A growth system
without iteration
becomes infrastructure.

You installed the system. Your team runs it. But growth systems degrade against changing markets, new competitors, and evolving ICP behavior — without someone actively improving them.

"The system works. But it's working on last year's assumptions. Our market shifted. Our ICP changed. The playbooks haven't."

What Growth OS clients say before starting Evolution
📉

Benchmarks move. Your targets don't.

Market-average CAC, conversion rate, and churn benchmarks shift every quarter. A system calibrated against 12-month-old data makes decisions against a target that no longer exists.

🔁

The weakest dimension holds back the whole system.

After installation, each GSRI dimension improves at a different rate. Without quarterly prioritization, the system's ceiling is set by whichever dimension is lagging — not by where you're strong.

🧭

Strategic decisions have nowhere to go.

New channel, pricing shift, competitor move, sales hire. Without an active strategic layer, these decisions get made reactively — or not made at all.

One sprint per quarter.
Each one moves
a specific metric.

Sprint focus is determined by your GSRI benchmark data at the start of each quarter — not pre-assigned. The dimension with the highest revenue leverage gets the sprint.

Data-driven sprint brief

🚀
4 Quarterly Growth Sprints
One per quarter · each with a defined output and measurable outcome
Each sprint starts with a data pull from your running OS — GSRI scores, CAC by channel, conversion rate, churn metrics. A sprint brief identifies the highest-leverage dimension. Two working sessions follow: build or iterate, then validate.

Year-End GSRI Benchmark Review

At Q4, your GSRI scores are measured against the Markspeed benchmark database — segmented by revenue range, business model, and geography. You see exactly where you stand relative to the market, and where the next year should focus.

Async Strategic Access
Between sprints — decisions answered when they need to be made
The value of a strategic layer isn't always in the scheduled sessions. New channel opportunity, pricing decision, team change, competitor move — these need a response when they happen, not at the next quarterly review.

You decide to renew
with next year's plan

The Year-End Review is designed so the renewal conversation is a decision about direction — not about whether to continue.

Year 2 sprint roadmap

Four proposed sprints for next year — with rationale, expected outcome, and GSRI dimension targets. The renewal decision comes with the plan already built.

Target renewal rate

Renewals are driven by evidence, not by relationship.

The Year-End Review shows measurable GSRI progression against market benchmarks. The renewal proposal includes next year's priorities before the conversation happens. The client renews because they can see where the system needs to go — not because they're committed to a vendor.

renewal rate
If you don't renew

The system stays yours — fully documented, running in your tools, owned by your team. No Markspeed dependency to operate it. Evolution is not required to keep the OS running. It's the layer that keeps it improving. You can re-enter at any time.

Growth decisions
don't wait for the
next quarterly review.

Async access means the strategic layer is available when the decision needs to be made — not three months later.

📡

Channel and spend decisions

New channel showing signal. Budget reallocation. Underperforming spend. Async review of the hypothesis and the data — before you commit the budget.

Hiring and team structure

Growth hypothesis review

Before running an experiment, pricing test, or ICP expansion — a structured review of the hypothesis, measurement approach, and decision criteria. So the learning is useful, not accidental.

For founders who
know what they built
and want it to compound.

Not for founders still figuring out if they have a system. For founders who have one and want it to keep improving.

✓ This is for you if

You've completed the Growth OS Installation and the system has been running for 60–90 days minimum
$5M–$15M ARR — at this stage, benchmark drift is measurable and costly
Your team runs the playbooks — you're not in the loop on daily execution
You want the system to compound — not just maintain
You make strategic growth decisions and want a structured layer to pressure-test them

✕ Not the right fit if

You haven't completed the Growth OS Installation — start there first
You're below $5M ARR — the quarterly sprint cadence requires sufficient data volume to generate meaningful signal
Your team isn't running the playbooks yet — Evolution is not implementation support
You want someone to manage growth for you — Evolution is strategic iteration, not execution

that keeps compounding.

questions

See the Growth OS Installation →
What does Growth OS Evolution cost?+
$36,000 per year — billed as $3,000 per month. Annual commitment, no variable fees. Includes 4 quarterly growth sprints (2 working sessions each), the Year-End GSRI Benchmark Review, async strategic access with 24-business-hour response, and all playbook updates within the year.
Do I need to complete the Growth OS Installation first?+
Yes — and for a specific reason. Evolution iterates on an installed system. Without architecture, playbooks, and at least one quarter of live data, sprints spend time building rather than improving. The Installation is what makes Evolution effective, not just a gate to pass through.
How long after the Installation should I wait?+
60–90 days minimum. The system needs a full quarter of running data before sprint briefs can be based on evidence rather than assumption. The first sprint is most effective when you can see what the system is actually generating — CAC by channel, conversion by stage, churn signals — not what you expected it to generate.
What exactly happens in a quarterly sprint?+
Each sprint starts with a data review from your running OS — current GSRI scores, key metric performance, benchmark comparison. A sprint brief identifies the highest-leverage dimension. Two working sessions follow: the first builds or iterates the playbook or experiment, the second validates it. A sprint review documents what changed and proposes next-quarter priorities.
What if I want to cancel mid-year?+
Evolution is an annual commitment — the quarterly structure and Year-End Review require the full year to generate meaningful output. A single quarter isn't enough data to drive a useful sprint brief, and it's not enough time to show GSRI progression. The commitment is annual by design.
What happens to my system if I don't renew?+
The system stays yours — fully documented, running in your tools, owned by your team. No Markspeed dependency to operate it. Evolution is the layer that keeps it improving. Without it, the system continues; it just doesn't iterate. You can re-enter Evolution at any point if the need returns.
