You built something exceptional. Now the operations can't keep up.
We embed systems engineering discipline and managerial accounting clarity into your business — so you can scale past your first major contracts without breaking.
We start with a focused, fixed-fee diagnostic. Founders say yes to a defined sprint far more easily than an open-ended commitment — and delivered well, the retainer conversation happens naturally.
We listen for operational and financial pain — contract fulfillment pressure, margin visibility, team gaps, missed milestones. You'll know by the end whether we're the right fit.
Deep operational and financial diagnostic. We map your processes, run your job costing, identify the highest-leverage gaps, and deliver a prioritized action plan with a financial case for each recommendation.
We implement the plan together. SOPs, KPI dashboards, managerial accounting integration, cross-functional coordination, prime contractor compliance, and monthly operational reviews.
"We don't consult from the outside. We've lived inside prime contractors, managed defense programs, and built companies from the ground up."
Our clients are engineers and scientists running companies. Exceptional at the product. Dealing with operational and financial chaos that's limiting their growth.
10–100 employees. Winning prime contracts but struggling to fulfill them. AS9100 compliance burden. Job costing complexity. On-time delivery pressure you can't afford to miss.
Hardware-forward companies where the technical problem is solved but operational infrastructure hasn't kept pace. Margins shrinking without a clear explanation.
Just landed your first major government contract. Workforce planning, delivery timelines, and cross-functional coordination are suddenly all critical. We know this transition intimately.
Revenue is real, growth is happening, but the foundation isn't ready. Before the next hire or the next contract, build the systems that scale with you — not against you.
We're not generalist consultants who read about operations. We've lived inside the industry we serve — on both sides of the prime-supplier relationship.
Our team has operated inside prime contractors. We know exactly what's expected from suppliers — and where the gaps form under pressure.
We anchor every recommendation in your internal cost data — contribution margins, variance analysis, job costing for defense contracts. Almost no fractional COO in A&D does this.
Our advisors bring military operations experience and deep relationships across the Utah A&D ecosystem — including the 47G network of 200+ member companies.
Systems engineering rigor. Managerial accounting literacy. Deep roots in the A&D ecosystem. We understand your world from the inside.
We ask about your contract fulfillment pressure, margin visibility, and where your team's time disappears. By the end of the call, both of us know whether it's the right fit.
We go deep — operational mapping, job costing, bottleneck identification — and deliver a prioritized action plan with a financial case for every recommendation.
We implement the plan together. SOPs, dashboards, accounting integration, hiring frameworks. The retainer conversation happens naturally — clients ask what comes next.
Every engagement is documented. This is how we build — and prove — our pattern library.
High violation rates during control tuning and field deployment. Standard review processes weren't catching root causes before MDA milestone reviews, threatening prime contractor relationships.
Vendor relationships and working groups lacked structured milestone visibility, exposing coordination gaps across the supplier network during prime contractor reviews.
60 minutes. No pitch. We listen for operational pain and tell you honestly whether we can help.
A technical founder in aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing. You're winning contracts but operations feel reactive. Margins are shrinking without explanation. You need fractional COO support — not a full-time salary.
A 60-minute phone call. We'll ask about your operational pain, your numbers, and where growth is stalling. You'll leave with at least one clear insight — whether we work together or not.
