and competitive position. We produce a written diagnosis with ranked constraints — not a slide deck, a decision document.
PHASE 02
We design the operating model changes: ICP tightening, pricing architecture, pipeline motion, org design, or board narrative. Everything is tied to a specific number it's built to move.
PHASE 03
Embedded in your leadership team, we run the operating rhythm: weekly reviews, pipeline calls, cross-functional unblocking. We hold the accountability structure while your team owns delivery.
PHASE 04
At 90 days, we hand off a documented playbook, operating cadence, and the metrics scorecard. Your team continues without dependency on Axiom. That's the design.
A fractional CSO engagement is a defined 90-day sprint embedded inside your leadership team. We set strategy, run the operating rhythm, and hand off documented playbooks. No retainers, no fluffy advisory — just results with evidence.
Series A to C B2B companies with $2M–$50M ARR hitting a revenue plateau, broken GTM, or a board who wants a plan before the next raise. We are not a fit for pre-product or pre-revenue companies.
Book the strategy consult. We run a 60-minute diagnostic conversation, then scope a formal engagement within 48 hours. First deliverable in week two. Current availability: two engagement slots open per quarter.
Engagements are scoped after the diagnostic. Most 90-day fractional CSO engagements run $18,000–$36,000 total — no hourly billing, no retainer ambiguity. You know the number before you sign.
Yes. Roughly 40% of engagements originate from a board or lead investor who needs a plan before the next milestone. We present to boards, participate in investor diligence, and have advised on three Series B and two Series C processes in the past 18 months.
60 minutes. We'll run a rapid diagnostic on your current constraints, and you'll leave with a prioritised view of where revenue is being left on the table. No pitch. No deck. Blunt assessment.
