When this matters
Your portco built working AI. Revenue hasn't followed.
The commercial model is still SaaS. Pricing, GTM, and operating cadence haven't been rebuilt for AI delivery.
You need an operator who has solved this problem before and can show the financial results.
I go in as CEO. Collapse the portfolio. Reset GTM. Convert AI to EBITDA.

Price the outcome, not your target margin
Start from customer value, not cost plus markup.

Deliver first
Prove the result before you scale the contract.

If your portfolio company has AI that isn't driving EBITDA, I've solved that problem twice.
