BVC ENGAGEMENT

A three-step process inside CV3

Benchmark, Rebuild, Compound — sequenced deployments, not recommendations.

STEP 1 — BENCHMARK

Teardown the cost base, audit the GTM

BVC ran the Cost Structure Teardown and GTM Efficiency Audit. Mapped vendor sprawl, SaaS tool duplication, cloud-cost drift, and pipeline-to-revenue conversion gaps. Output: quantified recoverable dollars, prioritized remediation sequence, and the structural operating leverage available across the performance-based eCommerce economics.

STEP 2 — REBUILD

Cost Engine, then Revenue Engine

Deployed Cost Engine first: vendor compression, AI automation of merchandising and pricing workflows, offshore substitution of onshore engineering. Then layered Revenue Engine — pricing architecture that captured the performance-linked value CV3 was already generating for customers. Embedded operators, not advisors.

STEP 3 — COMPOUND

Margin compound, structured expansion

Normalized the CFO-layer metric stack — unit economics, gross margin, forecast discipline. Installed expansion triggers tied to catalog growth and performance outcomes, so revenue and margin both compounded year over year through structural process discipline rather than one-time cost cuts.
