For more than a decade, ClearSummit has built production software for major corporations and startups. Leveraged Velocity gives growing companies access to that product-team experience. We learn from your customers, support tickets, systems, and data; decide what will matter most; then plan, scope, build, launch, and measure it.
01 · Starting pointBusiness problem → working model
Start where your business actually is
Already have the queue? We can work through it. Know the problem but not the software answer? We can find the leverage points with you.
Best when the queue already exists
Build
You have a prioritized queue. We work through it.
What we need from you: Someone on your side keeps priorities clear and answers questions.

Best when the work still needs finding
Guided
You know where the business is stuck. We find the best leverage points with you.
What we need from you: Bring the business context and a sponsor who can decide. We turn the problem into a plan and ship it.
The storefront, warehouse system, ERP, or accounting platform disagree about order, inventory, or fulfillment state, and people reconcile the differences by hand.
One order path can connect across the systems that own it, with exceptions surfaced for a person instead of every record being re-keyed.
Usually Build when the integration queue is already specified; Guided when the source-of-truth and process decisions are still open.
The storefront, warehouse or 3PL, and accounting system each hold part of the answer, so someone still walks the floor or checks three screens before making a decision.
The systems can feed one operating view that makes discrepancies visible instead of quietly overwriting them.
Build when the source systems and reconciliation rules are known; Guided when the source of truth still has to be settled with the business.
Example 04 · Field operations & mobile coordination
The office and field teams work from different information
Assignments, status changes, photos, and exceptions travel by phone call or text, so the office learns what happened after the fact and the field learns what is next the same way.
A field-facing mobile experience can connect scheduling or dispatch with assignments, job status, photos, and exceptions where the work happens.
Build when the first field workflow is already named; Guided when the problem is clear but the best leverage point still has to be found with the crews and office team.
Two people bring two different numbers to the same meeting
Important operating or customer data lives in several systems. Each report rebuilds the definitions and repairs the data by hand, so the answer depends on who prepared it.
A repeatable data path can keep the definition, source data, and operating view together instead of recreating them for every question.
Usually Guided, because the useful decisions and trustworthy definitions have to be established with the business.
A purchase order, contract, onboarding step, or internal handoff waits because nobody can see who has it, what is missing, or when it needs attention.
The workflow can carry visible ownership, status, and escalation, with AI drafting or pre-filling only where it earns a place and a person still approving.
Guided when the highest-friction handoff still has to be found; Build when the workflow, owners, and rules are already specified.
A repeated decision needs automation without losing oversight
A team repeatedly classifies, extracts, drafts, or recommends inside an operating workflow, but exceptions still need a named person to approve, reject, or escalate them.
A model can sit inside the existing workflow with defined authority, human review, exception handling, and an audit trail.
Guided when the leverage point and control model still need to be designed; Build when the workflow, reviewers, and acceptance rules are already specified.
Support tickets, product usage, and customer conversations keep pointing to the same difficult step, but nobody has turned that evidence into an ordered product change.
Support evidence, usage data, and direct customer conversations can point to the next product change and the operating playbook around it.
Build when the product queue is already owned and prioritized; Guided when the problem is clear but the highest-leverage change still has to be found.
Build and Guided start differently. Both aim for one agreed milestone you can see and judge by day 30.
30
Build
We start with the first priority from the queue you already have.
Guided
We use the first part of the 30 days to find and shape the highest-leverage first move.
By day 30
The agreed milestone is working and can be judged against the pass test in your SOW.
If we miss the agreed milestone for reasons within our control, choose ten business days at no charge or end the engagement with your first month refunded and nothing further owed.
02 · Operating layerPrioritized work → software live
From business problem to software in use
We start with the business, put the work in order, and keep one priority moving.
Step 1
Get close to the problem
We work directly with the people, customers, tickets, systems, and data closest to it, when useful and authorized.
Step 2
Find the leverage
We decide where a product, integration, internal tool, workflow, AI, or better process can change the result, then put it into a quarterly plan.
Step 3
Build the right thing
We keep one active priority and the next four weeks visible, then design, build, integrate, and put reviewable software live every week.
Step 4
Close the loop
We target the first named milestone by day 30, measure usage, diagnose issues, and leave your team with the tools and SOPs to run what we built.
This works when
A clear business problem is enough. You do not need to arrive with the software answer.
We can get into your systems and ship through them.
The problem costs you enough to be worth 90 days.
It is probably not right when
One job with a definite end. Commission a bounded project. A standing subscription is the wrong shape for it.
It is still an idea. First get specific about where the business is stuck, who feels it, and why it matters. You do not need a software plan yet.
You need someone in-house full time. Hire one. We will say so rather than sell you this.
The work must be fixed-scope and fixed-price. That is a project. We do not promise delivery dates for work nobody has specified.
Nobody on your side can decide every week. It stalls. That is the most common way this goes wrong.
03 · Practical layerControl and boundaries → fit decision
Control and the edges of the offer
The ownership and operating boundaries that matter before you start.
What you control
The bespoke work you have paid for
Ownership of the custom deliverables built for you transfers on payment, under the assignment terms in your agreement.
Your repositories, accounts, and data
We work inside your systems. Repositories, infrastructure, vendor accounts, credentials, and data stay under your control throughout.
Base-offer boundaries
We do not sell hoursYou buy an agreed priority and visible output, not a timesheet.
Not an anonymous developer poolMeet the people proposed for your engagement before you commit. If that team has to change, we tell you before it happens.
Direct access, not frontline supportYour team keeps the support queue. We work directly with tickets, systems, data, and customers when useful and authorized so we can diagnose and fix the underlying product problem.
