We only get paid when you get paid.
The 100-Day Growth Partnership is a 12% profit-share engagement. No retainer. No upfront cost. You get a website, SEO, CRM, paid ads, a financial model, and operations optimization — and we only earn when your revenue grows.
The Real Definition
What the 100-Day Growth Partnership Actually Is
It's not an agency retainer. It's not a course. It's not a mastermind. It's a 100-day hands-on engagement where Cause & Effect becomes an operating partner in your business — you keep 100% ownership, we take 12% of monthly revenue for the duration of the engagement.
We absorb everything except your domain ($12/yr) and your own ad spend budget. Hosting, CRM platform, SEO tooling, labor — all on us.
The partnership has three 30-day phases, a contractual delivery guarantee, and one non-negotiable prerequisite: you have to qualify.

Invite-Only
Who Qualifies — Five Criteria
The Partnership is invite-only. Not because of vanity — because profit-share only works when both sides are fully committed.
1. Existing business or validated idea
You've either started or you've validated the concept. We don't build castles in the air.
2. 20+ hours/week of owner commitment
We can't scale a business you're only touching on weekends.
3. Coachable
You're willing to follow the system even when your instincts say otherwise.
4. Strong work ethic
We match your energy. If you're not showing up, we can't either.
5. Growth-minded scale intent
You want to scale, not maintain. This isn't a lifestyle-business engagement.
The Guarantee
Fully Operational in 100 Days — Or We Keep Working at No Additional Cost
A fully operational digital presence, lead generation system, and financial framework within 100 days — or Cause & Effect continues working at no additional cost until delivered. The profit-share model itself is the deeper guarantee: skin in the game on day one.
