Market Study

---

1. Market overview — size, growth and target segments

• Global digital transformation market (relevant TAM reference): the global digital transformation market was estimated at roughly USD 2.23 trillion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a double‑digit CAGR over the coming years as cloud, AI, analytics and automation drive project demand.
• United States / target geography: North America accounts for a large share of digital transformation and IT services spending; the U.S. is the single largest national market within North America. Industry reports show North America holding roughly one‑third to two‑fifths of global IT/digital transformation revenue, with the U.S. representing the majority of that regional spend.
• Two prioritized demand pools for the company (based on the business brief):
  • Small & medium enterprises (SMEs/SMBs): SMB IT spending in the U.S. is a material, multi‑hundred‑billion dollar market (industry estimates place U.S. SMB IT spending in the low hundreds of billions for 2024). This pool is actively migrating to cloud, SaaS, and managed services — a favorable fit for a 100% online consulting delivery model.
  • Healthcare organizations (providers, ambulatory clinics, small health systems and health‑tech vendors): the U.S. healthcare IT market (clinical, administrative and digital health solutions) was estimated at roughly USD 320–325 billion in 2024, with cybersecurity and compliance becoming an especially fast‑growing subsegment. Healthcare’s regulatory complexity and data‑sensitivity create persistent demand for specialized digital‑transformation and compliance services.

2. Quantitative market profile (demographic, geographic, behavioral)

• Number of addressable customers: there are approximately 30–33 million small businesses in the U.S.; about 5.8–6.3 million have paid employees (i.e., employer firms) — those employer firms are the highest‑value targets for paid digital transformation services. Smaller firms without employees represent lower IT spend per firm.
• Typical buyer behavior and budgets:
  • SMEs: constrained budgets, shorter procurement cycles (relative to large hospitals or enterprises), preference for low‑upfront, cloud/SaaS solutions and outcome‑oriented engagements; average SMB IT budgets vary widely by industry but aggregate national SMB IT spend is in the hundreds of billions annually.
  • Healthcare providers: prioritization of EHR optimization, cybersecurity, interoperability, and regulatory/compliance projects; procurement cycles can be longer for larger health systems but many small hospitals and clinics contract modular, online implementation and advisory services.

3. TAM / SAM / SOM (methodology, numbers and assumptions)

Notes on methodology: numbers below draw on public market estimates for (a) global digital transformation market, (b) U.S. SMB IT spending and (c) U.S. healthcare IT spending. The calculations explicitly adjust for InnovTech’s stated geography (U.S.), delivery model (100% online), and target clients (SMEs and healthcare organizations). All assumptions are shown.

3.1 TAM (Total Addressable Market)

• Definition used: global market value for digital transformation and related IT services (the largest market that would be addressable if 100% share were possible).
• Estimate (reference): USD ~2.23 trillion (global digital transformation market, 2024 baseline from market research).

3.2 SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market)

• Definition used: the portion of the TAM that fits the company’s realistic geography (U.S.) and the two prioritized verticals (SME IT spending + U.S. healthcare IT).
• Inputs & calculation:
  • U.S. SMB IT spending (2024 estimate): USD 225 billion (2024 U.S. portion of SMB IT spending).
  • U.S. healthcare IT market (2024 estimate): approximately USD 322–323 billion.
  • Combined broad SAM (SME IT spending + healthcare IT): ≈ USD 547–548 billion (225B + 323B ≈ 548B). This represents the addressable U.S. service spend that lines up directly with InnovTech’s two target segments.
• Restrictions and caveats that reduce SAM from the global TAM:
  • Large enterprise concentration: a significant share of IT/DT revenue is captured by large enterprises and by very large systems integrators; SMEs and small health providers account for a materially smaller slice of overall IT project revenue today. (Industry reports show large enterprises still account for a majority of IT services revenue in North America.)
  • Regulatory and procurement barriers in healthcare: large ERP/EHR implementations are typically procured by major systems and platform vendors or by large consultancies; smaller, modular projects and compliance/security engagements are more accessible to boutique online consultancies.

3.3 SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market) — 3–5 year realistic capture

• Objective: estimate what a focused, U.S.‑based, online delivery consultancy that accelerates sales/marketing and hires senior consultants could reasonably capture in 3–5 years. Assumptions shown:
  • Assumption on online‑attainable share: use the more targeted (pragmatic) SAM layer that excludes large enterprise projects and focuses on the online‑deliverable portions of SME + small/medium healthcare provider spend. Conservatively assume 25–35% of the combined SAM is actively attainable via online consulting modalities and mid‑market engagements. (Reason: large platform/integration projects remain with major integrators; many healthcare IT dollars are capital EHR spend that require larger teams.)
  • Narrowed SAM for online, SME + small healthcare projects ≈ 30% × USD 548B ≈ USD 164B.
• Reasonable SOM capture (3–5 year window):
  • Short term (by year 3) conservative target: capture ~0.01% of the narrowed SAM ≈ USD 16.4 million ARR. Rationale: early traction with pilot projects, focused marketing, and 1–3 senior consultants + subcontractors.
  • Medium term (by year 5) stretch target: capture ~0.03% of the narrowed SAM ≈ USD 49.2 million ARR. Rationale: scale via targeted sales, repeatable IP (templates and accelerators), and 6–15 billable consultants plus partnerships.
• Implementation rationale (example math): if average project revenue is $75k–$150k (common for SME digital transformation engagements that include analysis + implementation + training), a USD 16.4M run rate requires ~110–220 projects annually (or a smaller number of larger multi‑month retainers). Achieving that volume requires a pipeline that converts roughly 2–5% of qualified leads, a scalable online delivery model, and a small to mid sized delivery team. These operational metrics align with the funding uses indicated (sales acceleration, hiring senior consultants, and building IP). (Calculations shown to inform investor diligence and staffing plans.)

4. Emerging trends and impacts (opportunities)

• AI & automation acceleration: AI and automation are reshaping prioritization for transformation projects (process automation, predictive analytics, chat/agent automation). Buyers are funding advisory work that ties AI to measurable cost or revenue impact. This increases demand for consultancies that can combine technical enablement with pragmatic ROI cases.
• Cloud, SaaS and low‑code adoption among SMBs: cloud/SaaS and low‑code solutions reduce implementation cost and speed time‑to‑value for SMEs, making 100% online delivery models and repeatable deployment templates more attractive. This trend favors consultancies that sell outcome‑based packages and reusable accelerators.
• Cybersecurity and compliance as a purchase driver in healthcare: healthcare cybersecurity spending is growing rapidly (double‑digit CAGRs in specialized reports) as breaches and regulatory scrutiny increase; compliance services (HIPAA, HITRUST) and cloud security are high‑velocity opportunities for boutique, specialized teams.
• Telehealth, remote monitoring and digital patient engagement: post‑pandemic digital health adoption continues to expand spending on patient portals, remote monitoring, and digital workflows — areas where modular consulting and quick‑start deployments for smaller provider groups are valuable.

5. Direct competitors (2–3) — specialization and positioning

Note: chosen competitors reflect the market overlap with online digital transformation, SME and/or healthcare focus.

5.1 Slalom (national digital transformation consultancy)

• Specialization & positioning: full‑service business and technology consulting across strategy to implementation; strong partner network (Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce); serves mid‑market and enterprise clients and verticals including healthcare. Slalom emphasizes rapid, local delivery and outcomes.
• Typical offerings: cloud migrations, analytics & data platforms, change management, Power Platform/low‑code accelerators, product & experience design, and implementation services.
• Approximate footprint: ~10k–13k employees across ~40+ markets (gives scale advantage and national coverage).

5.2 ClearDATA (healthcare‑focused cloud & compliance platform + services)

• Specialization & positioning: healthcare‑exclusive cloud security, compliance automation and managed services provider; positions itself as HITRUST/HIPAA domain specialist for healthcare applications and platforms. Targets health‑tech vendors, providers, and payers that require secure cloud hosting and compliance automation.
• Typical offerings: HIPAA/HITRUST automation, cloud posture management for healthcare, managed detection & response (MDR) for healthcare workloads, secure cloud platform (HealthDATA). ClearDATA publishes customer impact metrics tied to compliance scores and time‑to‑market savings.

5.3 Impact Advisors (healthcare IT consulting)

• Specialization & positioning: advisory, EHR implementation/optimization (Epic‑focused), revenue cycle and IT optimization for healthcare providers; highly recognized in healthcare consulting (Best in KLAS, numerous Epic implementations). Focus is on provider organizations (hospitals, clinics) rather than general SMEs.
• Typical offerings: EHR implementation & support, IT optimization, clinical transformation, security & risk management, and digital health strategy.

6. Competitors — detailed strengths and weaknesses (quantified where possible)

6.1 Slalom

Strengths

1. Scale and national footprint: 10k–13k+ employees across >40 markets enables rapid local delivery and multi‑discipline teams (reduces ramp time for large projects). Example: large projects benefit from multi‑market delivery pools and partner relationships; Slalom’s size enables parallel project staffing.
2. Broad partner ecosystem and platform competency: partnerships with 300–400+ technology providers (Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce) accelerate implementation and co‑sell motions. That enables faster procurement and bundled offers for clients (reduces time‑to‑value).

Weaknesses

1. Price and scale mismatch for small SMEs: Slalom’s operating model and overhead often mean pricing and minimum engagement size are above what micro/very small SMEs will accept; this limits adoption among lowest‑budget clients. (Example: Slalom tends to target multi‑month/large projects that are cost‑prohibitive for small clients.)
2. Less niche focus on compliance‑heavy healthcare SMBs: while Slalom has healthcare practices, it is not a healthcare‑exclusive compliance specialist; for strict HIPAA/HITRUST projects, buyers frequently choose vendors with healthcare‑only credentials. This creates an opening for specialized providers.

6.2 ClearDATA

Strengths

1. Healthcare specialization and compliance metrics: ClearDATA reports that customers achieve an average continuous compliance score ~93% and that their platform can reduce HITRUST/HIPAA compliance time materially (ClearDATA cites examples like cutting HITRUST path time in half). These are quantifiable differentiators for healthcare buyers.
2. Measurable operational outcomes: ClearDATA claims concrete operational benefits (e.g., “286 days saved in product launches” and multi‑million dollar potential fine avoidance), which sales teams can use to close compliance‑sensitive customers.

Weaknesses

1. Narrow technology positioning (productized security/compliance): ClearDATA’s tight positioning on healthcare cloud security means it may not offer end‑to‑end digital transformation services (process redesign, training, change mgmt) at the depth some healthcare providers want; such providers may need to piece together services. This can create an opportunity for consultancies that combine compliance + operational change.
2. Pricing and target market profile: ClearDATA’s value proposition is optimized for organizations with significant regulated workloads and may be cost‑prohibitive for the smallest clinics or SMB health‑tech startups unless packaged as a targeted, smaller offering. The company’s success metrics and customer references skew mid‑market and above.

6.3 Impact Advisors

Strengths

1. Proven healthcare delivery track record: Impact Advisors reports 100+ Epic implementations and 400+ Epic certifications among staff — a powerful, quantifiable credential that reduces client risk for EHR projects. Such credentials correlate with faster time to “good install” and higher client confidence.
2. High industry recognition: repeated “Best in KLAS” or similar rankings and awards are cited as evidence of service quality and client satisfaction — a critical purchase criterion for health systems.

Weaknesses

1. Focus on larger provider organizations: Impact Advisors’ experience and price points cater to mid‑to‑large hospitals and health systems; this limits competitiveness for smaller clinics or SMB health‑tech vendors seeking lower‑cost, rapid online engagements.
2. Heavy dependence on EHR projects: a large portion of Impact Advisors’ casework is EHR implementation/optimization; when clients seek lightweight, iterative digital projects (low‑code automation, quick process digitization), Impact Advisors’ go‑to‑market may be less cost‑efficient or slower than boutique, productized consultancies.

7. Summary — company competitive advantages (3–4 principal differentiators and client benefits)

Based on the company brief (100% online delivery, SME + healthcare focus, emphasis on tailored implementation and training, and plans to build reusable IP), the following are the primary competitive advantages and the direct client benefits:

1. Healthcare + SME specialization delivered online (niche focus)
   • Benefit to clients: targeted regulatory know‑how for healthcare plus affordable online delivery for SMEs reduces both compliance risk and project cost compared with generalist consultancies or large SIs. (Clients get compliance‑aware deployments without enterprise price tags.)
2. Repeatable IP and accelerators (templates, deployment models, training kits)
   • Benefit to clients: faster time‑to‑value (shorter project timelines), predictable budgets and reduced professional fees due to reuse; this directly addresses SME sensitivity to time and cost. Building these assets supports the SOM capture rates outlined above.
3. Outcome & adoption focus (operationalization + training)
   • Benefit to clients: higher adoption rates and measurable operational improvements (reduced process time, fewer manual errors) because projects include training and change management — an advantage over vendors that deliver only technology. This addresses the frequent failure mode of transformation projects (poor adoption).
4. Cost‑efficient online model with targeted compliance expertise (for healthcare projects)
   • Benefit to clients: lower total cost of ownership versus on‑site, high‑overhead integrators and faster compliance readiness than generalist vendors lacking healthcare credentials. This is particularly valuable for small health providers and health‑tech vendors that cannot absorb enterprise consulting fees.

8. Recommended implications for go‑to‑market and investor dossier (brief)

• Prioritize the narrow, high‑probability opportunity set first: small/medium healthcare providers (ambulatory networks, specialty clinics, community hospitals) and SMBs with clear regulatory or data‑security needs. Use the healthcare compliance narrative to win pilot projects, then cross‑sell broader SME packages.
• Build 3–5 repeatable engagement packages (e.g., “Compliance‑FastStart”, “SMB Cloud Migration in 8 weeks”, “EHR optimization quick wins”), each with defined pricing, deliverables and ROI metrics. These productized services will improve conversion, reduce CAC and support the SOM scenarios above.
• Track and publish client KPIs (time‑to‑launch saved, compliance score improvements, approximate $ savings in avoided fines or staff time) to strengthen sales motions against larger consultancies and healthcare specialists (use metrics like those ClearDATA publishes as models).

Situation Analysis

---

1. Industry overview

The company operates in the digital transformation and healthcare IT consulting market, delivering 100% online advisory and implementation services to U.S. SMEs and healthcare providers. The sector is large, fast‑growing and segmented by buyer scale and regulatory exposure.

Key facts and illustrative examples

• Market scale and growth: the global digital transformation market was estimated at approximately USD 2.23 trillion in 2024; the U.S. portion concentrated in SMB and healthcare verticals represents a materially addressable opportunity (combined SAM used in planning ≈ USD 548 billion: ~USD 225B SMB IT + ~USD 323B healthcare IT). Example: U.S. healthcare IT alone is estimated at ~USD 322–325B in 2024, with cybersecurity and compliance subsegments growing at double‑digit CAGRs.
• Buyer population and behavior: there are ~30–33 million small businesses in the U.S., of which ~5.8–6.3 million are employer firms (higher IT spend per firm). Example: SMBs favor cloud/SaaS and low‑upfront engagements; many small providers prefer modular, online implementation for EHR optimization, cybersecurity and interoperability.

Barriers to entry — identification and mitigation

• Regulatory and certification burden (healthcare): HIPAA, HITRUST and other compliance frameworks require process controls, documented audits and specialist expertise. Mitigation: the company can prioritize obtaining relevant certifications (HITRUST readiness, HIPAA risk assessments), hire a dedicated compliance specialist, and package “Compliance‑FastStart” offerings that reduce buyer perceived risk.
• Credibility and reference scarcity: buyers in healthcare and regulated SMBs prioritize vendor track records and measurable outcomes. Mitigation: pursue pilot projects with measurable KPIs, publish case studies and KPI dashboards (time‑to‑launch saved, compliance score improvements), and leverage quantifiable outcome claims (e.g., projected $ savings in staff time or avoided fines).
• Scale and partner access required for complex projects: large platform integrations typically go to major integrators with deep partner networks. Mitigation: establish targeted technology partnerships (Microsoft, AWS, major EHR vendors), and productize repeatable accelerators to capture the online‑deliverable slice of projects.
• Talent and delivery capacity: securing senior consultants with healthcare compliance or cybersecurity experience is competitive and costly. Mitigation: use a hybrid staffing model (core senior hires + vetted subcontractors), and invest funding to recruit 2–6 senior consultants as immediate priorities.

Differentiation factors — concrete advantages

• 100% online, niche delivery model targeted to SMEs and healthcare: this reduces overhead and enables competitive pricing while matching buyer preference for cloud/SaaS, low‑upfront engagements. Example: online delivery shortens travel and on‑site costs that large SIs carry, supporting smaller per‑project budgets (~USD 75k–150k typical project size).
• Combined compliance + adoption focus with repeatable IP: the company’s plan to build templates, accelerators and training kits provides faster time‑to‑value and predictable pricing versus ad hoc consulting. Example: productized offerings such as “SMB Cloud Migration in 8 weeks” or “EHR optimization quick wins” increase conversion and reduce CAC.
• Outcome‑oriented operationalization and training: embedding change management and adoption services increases realized benefits for clients and differentiates from vendors that deliver only technical implementation.

Opportunities and threats within the industry

• Opportunities: strong demand from SMBs migrating to cloud/SaaS; healthcare cybersecurity and compliance projects; modular digital health investments (telehealth, portals, remote monitoring). Example: narrow SAM for online, SME + small healthcare projects estimated at ~USD 164B (30% of combined SAM), with a realistic SOM target of ~USD 16.4M ARR by year 3 and ~USD 49.2M by year 5 if repeatable packages and scaled sales/hiring occur.
• Threats: incumbents and specialists with scale and brand (e.g., large consultancies, ClearDATA, Impact Advisors) that can outbid or out‑staff for larger contracts; pricing pressure in the SMB segment; regulatory changes increasing compliance costs; labor market competition for senior healthcare IT talent.

2. Key market trends

• Technology partnerships and certifications: vendor partnerships (cloud providers, EHR connectors) and HITRUST/HIPAA readiness credentials can unlock co‑sell channels and improve credibility with regulated buyers.

Threats — external obstacles and market risks to monitor

• Competitive pressure from established consultancies and specialized vendors: firms with national footprints (large consultancies) and healthcare compliance specialists can outcompete on scale, partner access, and procurement relationships.
• Pricing compression in the SMB segment: sensitivity to upfront cost among small buyers could push margins down if differentiators are not clearly communicated and productized.
• Talent market constraints: hiring experienced healthcare compliance and senior consultants is competitive and can inflate bill rates and time‑to‑hire.
• Regulatory shifts and liability exposure: evolving privacy/security regulations or heightened enforcement in healthcare may increase compliance costs and project scope unpredictability.

Conclusion — strategic implications

The company’s focused, online delivery model and planned investment in repeatable IP and healthcare compliance position it to capture a defensible niche within a large U.S. opportunity set (SAM ≈ USD 548B). To convert that opportunity into measurable SOM outcomes (USD 16.4M–49.2M ARR scenarios), the company should take the following actions:

1. Finalize funding needs and allocate capital to senior hires, certifications and targeted GTM.
2. Productize 3–5 packaged services with defined pricing and KPI guarantees.
3. Secure 1–3 pilot healthcare or SMB reference projects within 6–12 months to build measurable case studies and shorten sales cycles.

These actions directly address the principal industry barriers and exploit the highest‑velocity market trends identified above.

Sales Strategy

---

Sales process

Step 1 — Targeted lead generation and awareness

The company will generate demand through a focused mix of inbound and outbound channels that reflect its 100% online delivery and U.S. geography.

Priority sources:

• Targeted LinkedIn outreach to SMB IT managers and clinic administrators
• Content‑driven SEO and gated whitepapers on healthcare compliance
• Paid search for intent‑based queries (e.g., “HIPAA cloud migration”)
• Partnerships with regional MSPs and EHR vendors for co‑referrals

Performance targets: build a pipeline of 1,200 qualified leads per year to achieve a 2–5% conversion to closed deals consistent with the SOM assumptions. All leads enter the CRM with UTM tracking and an initial lead score for prioritization.

Step 2 — Qualification and discovery

Qualification is standardized via an online intake form and a 30–45 minute discovery call that uses a scored checklist (budget range, decision timeline, regulatory exposure, technical readiness). The checklist produces a “readiness score” that segments prospects into Quick‑Win (pilot within 8 weeks), Mid‑Market (modular project), or Enterprise (refer‑out/partner).

The firm sets SLAs: initial contact within 24 hours, discovery within 72 hours for inbound leads. Qualified opportunities move to pipeline stages in the CRM with clear conversion KPIs (lead→MQL→SQL conversion rate target 20% MQL→SQL) and forecast confidence levels for weekly sales reviews.

Step 3 — Proposal, pilot and close

Proposals: productized and templated to shorten sales cycles — “Compliance‑FastStart” (6–8 weeks), “SMB Cloud Migration” (8 weeks), and “EHR Optimization Quick Wins” (4–12 weeks). Each proposal includes fixed scope, timeline, ROI estimates, success KPIs, and optional managed services/retainer pricing.

For risk‑averse buyers, the company offers low‑cost pilots (typically 10–20% of full project value) to demonstrate value quickly; target pilot‑to‑contract conversion of 30–40%. Contracts are executed electronically, and closed deals immediately trigger onboarding workflows in PSA tools to ensure seamless handoff to delivery and accurate revenue recognition.

Step 4 — Onboarding, delivery, retention and expansion

Onboarding follows a repeatable playbook: senior consultant assignment, project plan using IP accelerators, training kits, and a client success cadence (weekly standups, KPI scorecard). Delivery performance is measured against time‑to‑launch, compliance score delta, and user adoption rates.

Post‑project focus: the account team pursues retention via managed services, subscription support, and cross‑sell (automation, analytics add‑ons). Goals: achieve 75% on‑time delivery against SLAs and generate expansion revenue equal to 15–25% of initial project ARR within 12 months. NPS and customer KPIs feed back into sales collateral and case studies.

Product strategy

The firm packages consulting services into repeatable, online‑first products combining assessment templates, compliance modules, low‑code implementation accelerators, and training kits. Positioning emphasizes mid‑market and small healthcare providers seeking compliance and operational ROI — competing on agility, cost efficiency, and domain specificity rather than enterprise scale. The product roadmap prioritizes modularity so offerings can be bundled into fixed‑fee projects or subscription retainer services.

Features:

• Remote implementation
• HIPAA/HITRUST‑aware checklists
• Prebuilt integrations for common SMB SaaS stacks
• Measurable outcome dashboards

Benefits:

• Faster time‑to‑value
• Predictable fixed pricing
• Lower total cost of ownership versus on‑site integrators

Pricing strategy

Pricing approach: value‑based and tiered to match client risk profiles and budget constraints. The firm benchmarks against typical SME project ranges ($75k–$150k) and introduces three pricing tiers:

• Entry (pilot/QuickStart $15k–$40k)
• Core fixed‑fee packages ($40k–$150k)
• Enterprise/custom (time & materials or capped‑price engagements above $150k)

Factors influencing price: measurable client ROI (e.g., avoided compliance fines, operational hours saved), complexity (integration count, legacy systems), regulatory need, and competitive benchmarks. For healthcare, premium is charged for compliance‑critical deliverables validated by KPIs (compliance score delta, audit readiness).

To lower CAC and encourage commitment, the company offers subscription‑style retainers for managed security/compliance and volume discounts for multi‑site rollouts. Price differentiation versus large consultancies is achieved by offering comparable domain expertise with significantly lower overhead, packaged accelerators to shorten timelines, and clear ROI calculators embedded in proposals. Margins are protected via standardized delivery templates and a mix of senior consultants plus vetted contractors to control utilization. Prices will be A/B tested on pilot offers and adjusted quarterly based on conversion rates, CAC, and LTV targets. Payback target: 6–9 months.

Distribution strategy

Distribution is fully digital and partner‑enabled to suit the 100% online delivery model. Primary channels:

• Direct inside sales supported by digital marketing
• Channel partnerships with EHR vendors, regional MSPs and health‑tech accelerators
• Listings on relevant cloud/marketplace directories
• Referral networks from existing clients and professional associations

The company uses CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce) and PSA systems to track lead source attribution, manage project assignments, and optimize resource planning. No physical inventory is required; instead, capacity is the constrained resource. Bench and subcontractor management processes ensure scalable staffing — target billable utilization 65–75% for consultants. Geographic reach focuses on the U.S.; partners provide local credibility for healthcare prospects.

Logistics emphasis: automated scheduling, standardized project templates, and a centralized knowledge base to reduce delivery variance. Channel KPIs include pipeline contribution, conversion rate, and time‑to‑first‑value for partner‑sourced deals. Quarterly partner reviews and co‑marketing budgets optimize the partner mix. Scalability is achieved by codifying delivery IP so new consultants can ramp in 2–4 weeks for standardized packages.

Advertising strategy

Tactic 1 — Thought leadership & webinar series

Develop a quarterly webinar and content program aimed at SMB IT leaders and small healthcare providers that addresses high‑velocity pain points: HIPAA cloud readiness, quick EHR optimization wins, and AI‑driven process automation. Each webinar includes a short case study with quantified outcomes (time‑to‑launch saved, compliance score changes) and an interactive ROI calculator.

Objectives: generate MQLs, demonstrate domain authority, and feed the sales pipeline with 40–50 qualified webinar attendees per event. Measure success by registrant→attendee conversion, MQL conversion rate, and pipeline influenced. Implement via email nurture, LinkedIn event promotion, and partner co‑hosting to amplify reach; repurpose recordings as gated content for ongoing lead capture.

Tactic 2 — Targeted paid social and search campaigns

Run segmented paid campaigns on LinkedIn and Google Ads focused on decision roles (IT managers, practice administrators, compliance officers). Creative messages emphasize “Compliance‑FastStart: launch in 8 weeks,” measurable KPIs, and a free 15-minute compliance readiness assessment. Use audience layers: SMB IT, ambulatory clinic admins, and health‑tech startups.

Metrics: track CPL, CTR, and demo booking rate; target CPL aligned with CAC model and payback within 6–9 months. Implement retargeting to nurture site visitors and use landing pages that map to productized packages. A/B test ad copy and landing pages monthly to reduce CPL by 15–25% over six months.

Tactic 3 — Strategic partnerships and co‑marketing

Execute co‑marketing agreements with EHR vendors, regional MSPs, and healthcare associations to access curated audiences and accelerate credibility. Tactics include joint webinars, bundled pilot offers, referral commission structures, and guest content in partner newsletters.

Objectives: shorten sales cycles for partner‑referred deals, achieve higher conversion rates (target +10–15% above direct inbound), and build channel pipeline that contributes 30–40% of new revenue within 18 months. Measure partner performance via pipeline influenced, deals closed, and average deal size. Implementation requires partner onboarding kits, co‑branded collateral, and quarterly business reviews to optimize joint campaigns.

Tactic 4 — Customer case studies, NPS‑driven referrals and referral program

Publish concise, quantified case studies that highlight time‑to‑launch improvements, compliance score gains, and staff time saved. Use these assets in sales outreach and paid campaigns. Run an NPS survey at project close to identify promoters and invite them to be references; implement a structured referral program offering discounts or service credits for referred clients who sign within 6 months.

Objectives: increase referral‑sourced ARR and reduce CAC for high‑intent prospects. Measure success by referral conversion rate, average deal size from referrals, and NPS trends. Implementation includes templated case study formats, a referral tracking dashboard in the CRM, and automated outreach sequences to capture testimonials.

Operations

Key activities

1. Digital consultancy engagements executed 100% online

   InnovTech Conseil conducts structured discovery workshops, documents business and technical requirements, and maps regulatory constraints for US SMEs and healthcare providers (HIPAA/HITRUST awareness).

   Project delivery uses cloud‑native toolchains, low‑code platforms and repeatable accelerators to reduce time‑to‑value. Resource allocation combines senior consultants, subject‑matter compliance specialists, project managers and contracted implementation engineers.

   Each engagement includes milestone gates, client acceptance criteria and an online training package to ensure operational adoption. Revenue recognition follows milestone completion and recurring advisory or managed services contracts.

   Continuous improvement feeds client feedback into IP templates and accelerators.

2. Development and productization of reusable IP

   Templates, deployment accelerators, training kits and compliance checklists are tailored to SME and healthcare verticals. InnovTech Conseil allocates dedicated design and engineering capacity to convert repeated engagement artifacts into packaged offerings that reduce delivery time from months to weeks.

   Activities include codifying implementation playbooks, creating automation scripts, building integration connectors for common SaaS and EHR platforms, and authoring measurable ROI templates for sales.

   R&D sprints prioritize security and regulatory controls, with iterative testing across pilot clients. Intellectual property governance tracks versioning, licensing and reuse economics.

   This productization lowers CAC, increases gross margins, and enables standardized pricing tiers for the "FastStart" and optimization packages targeted at US clients within defined SLAs.

3. Sales and go‑to‑market operations

   Focused on targeted U.S. SMEs and small healthcare providers, combining digital marketing, account‑based outreach, partner co‑sell, and referenceable pilot projects. InnovTech Conseil implements performance marketing campaigns, content focused on compliance ROI, and webinars showcasing accelerators to generate qualified leads.

   A structured pipeline management process assigns MQLs to senior consultants for discovery; conversion metrics, CAC and sales cycle length are tracked. Strategic partnerships with cloud vendors and low‑code platform providers enable co‑sell motions and technical referrals.

   Sales support includes standardized proposals, ROI calculators and contractual templates. The function scales through hiring dedicated growth managers and sales engineers, with quarterly targets aligned to the SOM milestones and investor funding tranches and measurable KPIs.

4. Delivery operations and staffing model

   Optimize a remote, billable consultant pool supported by centralized project management, quality assurance and client success functions. InnovTech Conseil structures teams around engagement size: a senior engagement lead, compliance specialist for healthcare projects, implementation engineers and a training coordinator.

   Bench management balances direct hires with vetted subcontractors for peak demand; time‑and‑materials and fixed‑price tranche billing models manage cash flow. Central operations maintain templates, knowledge base, and automated reporting for utilization, realization and billing accuracy.

   Hiring priorities include senior consultants and security/compliance experts aligned to certification objectives (HITRUST/HIPAA readiness). Continuous recruiting, performance reviews and a contractor onboarding program reduce ramp time and ensure consistent service delivery across US client engagements regionally.

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

1. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and project revenue mix

   These KPIs measure contracted recurring advisory retainers and one‑off implementation fees, expressed as ARR and percentage split. InnovTech Conseil defines ARR as annualized revenue from multi‑month retainers and managed services; project revenue covers fixed‑price implementations.

   Importance: ARR growth signals predictable cash flow and valuation uplift, while the mix indicates margin stability and scalability.

   Collection: finance system records contracts and invoicing; monthly reconciliations produce ARR roll‑forward and revenue attribution.

   Targeting: achieve a minimum ARR share of 30% of total revenue by year three to stabilize cash flow and support hiring of senior consultants and productization.

2. Billable utilization rate and realization

   Measure consultant productivity: utilization is percentage of available hours billed to clients; realization is billed revenue collected as a percentage of standard billable hours times rate. InnovTech Conseil sets target utilization of 65–75% for senior consultants and realization above 90% to maintain healthy margins.

   Importance: these KPIs drive staffing decisions, pricing adjustments and margin forecasting.

   Collection: time tracking tools capture hours per consultant, linked to project codes; billing and AR systems reconcile billed versus collected amounts monthly.

   Reporting: weekly dashboards flag utilization dips; quarterly reviews adjust bench size, subcontractor usage and pricing to preserve profitability.

3. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and qualified lead conversion rate

   Track commercial efficiency: CAC equals total sales and marketing spend divided by new customers acquired in a period; conversion rate equals qualified leads that become clients. InnovTech Conseil targets CAC payback within 12–18 months for project and retainer customers and seeks a qualified lead conversion rate of 2–5%, improving with productized offers.

   Importance: these KPIs determine marketing scale and pricing.

   Collection: marketing analytics capture campaign spend and lead sources; CRM records lead stages and outcomes; finance reconciles closed revenue to acquisition spend monthly. Continuous A/B testing reduces CAC and improves conversion.

4. Client satisfaction (NPS/Csat) and operational adoption metrics

   Measure post‑deployment success: NPS surveys and targeted Csat questions evaluate overall satisfaction; adoption metrics track percentage of users trained, system usage rates and process automation coverage.

   InnovTech Conseil prioritizes NPS > 40 and adoption > 70% within three months for SME projects and > 60% for healthcare providers.

   Importance: high satisfaction and adoption reduce churn, increase referrals and enable upsell of retained services.

   Data collection uses post‑implementation surveys, analytics from client systems, and client success logs. Monthly reporting ties satisfaction and adoption to renewal likelihood, referenceability and feature roadmap prioritization for the IP accelerators.

Quality controls

1. Project delivery QA and milestone acceptance: implement predefined milestone gates with documented acceptance criteria, automated test scripts for integrations, and client sign‑off procedures. Each gate requires evidence packages (requirements traceability, test results, security checklist) before progression.

   Quality assurance roles conduct independent reviews and regression tests; deviations trigger a remediation plan with timelines. This control ensures consistent delivery quality and reduces rework and scope drift.

2. Security and compliance verification: enforce HIPAA/HITRUST checklists, vulnerability scanning, and third‑party penetration tests for healthcare engagements; cloud posture assessments and IAM reviews for SaaS migrations.

   Compliance specialists validate data flows, encryption, and logging requirements before go‑live. Results are archived in the project compliance dossier and reviewed by governance monthly.

   Non‑conformities require documented remediation and a re‑validation cycle prior to acceptance to mitigate regulatory and breach risk.

3. Training and adoption verification: mandate role‑based training completion, competency assessments and post‑training practical exercises. Adoption dashboards track active user rates, transaction volumes and reduction in manual work items.

   Client success teams run 30/60/90‑day reviews to verify adoption targets and provide refresher sessions. Failure to meet thresholds prompts targeted change management interventions and updated training materials to improve sustained use.

Implementation plan

1. Finalize financial projections, packageized service offerings and go‑to‑market materials: build 3–5 productized offers with pricing, ROI calculators and sales collateral; complete three‑year revenue and cost model; define CAC targets and customer segments.

   Resources: finance, sales strategist, product manager.

   Timeline: 6–8 weeks to produce investor‑grade materials and pricing and pilot offers.

2. Recruit and onboard senior consultants, compliance and security specialists, and sales engineers: establish job descriptions, interview panels and compensation bands. Implement a 60‑day onboarding program including IP training, tool access and pilot assignment.

   Resources: HR recruiter, technical lead, hiring budget.

   Timeline: rolling hires over 3–6 months aligned to funding tranches.

3. Develop IP accelerators, playbooks and compliance templates: prioritize three accelerators (SMB cloud migration, Compliance‑FastStart, EHR optimization quick wins). Allocate engineering sprints, UX design, and pilot clients for validation.

   Resources: product manager, developer, compliance SME and pilot client budget.

   Timeline: 10–12 week sprints per accelerator with parallel QA and documentation deliverables.

4. Execute go‑to‑market pilot campaigns targeting US SMEs and small healthcare providers: run ABM sequences, webinars, and two co‑sell pilots with cloud partners. Measure CAC, conversion and reference creation.

   Resources: growth manager, marketing agency, partner manager.

   Timeline: 12 weeks for pilot results; scale over subsequent 6–12 months based on validated metrics.

Digital strategy — five tactical steps

1) Productize service offerings and launch packaged GTM

The company will convert core competencies into 3–5 clearly priced, outcome-oriented packages (Compliance-FastStart, SMB Cloud Migration, EHR Optimization Quick Win). Each package includes fixed deliverables, timelines, and measurable KPIs (time-to-launch, compliance score improvement, cost savings). Sales enablement materials—case studies, ROI calculators, and one-page service sheets—will be developed.

This productization reduces sales friction, shortens procurement cycles for SMEs and small healthcare providers, and enables predictable forecasting. Conversion targets will be set (e.g., 2–5% conversion of qualified pipeline) and tracked alongside CAC to refine pricing and packaging.

2) Build a secure, repeatable delivery platform

The company will implement a standardized cloud landing zone, IaC templates, and a managed set of low-code accelerators to support rapid deployment. Security and compliance will be embedded by design (automated checks, encrypted data flows, defined RBAC). The platform will host a template library with CI/CD pipelines for updates and testing.

This reduces delivery variance, lowers marginal cost per project, and enables faster scaling of billable consultants while ensuring HIPAA-compliant offerings for healthcare clients.

3) Deploy targeted demand generation and partner channels

Marketing will prioritize high-probability segments (small/medium healthcare providers and SMBs with regulatory needs) using account-based marketing, content that demonstrates compliance outcomes, and targeted digital ads. Partnerships with EHR vendors, cloud partners, and local MSPs will create referral channels. Sales operations will instrument lead scoring, define CAC per channel, and run A/B tests on messaging.

Early KPI targets include a qualified pipeline capable of supporting 110–220 projects annually to meet the year-3 revenue objective.

4) Scale delivery through automation and consultant enablement

The company will institute training programs, playbooks, and an enablement portal so senior consultants can efficiently onboard juniors and subcontractors. Automation (RPA, LLM assistants) will reduce low-value work and increase utilization targets to 70%+. A bench of pre-qualified subcontractors supports peak demand.

Metrics include deployment frequency, project margin, and consultant ramp time. Continuous feedback loops from pilots will refine accelerators and reduce time-to-value, supporting higher margins and faster net new client acquisition.

5) Institutionalize compliance, certifications and measurable outcomes

The company will pursue HITRUST/HIPAA-related certifications and publish client KPIs (time saved, compliance score gains, avoided fines estimates) to differentiate against larger consultancies. A compliance roadmap will allocate resources for certification readiness and external audits. Outcome measurement becomes part of every engagement, enabling proof points for sales and reducing procurement friction.

Achieving certifications within 12–18 months will be a strategic milestone tied to expanded access to healthcare customers and higher contract sizes.

Management

---

Organizational structure

The company is a privately held consulting firm led by founder and Director Carl Lucier, who serves as principal owner and executive sponsor for strategy, product development and key client relationships.

The leadership team comprises the Director, a Head of Delivery (senior consultant/project lead), a Head of Sales & Marketing, and an Operations/Finance lead; this core executive group coordinates a compact employee base of 4–8 full‑time staff and a flexible pool of 10–25 subcontractors and specialist partners.

Full‑time employees cover client acquisition, delivery management, operations and IP development; senior consultants and compliance/security specialists are retained as full‑time hires or long‑term contractors depending on demand.

Roles are clearly delineated: the Director sets strategic direction and closes anchor accounts; Heads translate strategy into go‑to‑market and delivery plans; senior consultants design solutions and lead implementations; operations ensures billing, governance and certifications; contractors provide niche technical depth. This lean, scalable model supports rapid ramp to the projected 6–15 billable consultants in the medium term.

Decision-making process

Decisions combine centralized strategic ownership with delegated operational authority.

Strategic decisions (funding allocation, major partnerships, certification investments) are made by the Director in consultation with the Head of Delivery and Head of Sales & Marketing during monthly leadership reviews. Tactical and technical decisions (solution design, staffing on projects, contractor selection) are led by the Head of Delivery and senior consultants with operational approvals from Operations/Finance. Hiring and HR decisions are jointly approved by the Director and Operations.

Communication uses a documented cadence:

• Weekly standups for delivery teams
• Biweekly sales/delivery alignment meetings
• Monthly all‑hands that shares KPIs (revenue, pipeline, utilization, client CSAT)

Given a compact team (4–8 employees plus contractors), decisions favor speed: formal minutes and task owners are recorded in the collaboration platform and tracked to closure within agreed SLAs.

Human resources — roles and requirements

Selection criteria emphasize domain experience (healthcare compliance or SMB cloud projects), consultancy aptitude (client references, problem‑solving case studies), and required certifications (CISSP, HITRUST, cloud certs).

The process: initial HR screening, technical/behavioral interviews with Head of Delivery and Director, practical case assignment or take‑home assessment, reference checks, and a short trial engagement or probation period (60–90 days) for senior consultants. Diversity and cultural fit are explicit evaluation metrics.

Training and employee development

The company implements a structured learning path: onboarding bootcamps (company processes, security and HIPAA fundamentals), technical upskilling (cloud platforms, low‑code, AI/automation), and role‑specific certifications (CISSP, HITRUST, PMP).

Development includes quarterly “learning sprints,” mentorship pairing with senior consultants, and funded certification reimbursements. Internal knowledge is consolidated in a searchable playbook of templates, accelerators and recorded training.

Progress is tracked via learning management system metrics, time‑to‑billable (target: 6–8 weeks for consultants), certification attainment rates, billable utilization and client CSAT scores. Quarterly performance reviews align individual development plans to business goals; remediation or tailored coaching is activated when KPI thresholds (utilization <60% or CSAT <4/5) are missed.

Corporate social responsibility

The company adopts a pragmatic CSR policy aligned to its digital‑health mission and remote operating model.

Social commitments

Social commitments include pro bono advisory hours (target 200+ hours annually) to community clinics and non‑profit health providers, discounted packaged services for underserved practices, and partnerships with healthcare workforce development programs to offer internships and upskilling for underrepresented candidates.

Inclusion

On inclusion, the company targets at least 30% of new hires from underrepresented groups and incorporates bias‑aware hiring practices and inclusive interviewing training.

Growth strategy

---

Market development:

In the short term, InnovTech will accelerate U.S. market penetration by targeting high‑probability segments: small and medium enterprises and small‑to‑medium healthcare providers. Sales efforts will prioritize digital outreach, content‑led demand generation, and a productized pilot program (“Compliance‑FastStart”) to convert early adopters and collect measurable KPIs.

Over 12–24 months the company will scale paid acquisition, channel partnerships, and referral programs while recruiting senior consultants to shorten sales cycles and increase capacity.

Medium term (years 2–3)

Emphasis will shift to regional vertical campaigns, case‑study driven enterprise proof points, and packaged service bundles with fixed pricing to reduce CAC and increase LTV.

Long term (3–5 years)

The firm will expand serviceable reach via IP licensing, scalable accelerators, and strategic alliances to enter adjacent U.S. markets—targeting $16M–$49M ARR scenarios through repeatable offerings and a disciplined pipeline conversion process and governance.

Product development:

Short term (0–12 months)

The company will productize its core delivery by creating 3–5 modular service packages—Compliance‑FastStart, SMB Cloud Migration (8‑week), and EHR Optimization Quick Wins—each with defined deliverables, timelines, and ROI metrics. This will leverage reusable IP: templates, deployment accelerators, playbooks, and training kits to reduce delivery cost and time‑to‑value.

Medium term (12–36 months)

The roadmap adds automation toolkits, low‑code connectors and a client portal for project tracking and post‑engagement support; the company will also develop measurable outcome dashboards to demonstrate saved staff hours and compliance score improvements.

Long term (3–5 years)

Focus will shift to scalable product extensions: an IP licensing program for channel partners, packaged managed services for recurring revenue, and certified compliance bundles (HITRUST/HIPAA) that combine advisory, technical hardening and continuous monitoring. These steps are designed to increase project margins, accelerate repeat business and support ARR targets. This roadmap targets higher margin, predictable revenue.

Partnerships:

The company will pursue three partnership categories to accelerate time‑to‑market, lower customer acquisition cost via co‑marketing, and provide technical depth without hiring overhead. Partner integrations and referral streams will be structured with revenue‑share models and joint IP agreements to scale deliverables and support recurring revenue growth and measurable customer success metrics.

• Technology partners: Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce and select low‑code vendors to enable co‑selling, validated deployment templates and preferred pricing.
• Compliance and managed security partners: compliance platform and managed security vendors (ClearDATA‑style providers, MDR vendors) to offer integrated HIPAA/HITRUST bundles.
• Channel partners: regional MSPs and boutique consultancies that extend reach into local SME and clinic networks.

Strategic academic or trade associations: state medical societies and ambulatory clinic groups will be engaged for credibility and pilot referrals.

Risk 1 — Competitive pressure from large consultancies and limited visibility

---

Risk: Large, established consultancies and systems integrators capture a disproportionate share of U.S. digital transformation budgets and channel attention, making it difficult for the company to win mid‑market and healthcare projects. This can delay revenue growth, reduce margins if the company chases low‑margin deals, and limit access to reference accounts needed to scale toward the SOM targets (USD 16.4M ARR by year 3, USD 49.2M by year 5).

Mitigation:

• Productize 3–5 repeatable packages (e.g., “Compliance‑FastStart”, “SMB Cloud Migration in 8 weeks”) with fixed pricing and defined ROI metrics to appeal to SMB procurement cycles.
• Target pilot wins in small/medium healthcare providers to generate references; aim to convert 2–5% of qualified leads and build a pipeline sized at least 20× target annual bookings.
• Establish channel partnerships with one or two cloud/platform vendors for co‑sell.
• Track CAC and LTV monthly to optimize marketing spend and lower CAC within 12 months.

Risk 2 — Talent constraints for senior consultants and compliance/security specialists

Risk: Inability to recruit and retain senior consultants and healthcare compliance/security specialists will constrain delivery capacity, slow project ramp, and weaken credibility in regulated health engagements. Without the planned hires, the company risks overreliance on single individuals, inconsistent quality, and missed timelines that harm reputation and reduce repeat business.

Mitigation:

• Implement a staged hiring and staffing model combining immediate contract hires with targeted full‑time recruitment.
• Prioritize hiring 3 senior consultants and 1 compliance/security specialist in year 1, expanding to 6–15 billable consultants by year 5 as revenue scales.
• Use reusable IP and accelerators to reduce required billable hours per engagement (target 20–30% efficiency gain).
• Offer remote work and flexible compensation (mix of base + performance bonus + training budget) to access national talent pools cost‑effectively.
• Measure bench utilization (target ≥70% billable utilization within 12 months) and time‑to‑fill (target <90 days for senior roles) to monitor hiring efficacy.

Risk 3 — Regulatory, data‑security and procurement complexity in healthcare engagements

Risk: Healthcare clients face strict regulatory requirements (HIPAA, HITRUST) and heightened cybersecurity risk; failure to meet compliance expectations or a data incident could lead to contract cancellations, liability, and reputational damage. Additionally, longer procurement cycles for some healthcare buyers can create cash‑flow timing challenges.

Mitigation:

• Invest in demonstrable compliance credentials and operational controls: achieve SOC 2 Type II within 12 months and HITRUST readiness or HIPAA attestation within 18 months for consulting processes.
• Productize a “Compliance‑FastStart” engagement that documents controls, delivers an actionable remediation plan and produces measurable compliance score improvements for clients (target 20–40% improvement in key controls within first 90 days).
• Partner with a healthcare‑focused cloud security provider for managed posture and MDR services.
• Maintain cyber liability insurance.
• Institute quarterly third‑party security assessments and annual penetration tests to reduce breach risk and speed procurement decisions.

About

Mission and strategic purpose

Problem statement

Many U.S. small and medium enterprises and smaller healthcare providers face three concurrent barriers to successful digital transformation: constrained IT budgets and preference for low‑upfront, outcome‑oriented engagements; regulatory and data‑security complexity in healthcare (HIPAA, HITRUST) that raises procurement hurdles; and historically poor adoption of new systems due to limited operational change support. These factors leave measurable value unrealized (inefficient processes, compliance exposure, and slow time‑to‑value).

Missions of The company

• Deliver measurable, low‑cost digital transformation outcomes through 100% online, repeatable engagements that reduce client project timelines and professional fees.
  • Target: launch standardized “FastStart” packages that achieve first measurable outcomes within 8–12 weeks.
• Close the gap between technology delivery and operational adoption by embedding training, change management and operationalization in every engagement to drive sustained throughput improvements and user adoption.
  • Objective: demonstrate client adoption KPIs (usage, reduction in manual steps) within 90 days of go‑live.
• Provide healthcare‑grade compliance and security advisory for small/medium providers and health‑tech vendors, enabling faster compliance readiness and secure cloud adoption without enterprise‑level fees.
  • Funding and certification objectives: obtaining relevant healthcare certifications and hiring dedicated compliance specialists within 12 months.
• Scale a productized consultancy model (IP, templates and accelerators) to increase margin leverage and repeatability.
  • Financial targets: pursue an ARR trajectory consistent with capture targets of approximately USD 16.4M by year 3 and USD 49.2M by year 5 (SOM scenario) through packaged offerings and expanded sales capacity.

Differentiation vs. competitors

• 100% online delivery plus targeted healthcare compliance expertise creates a niche between high‑overhead integrators (whose minimum engagements price out smaller clients) and narrowly productized compliance vendors (which often lack full operational change services).
• A productized service catalogue (templates, accelerators, training kits) reduces time‑to‑value and predictable pricing for SMEs and small providers—addressing procurement sensitivity and lowering CAC relative to bespoke, on‑site models.
• Focus on outcome measurement (time‑to‑launch, compliance score improvements, avoided operational costs) positions the company to sell on quantifiable ROI rather than technical specifications alone, improving conversion in price‑sensitive segments.

Values

Operational excellence (core)

The company prioritizes repeatable, high‑quality delivery: every engagement follows documented deployment models and quality checklists to ensure predictable outcomes and client satisfaction. This value underpins the strategy to productize IP and reduce delivery variance.

Client‑centred measurable impact

Decisions are guided by demonstrable client benefit: projects are scoped with defined KPIs (e.g., target reduction in process time, target compliance readiness milestones) and signed off with clients on expected ROI. This discipline increases accountability and investor visibility into performance.
