Decision-Grade GTM Intelligence for Technology CEOs

Most growth failures aren’t execution failures.
They’re decisions made without diligence.

At TechGrowth Insights, we help B2B technology CEOs apply GTM decision due diligence before committing capital, headcount, or credibility to high-stakes commercial decisions.

Start here:

The GTM Verdict — a 14-day diligence engagement delivering a board-ready verdict:

GO HOLD STOP

When This Matters

Technology CEOs come to us when they’re facing decisions like:

“Should we hire a VP Sales now — or is the motion not ready?”
“Should we reposition for enterprise — or double down where we’re winning?”
“Should we scale outbound — or is something else broken first?”
“Should we change pricing — or is the problem elsewhere?”

These aren’t strategy questions. They’re commercial bets.

And once placed, they're hard to unwind — burning two quarters of capital, credibility, and momentum before you can course-correct.

The GTM Verdict exists because the decisions that matter most deserve the same rigour boards apply to acquisitions.

The GTM Verdict

A short, CEO-only engagement that applies GTM decision due diligence to a single high-stakes decision — producing a clear, board-ready verdict:

GO HOLD STOP
What You Get What It Delivers
The Diligence Interview 90 minutes isolating what must be true for this decision to work
The GTM Pressure Test Your decision stress-tested across 5 GTM domains and 7 investment filters
The Verdict Readout A board-ready document with GO, HOLD, or STOP — and the reasoning behind it
The outcome:
GO
The decision is sound. Here are the guardrails that protect downside.
HOLD
The decision has merit, but conditions aren’t right. Here’s what must change first.
STOP
This decision will likely fail. Don’t proceed.
This is the work tech CEOs used to give to sharp MBA teams before escalating to consultants — upgraded to an operator-grade, investment-quality process.

Each stage is bounded.

Each engagement ends cleanly.

Nothing escalates unless the verdict justifies it.

The Intelligence Behind The Verdict

Every verdict is grounded in commercial intelligence, not theory.

TechGrowth Insights produces ongoing, decision-grade research used by CEOs, boards, and investors to understand what actually works in real GTM environments.
