Growth Engineering

Most companies are pushing a car and calling it driving.

Sweating, straining, moving an inch at a time, convinced this is just what growth feels like. It isn't. There's an engine in there. Formula for Growth finds it, builds it, and tunes it past redline, until you're in a machine that pulls instead of one you push.

Growth should feel like acceleration, not labor.

The Work

Not a playbook. An engine.

Formula for Growth rebuilds how companies grow. Not one tactic, the whole system: how customers arrive, how fast they reach value, whether they stay, and whether that compounds into more customers. The diagnostic finds which part is mistuned, the fix gets built where it matters, and AI is woven through all of it so the engine runs hotter without burning more people.

AI tools are everywhere now, and anyone can wire one up. What's rare is knowing where to point them: reading the whole business, finding the fix that actually moves the number, and getting the order right. That's where we start — before a thing gets built.

The Engine · Diagnostic Readout

Four parts. One engine.

They only produce growth when they're tuned to each other. One part off and the whole engine knocks. Here's what it looks like running.

AI

The Multiplier

Every part runs hotter and with less manual tending when AI is built into it correctly. Built in, not bolted on.

Telemetry

The Proof

The readouts that show the engine is producing power. The number that's undeniably yours.

Companies call me when the warning light's on — and no one can tell which part of the engine is failing. The number that's supposed to climb has stalled, and the playbooks that used to work don't anymore.

I see why people really do what they do — not what the deck says they should. That thread runs through every kind of growth work: understanding customers, sharpening the offer, fixing where they get stuck, finding the few levers that actually move revenue, and using AI where it earns its place. Call it applied growth: I find the human reason growth stalls, then rebuild the system until it moves.

Startup unicorns, Fortune 500s, and Blackstone portfolio companies — different stage, different problem every time. I find the friction, build the right-sized fix, and hand back something that keeps working after I'm gone. No slideware, no optimization theater.

Is this you?

When growth throws a warning light.

Most companies feel the symptoms long before they can name the cause. If any of these sound familiar, the engine's trying to tell you something.

Companies call us when // Check engine light on
Growth has stalled and the old playbooks stopped working
Traffic shows up but customers don't convert
New users sign up once and never come back
Revenue is leaking and no one can say exactly where
There's a number to hit — a raise, a board target, an exit

We don't run playbooks.
We build engines.

If your growth feels like pushing, let's find the engine. Start with a Check Engine diagnostic, or score your engine free in fifteen minutes.
