Cost
$15,000One-time proof sprint. The fee covers the Ascend install scope if you graduate.
Ascend Pilot · proof sprint
One problem. Proven in 45 days.
The owner should not risk a full engine on a promise. Pilot is $15K to prove one costly problem against a captured baseline. That fee is set against a much larger assembled stack. The Pilot is the only door in.
What Pilot is
$15K to earn the next step.
The sprint has one job: prove one problem can move inside your real business. The $15K fee is less than half the assembled stack behind the same work. The Pilot is the only door in.
Window
45 daysA tight sprint. We pick one layer, wire proof, and show the decision clearly.
Start
DossierMarket rank, revenue leaks, proof gaps, and the first move are captured before build work starts.

DecisionKeep going into Ascend at $7,000/mo, or keep what was built and stop there.
What is inside
The sprint starts with the market, then moves one layer.
We do not start by guessing. The Market Dominance Dossier shows the field. Then the team selects the layer that should move closest to booked work.
- Market Dominance Dossier before the build starts.
- One highest-value layer selected from the proven Ascend menu.
- Attribution wiring so the baseline and movement are visible.
- Live dashboard that shows what changed and what still needs work.
- Day-45 decision: graduate into Ascend or leave with the built asset.
The timeline
Days 1-7. Days 8-30. Days 31-45.
The work moves in order. First we capture the baseline. Then we wire the layer. Then we run the proof and decide what the numbers say.
- 01 · Days 1-7
Map the market
We build the Market Dominance Dossier. It shows who appears before you, where buyers stall, what proof is missing, and which layer should move first.
- 02 · Days 8-30
Wire the first layer
We select the highest-value layer from the proven menu. Then we wire attribution, follow-up paths, and the live dashboard around that layer.
- 03 · Days 31-45
Run the proof
We watch the signals, clear the human gates, and report what changed. The final call is a decision, not a sales pitch.
The final decision
Keep going, or leave with the system piece you funded.
Pilot lowers the trust gap. If the proof is strong and both sides agree, Ascend begins at $7K/mo with its $15K install already covered. That is less than half the assembled stack it replaces. Then the weekly build becomes the product.
Graduate Ascend begins at $7,000/mo
The full 8-layer system runs every week. Your Pilot work carries forward.
Stop You keep the built asset
The dashboard, wiring, and proof from the sprint stay with your business.

Should I start with Ascend Pilot or the free Revenue Leak Map?
Start with the free Revenue Leak Map. It shows whether the paid Pilot has a clear first layer to prove. If the map is weak, the Pilot should not start.
Get the free Revenue Leak Map before Pilot.
The map tells us whether a paid proof sprint has a clear first layer. If it does not, we should not sell you one.
