One profitability model for every portco. Built once, deployed in weeks.

CostCtrl is the operating model platform built for operating partners who want to deploy profitability programmes across portfolio companies. One repeatable methodology, transferable across operationally complex industries, run by each portco's own finance team.

Why CostCtrl works at portfolio scale.

Every operating partner wants the same thing: more profit out of the companies they already own. The blocker is the same at each one. The P&L reports the past, no one can see where margin is made or lost, and there is no consistent way to compare one portco against another.

CostCtrl was built so the same methodology deploys at every portco, with results comparable across them. The model schema is shared. The allocation engine is shared. What changes is the data, the customers, and the activities, all of which the platform absorbs without a custom build.

First margin findings in weeks. The same method at the next portco.

How a typical portfolio engagement works.

Four phases, repeatable across the portfolio. Each phase has a defined output and a clear hand-off to the operating team.

Portfolio review

One-week diagnostic across all portcos. Identify the two or three with the highest signal-to-effort ratio for a profitability programme.

Prioritisation

With the operating partner and the portco's leadership team, pick the first portco and lock the model scope. Two-day workshop.

First deployment

Build, integrate, and run the first model. End with a board-ready profitability deck and a finance team that owns the model.

Scale-out

Roll the same methodology across the remaining priority portcos. Each subsequent deployment is faster than the last as the playbook firms up.

Pricing built for portfolios, not single companies.

Portfolio engagements are priced differently from direct customers. The intent is for the per-portco rate to fall as the portfolio commits more deeply.

First portco

Single rate

A single portco engagement, priced as a direct customer would be: a one-off setup fee, a monthly platform fee, and the same right to cancel in the first three months.

Multi-portco

Per-portco rate

Portfolio-wide minimum plus a discounted per-portco rate, designed so the marginal cost of adding each portco is lower than the first.

Portfolio licence

Annual fee

Unlimited deployments across the portfolio for an annual commitment. Best suited to sponsors running profitability as a portfolio-wide programme.
