Value Acceleration Map
The Value Acceleration Map is a date-driven plan that turns your Value Study into named milestones, named owners, and quantified impact on multiple — integrated with your existing CPA, attorney, and wealth advisor, tracked on a live dashboard.
From "what's wrong" to "who's doing what, by when."
The Value Study identifies the gaps. The Value Acceleration Map closes them. We translate every priority action into a milestone with a date, an owner, an estimated impact on multiple, and a check-in cadence — then we run the program.

Your CPA stays your CPA. Your attorney stays your attorney. Your wealth advisor stays your wealth advisor. The Value Acceleration Map is the shared plan that lets all of us run in coordination — not a memo asking them to step aside.
Questions owners ask about the Map.
What is a Value Acceleration Map?
A date-driven plan that turns the Value Study's findings into named milestones, named owners, and quantified impact on multiple, tracked on a live dashboard shared with your advisor team. It is Phase 3 of Exit Engine's pathway.
How long does it take to build the Map?
Four to six weeks from the completed Value Study to an approved plan.
What do I need before starting?
A completed Value Study. The Map is built directly from its value-gap analysis and priority-ranked action plan.
Who owns each milestone?
Every milestone has a named owner: Exit Engine, you, or one of your existing advisors — your CPA, attorney, wealth advisor, or fractional CFO. Trade-offs are explicit because each milestone carries an estimated impact on multiple.
Does the Map replace my CPA, attorney, or wealth advisor?
No. Your CPA stays your CPA and your attorney stays your attorney. The Map is the shared plan that lets everyone run in coordination, not a memo asking anyone to step aside.
What kinds of workstreams are typical?
Moving from cash to accrual accounting, de-risking top-customer concentration, restructuring the entity for a tax window such as QSBS eligibility, documenting core processes, refreshing customer contracts and IP assignments, and standing up a second-in-command with documented authority.
How is progress tracked?
On a live dashboard visible to you and your advisor team, updated weekly.
What comes after the Map?
Consulting — the execution phase, where Exit Engine specialists run a coordinated program against the milestone plan until the business is diligence-ready.
