Performance Looks Strong - Until It's Tested
The real test comes under pressure: growth, scrutiny, transition, or diligence.
ClearPeg works with 8- and 9-figure owners to reduce key-person dependency, stabilize decision flow, and protect enterprise value before fragility shows up in the numbers.
Growth, leadership transitions, and external scrutiny reveal whether performance truly holds without you in the room.
You hire ClearPeg to ensure decisions move, accountability holds, and execution does not depend on one indispensable person.
HOW IT WORKS:
-
Map key-person dependency and decision bottlenecks before pressure exposes them
-
Stabilize decision rights and ownership so execution doesn’t default upward
-
Build bench strength so performance holds when a key-person is out
Most businesses don’t fail because of strategy.
They fail when execution slows, decisions bottleneck, or too much depends on too few people — especially when pressure increases.
Leadership risk shows up in three places:
Reduce Key-Person Dependency
Clarify decision rights and build bench strength so outcomes don’t hinge on one indispensable person.
Increase Decision Velocity Under Pressure
Remove bottlenecks and tighten ownership so decisions move cleanly as complexity and scrutiny increase.
Stabilize Execution During Scrutiny
Make commitments hold through growth, transition, and diligence without last-minute heroics.
Most owners come to ClearPeg when they realize the risk is no longer theoretical — and they’re not sure it would hold up under scrutiny.
With more than 30 years of operating experience, ClearPeg begins by mapping how decisions are made, where execution slows, and where the business depends too heavily on a few individuals.
We align quickly to the pressure points that matter most.
Hidden assumptions are surfaced and tested under real operating conditions. We work with leaders the business depends on whether formally identified or not to improve judgment, accountability, and decision flow when stakes are high. The work creates space for clear thinking, honest reflection, and forward movement under pressure.
ClearPeg is not for everyone.
ClearPeg exists for moments when leadership capability becomes enterprise risk.
We work with owners and leaders willing to confront reality and strengthen the systems their business depends on.

Where ClearPeg Fits in the
Exit Planning Ecosystem
ClearPeg operates within the exit planning ecosystem, working alongside Exit Planning Institute-aligned advisors, CEPAs, CBEC practitioners, XPX and other value-focused professionals who help owners prepare for growth, transition, or liquidity events.
While financial, legal, and valuation work defines deal structure, ClearPeg focuses on the human systems buyers scrutinize under pressure — leadership behavior, decision flow, accountability, and dependency on key individuals. These factors often determine whether an exit plan survives diligence.
By stabilizing leadership systems early, ClearPeg strengthens exit readiness and reduces the leadership risk that can undermine valuation, confidence, and transferability.
