Structured Diagnostic

Revenue ArchitectureAudit.

For companies not ready for ongoing engagement. A structured diagnostic of commercial growth architecture.

Clarity before commitment. Structure before scale.

The purpose

Most growth problems are structural.

Before increasing spend, hiring, or launching new channels — the question should be: is the current architecture sound?

The Revenue Architecture Audit answers that question. It identifies where growth is leaking, where structure is missing, and where commercial risk is hiding.

Diagnosis before prescription. Always.

Scope

Five layers assessed.

Each layer of your revenue architecture is reviewed for structural integrity, commercial alignment, and growth readiness.

Positioning & ICP

  • Market clarity
  • Messaging consistency
  • Offer alignment

Funnel Architecture

  • Stage definition
  • Conversion bottlenecks
  • Drop-off logic

Paid & Acquisition Structure

  • Campaign sequencing
  • Budget allocation
  • CAC efficiency

CRM & Lifecycle

  • Lead source integrity
  • Stage logic
  • Sales routing clarity
  • Reporting reliability

Measurement Integrity

  • Tracking structure
  • Attribution gaps
  • Conversion signal quality
  • Forecast viability

Deliverables

What you receive.

Executive Summary

A clear, concise overview of structural strengths and weaknesses across your revenue architecture.

Identified Structural Weaknesses

Specific areas where growth is leaking, conversion is inefficient, or systems are misaligned.

Commercial Risk Assessment

Where the business is exposed — rising CAC, attribution blind spots, forecast fragility.

90-Day Action Roadmap

A prioritised plan of structural improvements sequenced by impact and feasibility.

Revenue Impact Modelling

Projected outcomes of recommended structural changes on pipeline, conversion, and efficiency.

What happens next

Clarity creates options.

Execute internally

Use the roadmap and findings to guide your own team. The audit stands alone as a decision-making tool.

Engage for implementation

Move into a Growth Systems Implementation engagement where Zebra North rebuilds the architecture hands-on.

Engage for ongoing leadership

Progress to a Fractional CMO engagement for embedded revenue architecture leadership over time.

There is no obligation beyond the audit. The value is in the clarity itself.

Best suited for

  • Businesses considering a Fractional CMO but wanting clarity first
  • Leadership teams sensing structural issues but unable to pinpoint them
  • Companies with rising CAC and unclear attribution
  • Founder-led organisations preparing for the next stage of growth
  • Teams with marketing activity but no commercial architecture

Not designed for

  • Pre-revenue startups without existing data
  • Tactical campaign reviews
  • Channel-specific performance audits
  • Businesses seeking a quick content or SEO check

This is a commercial growth architecture assessment, not a marketing channel audit.

Start with clarity

Diagnosis before prescription.

If you suspect the issue is structural rather than tactical, a Revenue Architecture Audit will confirm it — and show you exactly where to focus.
