Inside the engagement.
What your next 90 days actually look like — the cadence, the deliverables, and exactly how we keep you in the loop.
Your Weekly Cadence
What your week looks like.
A typical week during the engagement. Structured enough to drive progress, flexible enough to adapt.
Monday
Leadership Sync
30-minute call with Sarah. Review priorities, remove blockers, align on the week ahead.
Tuesday – Wednesday
On-Site Work
Up to 8 on-site days across Mesa, Chandler, and Tucson. Running assessments, interviewing teams, implementing changes in real-time.
Thursday
Data Review
Internal Galloway team reviews findings, updates KPI tracking, and prepares your weekly brief.
Friday
Progress Report
Written update delivered to Gary and Chad. What moved, what's next, any decisions needed.
Your Time Commitment
~2 Hours/Week
That's it. Monday sync + reading the Friday report. We handle everything else.
Installed Assets
What we actually hand you.
Not slide decks. Not recommendations. Finished, implemented, buyer-ready work product you keep forever.
Operational Diagnostic & Gap Analysis
Full diagnostic across all facilities. Benchmarked against industry standards. Every margin leak identified with a dollar figure attached.
Executable Cost Reduction Plan
Every savings initiative mapped with owner, timeline, and projected impact. Not a wish list — a project plan with weekly milestones.
Deployed KPI Dashboard
Built, not just designed. Live operational metrics a buyer can actually underwrite. You'll use this to run the business long after we're gone.
Standardized SOPs Installed
SOPs, workflow maps, and role documentation across all facilities. The buyer's diligence team will ask for this. It'll be ready.
Exit Readiness Scorecard
Where you stand on every dimension a buyer evaluates — operations, financials, leadership, systems. Gaps identified, fixes prioritized.
Buyer-Ready Financial Package
Financial narrative, data room structure, and buyer FAQ prep. Everything a buyer needs to underwrite confidently — packaged and rehearsed.
M&A Positioning Deck
The story a buyer sees first. Vantage's value proposition, growth thesis, and competitive moat — framed for maximum leverage in negotiations.
Leadership Transition Playbook
Documented consensus between Gary and Chad on exit timeline, valuation expectations, and deal structure preferences. The buyer will ask. You'll be ready.
Communication
You'll never wonder what's happening.
The number one complaint about consultants: "We paid them and then didn't hear from them for three weeks." That doesn't happen here.
Weekly
Written Progress Reports
Every Friday. What we did, what moved, what's next. No fluff, no filler — one page.
24hr
Response Time
Email or call. Sarah is your direct line. No account managers, no ticket systems, no runaround.
Day 45
Milestone Review
Formal checkpoint with Gary and Chad. Full progress assessment before the final payment is due. Built-in accountability.
"If you ever feel like you don't know what we're doing or why, that's a failure on our part — and we'll fix it that day."
— Derek Malone, Managing Partner
