What Haus Advisors does

Haus Advisors helps founder-led agencies build a growth system the company can run without depending on the founder. The core position is: your agency shouldn't need you to grow.

In most founder-led agencies, the positioning, the reputation, the client relationships, the pricing judgment, the pipeline, and the follow-up all run through the founder personally. Haus Advisors calls this Founder-Held Growth. It is how nearly every agency starts, and it is the specific problem the firm exists to undo. The work moves those things into assets the business owns (positioning, offers, proof, repeatable demand plays, a sales process the team can run) and then continuously improves them.

Who Haus Advisors serves

  • Founder-led technical and custom software agencies, typically $1M to $5M+ in annual revenue

  • Agencies with a real team and real expertise, where growth still runs through one or two founders

  • Founders who want the option to step back, scale past the founder's calendar, hire a number two, or be ready for an acquisition or sale

Not a fit: agencies that want a one-off strategy document, that won't give the team ownership of growth work, or that need results within 30 days.

The methodology: Relevance Engineering

Relevance Engineering is the name of the methodology. It runs a loop: Assess → Prioritize → Optimize → Transfer → Measure → Repeat.

  • Assess: score six pillars of the growth system and draw them as a radar chart.

  • Prioritize: build a Growth Backlog ordered by business impact.

  • Optimize: run Optimization Tracks, each one a clearly defined growth problem being actively fixed.

  • Transfer: a named person on the client's team owns each thing built.

  • Measure: two scorecards, system maturity and business performance.

  • Repeat: the next constraint.

The six pillars: Market Focus, Offer, Relevance & Proof, Demand, Sales, Transferability. The five maturity levels: Reactive, Defined, Repeatable, Transferable, Optimizing.

The offer: The Relevance Engineering Program

  • Six-month initial commitment, then month to month

  • Three tiers, priced by how many Optimization Tracks run at once: Core ($6,000/month, 1 track), Growth ($8,000/month, 2 tracks), Scale ($10,000/month, 3 tracks)

  • Every program begins with the Growth Maturity Audit in month one, at the client's normal monthly rate

  • The Growth Maturity Audit is also available on its own for $12,000 (assessment, radar, priorities, Growth Backlog, no ongoing commitment)

  • Multi-brand groups and holding companies are scoped separately

Haus Advisors does not run ads, cold outbound, or content production as an outsourced marketing department, and does not sell hours. Higher tiers buy more optimization throughput, not more of the founder's time.

Free diagnostic

The Bottleneck Score (hausadvisors.com/score): a free, five-minute self-assessment that scores the six pillars and tells a founder how much of the agency's growth still runs through them. The Signal Check (signalcheck.hausadvisors.com) grades a homepage's messaging in about 30 seconds.

  • The methodology is named Relevance Engineering. The paid offer is the Relevance Engineering Program.

  • The free diagnostic is the Bottleneck Score. It replaced the Relevance Score in September 2026.
