• Where we are vs where were going (org + cost)
• Trade-offs (headcount, payroll %, growth path)
• A credible path to improve payroll efficiency (e.g., :30% :20% of revenue) and support long-term growth (e.g., :$50M $200M+ over time)
• Build current-state org view: functions, reporting lines, spans of control, headcount by vertical and shared services

• Build and maintain a simple, transparent model distinguishing:

• Create 2–3 scenarios (e.g., maintain / rationalize & focus / growth-led) showing:
• Revenue trajectory by line
• Payroll and cost structure by vertical/shared services
• Payroll % of revenue trend toward target
• Produce decision outputs (1–2 pages, charts, and answerable questions), e.g.:

• What volume of initiatives justifies in-house teams vs agency?
• Own drafting and iteration of the board-ready strategy deck (Option 1 only)
• Make the audience vs revenue distinction vivid and actionable for board-level readers
