Discovery call to first sprint — here's every step, what it costs, what it delivers, and what's expected of you. No vague "retainer proposals." No hourly billing that runs forever. A fixed process with fixed milestones and real deliverables at every stage.
A direct conversation about your business. Where you are, where you're trying to go, what's broken. We'll tell you honestly whether GO First is the right fit — and if not, we'll point you somewhere better.
A structured audit of your estimating system, operational workflow, and financial reporting. We review your actual numbers, interview your key team members, and deliver a written report with prioritized recommendations. This is the foundation every engagement starts from.
Cost code audit and cleanup. Chart of accounts alignment. Job-level profitability visibility in your current system. You leave this sprint knowing what every job actually costs in real time — not 60 days after closeout.
Master budget built from your actual cost data. Reusable assemblies for your 10 most common scopes. Pricing logic that enforces margin floors before the client ever sees a number. Bids that take 8 hours take 30 minutes.
Daily log system your team actually fills out. Zapier automations that connect your tools and eliminate manual data entry. SOPs documented and searchable in NotebookLM. Your team can operate without you in every conversation.
Monthly strategy calls to review KPIs, troubleshoot adoption issues, and add new systems as your business grows. Quarterly deep-dives to identify the next highest-leverage improvement. For builders who want to keep compounding.
No pitch deck. No slides. Just 30 minutes of Grant asking specific questions about your business and telling you honestly what he sees. If you're a fit, you'll know by the end of the call.
If the Diagnostic isn't right for your situation, Grant will tell you. If you'd be better served by the TOOLBOX™ or a different approach, you'll hear that instead. The goal is a right-fit engagement — not a closed deal.
The more specific you are about current revenue, project types, and what's actually broken, the better the call goes. You don't need to prepare a presentation — just be willing to talk about the real state of the business.
Even if you don't move forward, you'll have a clearer picture of what's holding your business back. That's the minimum value of the call — useful regardless of next steps.
No. Each sprint stands alone. Most builders start with Sprint 1 to establish financial foundation, then decide on Sprint 2. You're never locked in to the full engagement.
Roughly 3–5 hours per week. One 60-minute strategy call, plus implementation work between calls. The MAP™ is Done-With-You, not Done-For-You — you're doing real work, not just attending meetings.
Yes. If you move forward with any sprint of the 6-Week MAP™, the Diagnostic fee is credited toward your engagement.
You don't need specific software to start. The Diagnostic assesses your current stack and the recommendations are tailored to what you're already using. JobTread is recommended but not required.
GO First takes a limited number of active engagements at any time. This isn't a scalable coaching program — it's a focused partnership. If there's a waitlist, you'll know on the discovery call.
The GO First process works best for builders doing $1M–$15M in annual revenue who are scaling and finding that gut instinct isn't enough anymore. Smaller companies may get more value from the TOOLBOX™ first.
Book a 30-minute discovery call. Grant will tell you exactly where your business is losing ground and what it would take to fix it — whether that's GO First or something else entirely.
