Terms Explained
We believe in transparency. Here's what everything means in plain English — from our proprietary methodology to every partnership and compensation structure we offer.
- Visioneering™
- Visioneering™ is a proprietary strategic methodology by Galorious Expression — fractional embedded operations leadership that installs clarity, governance, and measurable execution cadence for founder-led teams. Unlike general consulting, Visioneering™ operates inside your business cadence as an embedded partnership, not an outside advisory relationship.
- C·B·A™ Operational Cadence
- The C·B·A™ Operational Cadence is the three-phase operational framework applied across every Galorious Expression engagement: Clarity (Auditing & Alignment) → Boundaries (Goals & Governance) → Action (Expectations & Execution). Each phase builds on the last — you can't set boundaries without clarity, and you can't take aligned action without both.
- Retainer
- A Retainer is a fixed monthly fee for a set number of consulting hours. Think of it like a gym membership — you pay a fixed amount each month and use the hours as needed within your tier.
- Revenue Share
- Revenue Share is a performance bonus tied to top-line sales directly influenced by the consultant. If I help you generate new revenue, I earn a small percentage of those sales. Simple, aligned incentives.
- Profit Share
- Profit Share is a bonus calculated from net profit after agreed expenses, rather than gross revenue. Unlike revenue share, this looks at what's actually profitable — lower risk for you.
- Advisory Equity
- Advisory Equity is a small ownership stake — typically 0.25%–1.5% — earned over time in exchange for strategic advisory contributions beyond cash consulting.
- Vesting
- Vesting is the process of earning equity incrementally over time rather than receiving it all at once. Usually distributed monthly to ensure long-term commitment from both sides.
- Cliff
- A Cliff is a minimum time threshold — typically 3 months — before equity starts vesting. If the partnership doesn't work out early, no equity changes hands. Protects both sides.
- Cap
- A Cap is the maximum bonus payout allowed per engagement year. Keeps things predictable and ensures shared risk stays reasonable.
- Floor
- A Floor is the minimum payout guaranteed once any qualifying revenue is generated. Ensures small wins are worth the paperwork and that early progress is recognized.
