Ryan built the first version of the harness for himself. The hard part of a senior fractional practice was everything around the client work: reloading context, tracking follow-up, producing documents, staying visible, billing, collections, and keeping a pipeline warm.
At Gauges Green, you keep the client work and you keep the clients. The practice carries everything around the work.
Talk about joining Gauges Green
Gauges Green takes on three parts of running a practice.
We run marketing and the website. Each partner is represented as the operator for a real function. As partners join, introductions flow across the practice: a product client who needs a People executive meets the People partner.
We bill your clients, collect the money, and maintain contracts and templates. After the agreed share comes out of collections, we deposit the rest with you.
The harness keeps client context current and tied to sources, captures meetings with speaker attribution, checks outbound work, and keeps commitments visible. Extending it to another function means adding that partner's channels, clients, rules, and quality gates.
You have owned a real function at a serious company. You have carried the number, hired the team, made the tradeoffs, and lived with the result. Whatever title you use today, the bar is the operating standard you held in that seat.
Gauges Green takes a share of what it collects from your clients. You never pay Gauges Green out of pocket. The share comes out of collections, so there is no cost until billing starts.
The model only works if the back office, distribution, harness, and peer review are worth more than that share.
Each partner owns a function, chooses their clients, and runs engagements their way. Grow the practice area and bring practitioners underneath you, or keep it small. Both can work.
Existing partners vote on new partners. The bar is what a top company would trust with a core function. One weak engagement damages trust across the entire practice.
If this stops working for you, you keep your clients and leave. No lock-in.
