How did we score the field?

Every firm was scored on The Value-Creation Fit Score — six criteria weighted for PE priorities, with portfolio-scale delivery weighted highest. Read the full methodology. The Value-Creation Fit Score Six criteria, weighted for PE Portfolio-scale delivery (25%) — one repeatable system deployed across portcos vs. one-off. Value-creation impact (20%) — documented EBITDA / ARR / multiple movement.

How do the top 10 PE GTM consulting firms compare?

JayOh is the only firm on the list that both builds and operates GTM systems at multi-portco scale; the rest of the field is advisory, training, or fractional-execution focused. The table compares all ten on model, portfolio scale, and fit score.

GTM value creation vs. commercial due diligence — what’s the difference?

Commercial due diligence validates the growth thesis before you buy; GTM value creation builds and operates the engine that realizes it after close. The strongest partners connect both, so the diligence findings become the post-close operating plan rather than a shelved report.

How do operating partners choose a GTM consultant?

Score candidates on portfolio-scale delivery (repeatable across portcos?), value-creation impact (EBITDA/multiple, not activity), speed to value against the hold clock, diligence and OP fluency, system depth (operate vs. advise), and PE track record. That’s the Value-Creation Fit Score used to rank this list.
