AI capability is creating real value. Blueprint helps you build it.

We score where each company actually stands on AI maturity, then work alongside its own people to build the workflows that make the difference, not just hand you a report.

Every company says it’s doing AI,
but a pilot doesn’t automatically impact EBITDA.

Two ways to work with us

One diagnostic. Two motions.

For Private Equity Firms

Portfolio partnership

We run Blueprint across your portfolio, co-branded. You get a comparable AXIS benchmark across every company you own, and a real read on which ones are actually ahead.

For Advisors

Deal-flow partnership

Bring Blueprint to a client preparing to go to market. Pre-close, the Gap Map and Builder Roster become part of what makes the company attractive to a buyer, not a slide that says “we’re exploring AI.” Post-close, we’re introduced to the team that just bought it. Either way, we’re closing the gap alongside the company, not exposing it, and there’s a referral structure for advisors who bring us in.

What your portfolio gets

Where each company stands,
and the people to build it.

01

A consistent diagnostic

The same AXIS framework, four dimensions, one rubric, every time, run across every company you own. Comparable results, not one-off custom work you can’t line up side by side.

02

A Gap Map and Builder Roster, per company

Each company gets its own honest assessment (the Gap Map) and its own internal champions identified (the Builder Roster), with their consent.

03

A partner who can build, not just assess

When a company surfaces an opportunity bigger than a workflow, we have a fund and a team. We co-invest alongside you, not sell you an add-on engagement.

Our diagnostic

The AXIS Framework.

Every company in scope is scored on the same four dimensions, then placed on the Autonomy Stack, Curious to Connected. That’s what makes results comparable across a portfolio, or across a target and its peers.

See where a portfolio company stands on the AI AXIS.

Four questions, one per dimension, scored against the same rubric we use in a real engagement. Run it on one portfolio company, then decide if it’s worth running on the rest.

Question 1 of 4
Action

Where does AI actually touch this company’s day-to-day operations right now?

Why it matters

Scoring a company’s AI maturity doesn’t make it more valuable. Building real AI workflows inside it does.

Why HVL

We build companies for a living. Blueprint runs like one.

01

We operate, we don’t just advise

Strategy firms sell advice and leave. We run a venture studio and a co-investment fund, and the same discipline that finds an edge inside a company we’re building from scratch is what we bring to the org chart in front of you.

02

We’ve built with our own capital

Shegun built and exited Therapy Brands for $1.25B before founding HVL. The read we give you comes from someone who’s actually built the thing, not audited it.

How it works

A ninety-day engagement.
Four stages, a decision after each.

01Weeks 1–2

Assessment

We meet with department heads and run a confidential survey at each company, whether that’s one target or the whole portfolio. Every employee answers privately.

02Week 3

Delivery

The Gap Map, Builder Roster, and prioritized plan, delivered in a working session with each company’s leadership.

03Weeks 3–12

Activation

We work alongside each company’s team to ship priority pilots, coach the builders, and create momentum department by department.

04Week 12+

Follow-up

A repeat survey measures real movement. Most departments advance a full phase in the first quarter.

Before you ask

FAQ

“We don’t want to force this on portcos that don’t need it.”

Neither do we, and it runs diagnostic first, with no pressure attached. A portco that scores well is useful information too.

“How is this different from our existing value-creation playbook?”

It sits underneath it, not on top of it. Blueprint is the execution layer, not another slide in the deck.

“Does this slow down our process or complicate the deal?”

No. The assessment runs in two weeks, in parallel with the process, and the output is a document the target can hand to buyers, not a new gate to clear.
