StratOS Power-User Program

For the founders and operators who keep running the assessment

The StratOS power-user program recognizes the people who treat the assessment as an operating habit — not a one-off read. Founders of small-to-mid businesses and owner-operators past the “just keep it alive” stage, lean teams without a full strategy or ops function in-house, and operators who want an outside-in read on where the business is strong and where it leaks, every quarter.

If you’ve taken the Starter teaser more than once — or if you’ve unlocked the Growth or Scale advisory — you’re already on the path in.

Benefits

Three reasons to keep coming back

Early access to new insight modules
Members preview new analysis modules — financial modeling refinements, automation diagnostics, team-readiness benchmarks — weeks before they roll out to the general catalog. Same advisor flow, more lift per run.
Exclusive benchmarks
A private benchmark dashboard compares your evaluation numbers against the cohort of founders and operators who have completed the assessment repeatedly, with breakdowns by revenue band, stage, and tier. Context you won’t find in the public report.
Public recognition
A verified StratOS Power-User profile and a board-ready citation for your site, deck, or LinkedIn — the same credential founders use to show customers, investors, and hiring candidates that their operating decisions are externally pressure-tested.
Eligibility

How you qualify

Two paths into the program — match the language from the Growth and Scale tier cards and the post-purchase receipts.

Path 1 — Run the assessment on a cadence

Founders and operators who retake the StratOS assessment on a recurring cadence build the most useful track record. Each completed evaluation moves you closer to entry.

  • 5 evaluationsUnlocks the Insider track: the private benchmark view across your five runs and the running trendline across the five dimensions.
  • 15 evaluationsQualifies you for the Power-User credential. Your track record becomes the basis for the public citation and the comparison cohort.
  • 30+ evaluationsInvited to the inner-circle quarterly review — direct conversations with the advisors behind the new insight modules.
Path 2 — Unlock the Growth and Scale tiers

Paid engagements on the higher tiers fast-track the credential on day one. You also unlock the deeper deliverables that the program is designed around.

  • Growth advisorySubscribers to the Growth advisory (monthly, quarterly, or annual) enter the program immediately — the full 15-question executive roadmap plus the downloadable PDF is the working baseline.
  • Scale advisory ($399/quarter)Scale subscribers get the credential, the benchmarks, and the early-access modules on top of the dedicated strategist, board-ready plan, and quarterly business reviews.
  • Power-User renewalMaintain the credential by completing at least one evaluation per quarter — or by keeping an active Growth or Scale subscription in good standing.
Power-User FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they sign up

Cost, the public citation, the milestone thresholds, and what happens if you step away — answered straight.

What does the program cost, and how long does a credential last?

There is no separate feefor the program itself — the credential, the benchmarks, and the early-access modules are bundled into the Growth and Scale advisories. Path-1 entrants (cadence runners) carry the credential for as long as they keep completing at least one evaluation per quarter. Path-2 entrants (paid subscribers) keep the credential while the underlying Growth or Scale subscription stays active. The free Starter teaser does not, on its own, qualify for the program.

What does the public citation actually look like?

Verified members get a StratOS Power-User profile page tied to your company and a board-ready citation block you can paste into your site, your deck, or your LinkedIn — the same credential founders use to show customers, investors, and hiring candidates that their operating decisions are externally pressure-tested. The profile shows the credential tier, the date of the most recent evaluation, and a private link back to the full report — no proprietary score is exposed publicly.

What are the qualification thresholds, exactly?

Two paths into the program — match either one and the credential unlocks automatically.

  • Path 1 (cadence) — 5 completed evaluations unlocks the Insider benchmark view; 15 unlocks the full Power-User credential; 30+ invites you to the inner-circle quarterly review.
  • Path 2 (paid) — active Growth advisory (monthly, quarterly, or annual) or the Scale advisory ($399/quarter) qualifies on day one — no evaluation history required.
What happens if I lapse or cancel?

The credential is a livesignal, not a permanent badge. Path-2 members who cancel their Growth or Scale advisory drop from the program at the end of the paid period and the public profile moves to “inactive.” Path-1 members whose evaluation cadence drops below once per quarter move to inactive the same way. Reactivation is automatic the moment you resume a qualifying evaluation cadence or re-subscribe to a Growth or Scale advisory — the profile reactivates without losing your historical benchmark data.

Is this a replacement for the assessment subscription?

No — it’s a layer on top. The assessment itself (Starter free, Growth $97+, Scale $399/quarter) stays the source of every dimension score and every action in your report. The Power-User Program adds recognition, benchmarks, and early access aroundthe assessment. You don’t replace your subscription to enter the program; you maintain a quality cadence (Path 1) or a paid advisory (Path 2) and the program sits on top.

The Power-User Program rides on top of the Growth and Scale advisories — the credential, the benchmarks, and the early-access modules come built in. Review the pricing tiers to see which one unlocks the program on day one.
