The Rain or Shine Growth Check

Before we recommend anything, we get to know your business. The Growth Check is a focused, honest look at where you are today: where growth is working, where it's leaking, and what to do first. You keep the plan whether or not we work together.

What we evaluate

The whole of your business, in one read

Our senior team looks across the same six areas we work in, so nothing gets reviewed in isolation. Here are the questions we set out to answer.

Business & leadership

  • Your goals and where you want to be in the next 12 to 24 months
  • Revenue mix, margins and unit economics
  • Team structure, ownership and how decisions get made
  • Key vendor, sourcing and partner relationships

Brand, marketing & sales

  • How clearly your story and positioning stand out
  • Channel mix and performance: email, SMS, social, paid and wholesale
  • How you win new customers and keep them coming back
  • Campaign calendar, cadence and follow-through

Product

  • Hero products, gaps and assortment
  • Pricing and how it supports margin
  • Roadmap and how new products get to launch
  • How customer feedback shapes what comes next

Technology

  • Your tech stack and how well the pieces talk to each other
  • CRM and marketing automation setup
  • Data flow and whether your reporting can be trusted
  • Access, security and single points of failure

E-commerce & operations

  • Site health, speed and the path from visit to checkout
  • Fulfillment, shipping and returns
  • Inventory, demand planning and replenishment
  • Store, wholesale and marketplace operations

AI & automation

  • Manual work that is ready to automate
  • Content and media production
  • Reporting that could run itself
  • How ready your site is for AI-driven search

How it works

Four steps to a clear plan

Simple on your side, thorough on ours.

  1. 1

    Intro conversation

    We listen first: your goals, what's working, and what's keeping you up at night.

  2. 2

    Share & access

    You share a few key numbers and read-only access to the tools that matter. Nothing more than we need.

  3. 3

    Senior review

    Our team works through all six areas together, connecting the dots between them.

  4. 4

    Findings call

    A straight-talk walkthrough of what we found and what we'd do first.

What you walk away with

A plan you can act on

Not a sales deck. A clear view of where you stand and the few moves that matter most right now.

  1. 01

    A clear snapshot

    Strengths, risks and leaks across all six areas, in plain language.

  2. 02

    Prioritized next steps

    Quick wins, next-quarter priorities and the bigger bets worth planning for.

  3. 03

    Straight talk, no strings

    Our honest take on what we'd do first. The plan is yours whether or not we work together.

What we'll ask for

Easy to get started

Bring what you have. We'll work with it.

  • Recent sales and margin numbers, ideally the last 12 months
  • Read-only access to your store and analytics
  • Access to your email, SMS, social and ad platforms
  • Your goals for the year and the challenges you already know about
  • The right people on your team for a short follow-up or two

Who it's for

A good fit if you're ready to grow

The Growth Check works best for:

  • Founder-led startups vetting a new idea or launch
  • Growing consumer brands that have outgrown their systems
  • Established brands at a turning point: new leadership, new channels or a slowdown
  • Teams that know something is off but can't yet say what

Let's level set on your growth.

Tell us a little about your business and what you'd like to get out of the Growth Check. We'll follow up to set up the intro conversation.
