GTM Execution
Operate
Operate installs the operating system the diagnostic said was missing: coverage modeling, forecast cadence, and ICP re-scoring against your real win data. Your team inherits working artifacts that keep running after the engagement ends, not recommendations that expire.

The CEO read: the same forecast that missed the board twice starts holding, week after week, before the next board meeting.

What this is
Operate runs the execution-level work that typically stalls after a diagnostic: coverage capacity modeling, pipeline integrity and forecast cadence design, and ICP re-scoring against the company's real win data. These are the mechanics that turn a scored gap into a changed number. This is available self-serve, where your own operator runs it on the platform, or assisted, where a senior operator runs it with you rather than handing over a static report.
Scope is agreed up front. Most Operate engagements run for a contained period and are scoped to one or two of the three workstreams above. The outputs are working artifacts your team inherits and operates, not recommendations that expire when the engagement ends.
Tied to the board's numbers, not a separate system
The coverage model, the forecast cadence, and the ICP re-scoring all read from and write back to the same metric baseline the board already sees. Nothing installed during Operate lives in a private spreadsheet or a consultant's working file. The operating system your team inherits is the one the board can watch working, because every input and every output ties back to the numbers already on the board book.
Where it sits in the sequence
Operate is the third dashboard in the GTM Execution sequence. It follows the GTM Diagnostic and typically Quantify. Prove follows to confirm whether the number moved. You do not need to run all four at once; start with what is most actionable now.
