01 Onboarding & Diagnosis — A modest fixed fee, the only guaranteed cost. Kept deliberately low to reduce founder risk and align incentives from day one.
02 Milestone Payments — Fees tied to agreed commercial outcomes. No results, no payment beyond the onboarding component. The team's incentive is delivery, not duration.
03 Upside Share — A pre-agreed share of measurable growth: revenue uplift, deal value, margin improvement, or exit value. We participate in what we help create.
How GSR compares: traditional advisory bills hours regardless of outcome, recommends and you implement, uses generic strategic frameworks, works from an external vantage point only, and brings one discipline or expertise. The GSR model is paid only when outcomes are delivered, embeds and implements alongside you, is built from your specific business, works inside your business daily, and brings commercial, legal, and operational expertise together. "When you succeed, GSR succeeds. The model is designed to keep it that way."
