Who we work with
This works best when the business is growing faster than the way it is being run.
Fit matters more than need. Plenty of companies could use this work. The ones that get results share a specific profile, and it is worth being honest about it up front.
Company fit
B2B. Established. Fast-growing.
Usually $3M–$9M in revenue, with ambition toward $25M–$50M.
Organizational complexity rising faster than organizational capability.
Too many decisions still routing through the founder.
CEO fit
Curious. Self-aware. Ambitious. Action-oriented.
Willing to be challenged, and willing to admit uncertainty.
Cares about people. High standards and decency, both.
Willing to change how they lead, not just how everyone else works.
Ambitious without wanting to become miserable in the process.
Where to start
Same fit. Three doors.
The profile above holds for everything we do. Which door you walk through depends on where the constraint lives right now.
The constraint is your own week. Private, weekly, and the agenda belongs to your current bottleneck.
$3,000/month · month to month
The missing input is peers at your stage. Ten CEOs, invitation only, real accountability.
$997/month · 12 months
The leadership team needs decided trade-offs and a plan that survives Monday. Two days onsite.
$12,500 + travel
The rules
Two rules. No exceptions.
The No Asshole Rule. It is a cultural statement and a qualification mechanism, and it protects every room we build. One wrong personality poisons a mastermind, a leadership offsite, or a coaching relationship. So it is not negotiable.
High standards and human decency, together. They are compatible here. If you believe you must choose one, we will frustrate each other.
You probably shouldn’t hire ProvenChaos if…
You want affirmation instead of challenge.
You think you already have the answers.
Every problem is someone else’s fault.
You’re unwilling to change how you lead.
You believe high standards require treating people poorly.
You’re looking for a magic operating-system implementation.
No hard feelings. But we’d frustrate each other, and your money deserves better.
Sound like your company?
The problems we work on most: the founder bottleneck, a leadership team that isn’t leading, accountability without micromanaging, and strategic plans that keep dying in Q1.
