Case Study · Public Sector

$42M projected impact, defended in council chambers.

A regional development authority engaged Lark to evaluate the projected economic impact of a $90M mixed-use development. Our team delivered a full input-output study, tax-revenue model, and community-benefits analysis — then walked the council through the methodology line-by-line during the public hearing.

The project was approved unanimously. The methodology has since been used as a template for two additional municipal evaluations.

  • 5 weeks · fixed-fee scopeDiscovery, modelling, drafting, internal review, and council presentation.
  • 320 jobs and $14M in 5-yr tax revenueDirect, indirect, and induced impact projections delivered to the authority.

By Stage

We meet you where you are.

The right fractional engagement looks very different at $1M than at $20M. Here's how we usually structure each stage.

Founder-Led ($1M – $5M)

Owner is still in the work. Books need cleanup, decisions need data, and a few hours of senior thinking a month would change everything.

  • QBO cleanup & close
  • Quarterly check-ins
  • One-page strategic plan

Scaling ($5M – $15M)

First key hires made. The business is growing past what spreadsheets can hold — needs reporting cadence, real budgets, and a strategic plan with teeth.

  • Monthly close & reporting
  • Annual planning offsite
  • KPI dashboard build-out

Established ($15M+)

Real ops team in place. Lark plays a senior advisory role — strategic projects, market research for new bets, and the outside view your team needs.

  • Strategic-project lead
  • Market-entry research
  • Board-ready advisory
In their words

"Lark didn't try to sell us a service we didn't need — they listened, sized the problem honestly, and proposed exactly the right scope. Three quarters in, they're our most trusted outside voice."
