Question 1

How does CoreScale support PE and VC portfolio companies?

Accepted Answer

CoreScale embeds proven operators into portfolio companies to stabilize operations, improve margins, and accelerate integration. We act as hands-on execution partners, not just advisors.

Question 2

What’s the difference between a CoreScale operator and a consultant?

Accepted Answer

Consultants diagnose problems. CoreScale operators fix them. We take line control, execute fast, and tie outcomes to measurable results in performance and valuation.

Question 3

How does CoreScale integrate with existing portfolio teams?

Accepted Answer

We plug in alongside existing management, driving structure and accountability without adding overhead. Weekly reporting and KPI dashboards keep investors informed in real time.

Question 4

How does CoreScale accelerate integration after acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Within the first 30–45 days, we identify bottlenecks, standardize reporting, and tighten sales and ops handoffs. This creates immediate traction and clean financial visibility post-close.

Question 5

Can CoreScale provide interim leadership during transitions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deploy fractional CFO, COO, or CMO leadership to maintain momentum and de-risk transitions until permanent executives are in place.

Question 6

How do fractional operating models improve ROI?

Accepted Answer

Fractional operators inject senior execution talent only when needed — lowering fixed costs while driving faster returns across the portfolio.

Question 7

What is the 90-Day Business Acceleration Pattern?

Accepted Answer

It’s CoreScale’s fast-track model for measurable impact. In 90 days, we lock one key outcome, eliminate friction, execute targeted fixes, and close the loop with before-and-after metrics.

Question 8

What’s CoreScale’s role in value creation before exit?

Accepted Answer

We clean up operations, lift EBITDA margins, and position the business with a clear 3–5 year growth story — all before the broker or banker gets involved.

Question 9

How does CoreScale ensure accountability and measurable outcomes?

Accepted Answer

We run on a structured cadence — weekly ops reviews, KPI dashboards, and clear R/Y/G performance tracking — so every improvement is visible and reportable.

Question 10

How does CoreScale fit into PE and VC ownership models?

Accepted Answer

CoreScale acts as a flexible execution arm. We support add-ons, bridge integrations, or run rapid interventions — all aligned with investor timelines and exit objectives.

The 90-Day Value Sprint

Budgets are tight, scrutiny is high. The fastest wins this year come from fixing where dollars stall—not from bigger headcount or endless diagnostics. Our 90-day pattern focuses on 3–5 levers that move cash and capacity quickly.

The 90-Day Pattern (Timeline Layout)

Weeks 0–1 — Outcome Lock-In

Pick one measurable outcome (e.g., shorten quote-to-cash by 10 days).

Agree on simple R/Y/G dashboard before kickoff.

Weeks 2–4 — Friction Map

Trace where value leaks: lead→opportunity, quote→cash, ticket→resolution.

Instrument only 3–5 signals that matter.

Weeks 5–8 — Interventions

Tighten pipeline rules & handoffs.

Standardize pricing/approvals + e-sign.

Add self-serve for obvious support intents.

Weeks 9–12 — Close the Loop

Publish before/after with Finance.

Decide: scale, shelve, or swap.

Lock run-rate impact if scaling.

Three levers we’re deploying now

Pipeline rules > headcount
Define stage entry/exit, SLA handoffs, and auto-aging. Expect cleaner forecasts and faster cycle time without adding SDRs.

Quote-to-cash cleanup
Standard SKUs/pricing, auto-approval thresholds, e-sign, and invoice triggers tied to milestone completion.

Self-serve where customers want it
Route the top ten intents to guided self-serve; keep complex cases human. Measure deflection and satisfaction.
