The Cost of Solving the Wrong Problem
Why Growth Stalls at Each New Stage
Every new revenue level requires a “gear shift” in leadership, structure, management discipline and systems. What worked at $1M often becomes the constraint at $5M or $10M.
Founders and management teams are usually too close to the business to see which issue is the true limiter—and which visible problems are only symptoms. An experienced outside diagnosis helps identify the constraint before more time and capital are spent on the wrong solution.
The purpose of the Growth Audit is simple: reveal the highest-impact constraint, rank the corrective actions and give the team a practical sequence for execution.
How the Expert Growth Audit Works
- Qualify and scope the audit. A short evaluation call confirms that the business is established, has at least $500K ARR and is a good fit.
- Interview the CEO and senior team. Bob personally gathers 360-degree perspectives across the major functions of the company.
- Diagnose and prioritize. He identifies the true growth limiter, separates causes from symptoms and ranks recommendations by impact, risk, ROI and payback.
- Deliver the roadmap. Within 7–10 business days, you receive a 15–20-page written report, prioritized action plan, relevant training resources and an optional implementation plan.
Who the Expert Growth Audit Is For
Minimum qualification: an established founder-led company with at least $500K in annual recurring revenue. The strongest fit is typically $1M–$25M in annual revenue.
A strong fit when you are:
- Growing but feeling operational strain
- Struggling with execution, people, systems or focus
- Preparing to scale, raise capital or professionalize management
- Unsure which problem deserves investment first
Probably not the right fit when:
- The business has not yet established recurring revenue
- You want generic motivation instead of an operating diagnosis
- The leadership team is not willing to provide candid input
- You are not prepared to act on the findings
Every Expert Growth Audit Is Led Personally by Bob Norton
Bob conducts the leadership interviews, diagnoses the limiting factors and prepares the recommendations. You receive direct access to four decades of operating, scaling, capital and leadership experience—not a junior consultant following a generic checklist.
Questions CEOs Ask Before an Expert Growth Audit
Is the information confidential?
Yes. Information shared during the Expert Growth Audit is treated as confidential and used to diagnose the company’s growth constraints and prepare the recommendations.
Who conducts the audit?
Bob Norton personally conducts the leadership interviews, performs the diagnosis and prepares the recommendations.
How much time does our team need to invest?
Plan for up to 60 minutes with the CEO and up to 60 minutes with each participating senior manager. The written report and roadmap are normally delivered within 7–10 business days.
What does the $1,200 include?
Leadership interviews, growth-limiter diagnosis, a 15–20-page written report, prioritized roadmap, ROI and payback ranking, relevant training resources and an optional implementation plan.
Do we have to hire AirTight to implement the recommendations?
No. The roadmap is designed to be useful whether your team executes it independently or asks AirTight to help.
How is the free AI diagnostic different?
The free diagnostic is an immediate first-pass conversation powered by Bob’s frameworks. It does not include Bob’s personal review or a written company roadmap. Use non-confidential information when working with any third-party AI platform.
