The engagement
PXF-100™
One engagement, fixed in length, with a defined endpoint. The install occupies the first 90 days. The last ten are for proving it.
The shape of it
Install, then transfer.
Install is the first 90 days. The Five Tools go into the live business on real priorities, starting with the advisor in the room and ending with the team running it unprompted.
Transfer is what the install is for. Every phase hands more of the running back to your team, until the system holds with the founder out of the country and the advisor out of the building.
PXF-100™ is not a retainer with a nice name. It has an end, and the end is defined in advance by what has to be true, not by a date on an invoice.
The two gates
Two closings. Two different signatures.
These are deliberately separate. One is acceptance. The other is verification. Blurring them is how execution programs end up celebrating themselves.
Day 90
Installed
Closed by the owner
The system runs at standard and the owner accepts it. The owner's signature closes this gate — not the advisor's opinion.
Day 100
Certified
Closed by the advisor
A witnessed, dated demonstration with a second source on the record. Certification is verification, not celebration.
The Five Tools
What actually gets installed.
Five tools, named. What we do not publish is how each one is configured for a specific business — that is the work.
01
The Owner Rule
One name per outcome. Not a team, not a function, not a committee.
02
The Common Operating Picture
One place that shows priorities, owners, and status. Everyone reads the same page.
03
The Scoreboard
A short set of numbers with a value today and a value at done.
04
The Weekly
A short, fixed meeting that ends in commitments — not in discussion.
05
The Flag
A blocker raised by name, owned by name, on a clock.
The Five Success Drivers
What the install is measured against, week after week.
Ownership
Someone is answerable by name for the result.
Clarity
The standard of done is written before the work starts.
Discipline
The rule holds on the inconvenient day too.
Cadence
The rhythm survives busy seasons, vacations, and surprises.
Capacity
Overload forces a decision — stop, delay, delegate, or re-scope.
Who it suits
Three situations where PXF-100™ is the right call.
Founder-led companies
The owner is still the operating system. PXF-100™ is how that stops being true without the business skipping a beat.
Leadership teams at a breaking point
Good people, real demand, and a way of working that never caught up with the size of the company.
Companies before a growth step
Before the next hire, site, or contract, the structure has to be able to carry it. Growth does not fix execution; it magnifies it.
