    Our proprietary matching system

    Get matched with the partner who does the work for you

    We diagnose the work, then match you with one vetted implementation partner.

    Pick your lane

    For teams

    What this actually is

    Not a directory. Our proprietary matching system introduces you to a partner with judgment attached, ordered by what your diagnosis says to fix first, rather than handing you a list of names to cold-call. Matching is free at any rung of engagement, because the partner pays on the introduction, not you.

    Two steps, both required—audit first

    Do both, audit first. The audit qualifies the work, so every leak in your workspace arrives with the internal / Auto-Fix / partner call already informed.

    1. 1

      Take the Revenue Bottleneck and Leak Audit

      Qualifies the work: budget, authority, need, and timeline for implementation. This is what our proprietary matching system routes on.

      Start the audit
    2. 2

      Then run the free Revenue Agent scan

      Finds the leaks on your site and lands them in your workspace as a tracked checklist, ready to assign.

      Run the free scan

    Want the page fixes applied for you? Auto-Fix does that while you work through the two steps.

    How matching works, across three lanes

    Your audit answers—including budget, authority, need, and timeline—place you in one of three lanes. The proprietary matching system matches on the lane first, then on platform, industry, size, and budget.

    Phase 1

    Foundation work

    CRM hygiene, lifecycle setup, and data cleanup. This is where most audits point first, because tooling and platform work built on a messy foundation just moves the mess faster.

    Phase 2

    Tooling and automation

    Workflow automation, integrations, and reporting once the foundation holds. This is where a connected stack starts paying for itself.

    Phase 3

    Platform-level work

    Migrations, architecture, and custom builds—brought in only when the first two phases justify the investment, not before.

    What you get
    • Pre-qualified introductions matched to your specific gaps and budget, not a generic directory listing.
    • Contracts direct with the partner, at their rates, with no Stack Finder markup on top.
    • A partner who arrives already holding your diagnostic and audit context, so you're not re-explaining the problem.
    • The choice of when to engage whom—matching does not commit you to anything.

    The commercials

    Direct contracts, no markup

    • Contracts are direct between you and the partner.
    • No markup: the rate you're quoted is the rate you pay.
    • No double-paying Stack Finder and a partner for the same work during an active engagement.
    • No lock-in and no exclusivity—you can walk away or bring in someone else at any time.

    Matching is done by hand for direct clients right now. A person reviews the fit before any introduction goes out.

    How partners are vetted

    Four checks, every partner

    01

    Assessment or certification

    Every applicant either passes the qualification assessment on this page or is certified at every Academy level—at least one beginner, one intermediate, and one advanced course. A single certificate does not qualify. Both routes are scored against the same rubric we teach.

    02

    Domain depth

    We require a stated minimum of two years delivering the specific lane a partner applies for, verified through the assessment and confirmed on the call before any introduction is made.

    03

    Reference checks

    We contact real prior clients before a partner is approved. No references, no listing, regardless of how the assessment scored.

    04

    Ongoing quality

    We collect feedback after every engagement we introduce. Partners who fall below our standard lose the lane, whatever they have paid. Vetting and exclusivity are earned, and the fee never buys a listing on its own.

    For partners

    The commercial model, stated up front

    One vetted vendor per lane, a flat entry fee that covers vetting, and a commission that only pays when you close. Terms are public before you apply, so nothing about this is a surprise on a call.

    $500 Exclusivity and Vetting Fee, one time10% of closed-won business we bring you

    The structure

    A $500 one-time Exclusivity and Vetting Fee, plus 10% recurring commission on closed-won business Stack Finder brings you. The flat fee covers vetting and the operational cost of running the matching system. The commission keeps our incentives tied to your growth, not to volume of introductions.

    Exclusive lane, not a lead list

    We limit the network to one highly vetted vendor per specialty lane, so your direct competitors cannot receive matches in your lane. We are not selling leads; we act as your outsourced business development arm. Because partners are not fighting each other for work, a match is a direct, high-intent brief built for your profile.

    The math

    Typical partner deals run $500/month recurring or $3,000/month flat, so one closed-won match is worth $6,000 to $36,000 in first-year contract value. $500 is under 1% to 8% of a single client's annual value—about $41 a month, less than the basic software most vendors already pay for.

    How we frame it

    This is an exclusivity deposit that protects your lane, not a listing fee. It buys first-look rights on every brief that fits your profile, and it filters the network: a vendor who hesitates at $41 a month to secure a lane for high-ticket work is not a vendor we want representing the network.

    The rules that protect it

    • Exclusivity is tied to revenue transparency. Partners report active clients sourced through the matching system each quarter. Refuse to report, misstate the numbers, or take a matched client off-platform, and the lane goes to the vendor waiting in line for it.
    • The upsell rule. The 10% applies to all gross billings originating from a matched client, including upsells, add-on projects, and renewals. Retainer scopes move in both directions, and the commission follows the actual billings either way.
    • Reporting is automated, not chased. Commission tracking runs through connected partner billing rather than monthly invoicing by hand: partners link billing status so the 10% is calculated and routed automatically. Self-reporting covers the interim until billing is connected.
    • Tracked delivery is the enforcement mechanism. The delivery tracker turns this from a passive introduction site into a managed ecosystem. It gives us the operational authority to enforce the commission model, because partners know the work is actively watched across the finish line.

    Every matched engagement is tracked in the delivery workspace buyers and partners both work from, so the state of the work is never in dispute.

    The other route in

    Get certified through the Academy instead

    Certification at every level counts as the knowledge portion of this assessment: at least one beginner course, one intermediate course, and one advanced course. One certificate on its own does not qualify—all three levels do, and then you skip straight to the call, certified through Stack Finder.
