What If Strong Financials
Mask Fragile Growth?
Financials show what a company produced, but don't fully reveal if it's built to keep producing it.
The Breakout Quality of Growth (QofG) Report addresses this knowledge gap.
Its proprietary scoring and AI-assisted analysis assess non-financial drivers to measure growth durability.

Not All Growth Happens for the Right Reasons.
How aligned is your view of growth with the reality of the company's growth durability?
Any gap between that view and reality is risk.
Who Benefits Most From a QofG Report?
PRIVATE EQUITY & FAMILY OFFICES
What's the Quality of Growth and what blind spots could be costly in a transaction The Breakout QofG Report helps investors separate perceived upside from real breakout-level growth quality. It addresses key questions such as: 1. Where are the growth-related risks that won’t show up in financials? 2. Where will growth strain or break as we push for scale? 3. What should we fix first post-close to unlock breakout potential? 4. Where is value creation realistic and where is it assumed?
TRANSACTION ADVISORS & INVESTMENT BANKS
Is the Quality of Growth real or driven by timing, a single client, or other similar risk factors The Breakout QofG Report helps transaction advisory (TA) and Investment Banks (IB) evaluate growth value and reduce surprises in diligence. It addresses key questions such as: 1. Is this business market-ready today, or does it require pre-sale preparation? 2. Which growth risks will buyers care about most and discount the hardest? 3. What buyer type is the best fit given the company’s growth profile? 4. What improvements would most increase valuation in the next 90–180 days?
BUSINESS OWNERS & OPERATORS
You know your company isn't growing as it should. Stop guessing why The Breakout QofG Report helps identify a company's growth quality. It addresses key questions such as: 1. Where should we invest next for the best ROI: sales, marketing, brand, or culture? 2. Which constraint is blocking or limiting growth right now? 3. Where is misalignment across our growth drivers quietly eroding performance? 4. What should we prioritize in the next 90 days to accelerate growth?

What Defines Quality of Growth?
A Breakout QofG Report evaluates the strength and alignment of the key growth drivers that determine how well a company is built to deliver durable growth.
Our proprietary Breakout Score™ methodology and AI-assisted analysis quantify and evaluate those drivers individually and collectively.

Conversion Reliability
MARKETING
Demand Generation Efficiency
BRAND
Differentiation

CULTURE
Execution Consistency
LEADERSHIP AND FUNCTIONAL ALIGNMENT
Growth Multiplier or Drag
The Process of Quantifying QofG.
Every company's quality of growth is different by nature of its industry, stage of business, target market, and other business context (e.g. A scaling consumer company differs from an established manufacturer).
THE BREAKOUT QofG MODEL FROM INPUT TO ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS
Structured Diagnostic
70+ data points assess Sales, Marketing, Brand, Culture, and Alignment, supported by business context and open-ended evidence.
Proprietary Scoring
The Breakout methodology calculates standardized driver scores and an overall Breakout Score™. AI does not determine or alter scores.
Agentic AI Diagnosis
Scores, responses, and business context are evaluated to determine the top three priorities based on what's limiting performance and why it matters .
Context-Specific Analysis
Findings are interpreted into a context-specific QofG diagnosis specific to a company's situation.
The Breakout QofG Report starts with a 20-minute online evaluation completed by a senior leader or the entire senior leadership team.
The report considers multiple company-specific dimensions and 1,000+ business context profiles.
The model’s agentic AI analyzes scores, leader responses, and business context to identify patterns, reconcile competing signals, uncover constraints, evaluate consequences, and prioritize actions.
The Breakout QofG Report quantifies organizational growth drivers.
The Breakout QofG adapts to the decision situation, whether you're a PE firm conducting strategic planning for a PortCo(s), a transaction advisory firm or investment bank preparing a company for acquisition, or an owner assessing the durability of future growth.
Same standardized methodology. Different business context. Decision-relevant diagnosis.
