Constraint-based capital allocation

Stop guessing where
to put the money.

Scalyst Engine is a diagnostic for founder-led service businesses. It identifies which operational constraint is actually limiting your growth - so you allocate capital to the thing that matters, not the thing that's loudest.

Owner Dependency

Revenue scales with your hours. Every new client costs you time you don't have. Growth and delivery compete for the same resource - you.

Delivery Bottleneck

You can sell more than you can fulfill. Capacity isn't keeping up with demand, and quality starts to slip before you notice.

Sales Throughput

Pipeline isn't the problem - conversion is. Leads come in, but the close rate tells you something upstream is misaligned.

Cash Timing

The business is profitable on paper. But receivables lag, payroll doesn't wait, and the gap between invoiced and collected is where stress lives.

Margin Compression

Revenue grows but profit doesn't follow. Costs creep, scope expands, and the work gets harder without getting more valuable.

You don't fix all of these at once.

At any given time, one constraint is binding. It's the bottleneck that caps everything above it. Allocate capital there - and only there - until it breaks.

Scalyst Engine doesn't sell you a system. It shows you where yours is stuck. No frameworks. No funnels. Just the constraint that's costing you the most - and what to do about it.
