Find out whether advisor-led growth can become your new delivery model.

The decision before the build
A promising idea is not yet a scalable growth model.
Is there a compelling opportunity credible advisors will want to build?
Can advisor and company economics become attractive together?
What must a founding cohort prove before a larger investment?
The goal is not to justify the idea. It is to make the next investment with evidence and confidence.
Mutual fit
Built for service businesses with something proven—and room to carry it farther.
A Strong Fit
- Your company repeatedly produces a valuable client outcome.
- The service contains a method, process, assessment, framework, or reusable judgment.
- The market trusts the company and its expertise.
- Experienced professionals could credibly advise clients using the method.
- You want growth beyond adding only employees and billable capacity.
- Leadership is prepared to test assumptions and invest in advisor success.
Not Yet a Fit
- The service or client outcome is not yet proven.
- The work remains entirely bespoke.
- You want passive licensing or broad recruitment without supporting advisor success.
- You expect software, training, or legal documents to define the business.
- You want subcontractors rather than independent practice owners.
- Leadership is unwilling to act on an honest proceed, validate, or wait recommendation.
What you receive
One interactive decision system. Six strategic assets your company owns.
The sprint converts the opportunity into a clear set of business decisions your leadership team can use with Thirty Five, qualified counsel, internal leaders, or another implementation partner.
Interactive Scale Map
A decision-ready view of the opportunity, current model, readiness, economics, risks, and recommended path.
Method Transferability Map
The proven outcome, repeatable process, tools, judgment, standards, and knowledge still needing capture.
Advisor Growth Engine Hypothesis
The ideal advisor, target client, service offer, value proposition, investment, and preliminary economics.
Advisor Operating Model Readiness Scorecard
A structured assessment of the capabilities required to launch and scale the model.
Risk and Assumption Register
The assumptions most likely to strengthen or break the opportunity, ranked by consequence and uncertainty.
Decision Brief and 90-Day Plan
A proceed, validate, or wait recommendation with the smallest responsible test, milestones, owners, and measures.
No generic strategy deck. No predetermined answer. No obligation to continue.
How the sprint works
Ten business days from completed discovery to a confident next decision.
Fit Call · 30 Minutes
Discuss the business, current delivery model, advisor-led opportunity, and mutual fit.
Prework and Discovery
Complete focused prework, share relevant materials, and participate in one leadership session and up to two stakeholder conversations.
Analysis and Model Review
Thirty Five evaluates transferability, opportunity, economics, operating requirements, readiness, risks, and validation options.
Interactive Readout · 90 Minutes
Work through the Scale Map, challenge assumptions, and agree on the decision and immediate next actions.
The ten-business-day timeline begins after prework, requested materials, and discovery are complete.
Investment and clarity guarantee
A bounded first decision before a larger commitment.
The Advisor-Led Growth Readiness Sprint is a fixed $3,500 investment with a defined scope, timeline, and deliverables.
The Clarity Guarantee
You will receive a written proceed, validate, or wait recommendation supported by evidence, assumptions, risks, and immediate next actions.
If the decision is not clear at the final readout, Thirty Five will refine the work with you at no additional fee.
This guarantees decision clarity, not a predetermined answer or future commercial result.
When the model earns a yes
Turn the opportunity into an Advisor Operating Model Blueprint.
Method and Client Model
Define the outcome, service stages, tools, judgment, standards, and measures behind the transferable method.
Advisor Opportunity and Economics
Design the advisor profile, offer, pricing, investment, revenue model, ownership, and company economics.
Recruitment, Readiness, and Launch
Build selection, onboarding, certification, market readiness, pipeline, and first-client support.
Delivery and Advisor Operating System
Design playbooks, quality, escalation, technology, AI, knowledge, coaching, community, reporting, and governance.
Founding-Cohort Plan
Define the pilot, advisors, assets, budget, measures, decision gates, and implementation roadmap.
Blueprint engagements typically begin at $15,000. The Readiness Sprint becomes the foundation, so discovery is not repeated.
Three useful outcomes
Every recommendation should create forward motion.
Proceed
The opportunity is credible. Design the complete Advisor Operating Model.
Validate
The opportunity is promising, but one or two critical assumptions need evidence.
Wait and Strengthen
The methodology, market, economics, or organization needs more development before a larger investment.
A wait recommendation does not end the opportunity. It shows what must become true next.
Built from operating experience
You bring the proven service. Thirty Five brings the system-level perspective.
Thirty Five has helped experienced professionals turn expertise into repeatable operating models and independent businesses.
We connect strategy to the operating details that determine whether an advisor-led model can launch, perform, and improve.

Talk to Thirty Five →Frequently asked questions
What leadership teams ask before they begin.
Is the fit call free?
Yes. The 30-minute fit call is free and carries no obligation. If the sprint is not the right next step, we will say so.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
We do not guarantee that advisor-led growth should proceed or promise a future revenue result. The Clarity Guarantee ensures a supported decision and clear immediate next step. Specific cancellation terms are included in the engagement agreement.
What if we already have advisors or partners?
The sprint can evaluate an early or established network where the opportunity, onboarding, practice launch, economics, quality, support, technology, or measurement is not yet scalable.
Do we need to know the legal structure?
No. The sprint identifies operating requirements and legal questions that may require evaluation. Thirty Five does not provide legal advice, but the work gives qualified counsel a clearer business model to assess.
Will you recruit advisors?
The sprint defines the likely advisor profile and founding-cohort hypothesis. Detailed recruitment design and implementation belong in a separately scoped engagement.
Will you build the technology and AI?
Thirty Five can design and implement technology after the business model is sufficiently clear. Technology supports the Advisor Operating Model; it does not substitute for it.
Can we use the work with another partner?
Yes. The sprint assets belong to your company and are designed to stand on their own.
What if the recommendation is to wait?
You will know which foundation, evidence, or condition needs to improve before advisor-led growth deserves a larger investment. That clarity can prevent an expensive false start while preserving the opportunity.
