PART 1

Before You Build

UTE requires the foundation of unified data and embedded intelligence. You cannot multiply capability on a fragmented platform.

1.1

Tool Ecosystem Audit

Map current tool landscape, identify overlap, calculate total cost of ownership.

  • • All tools by function
  • • Integration dependencies
  • • License costs + maintenance
~30 min
1.2

Leverage Assessment

Identify where you have leverage vs. linear scaling. Find capability multiplication opportunities.

  • • Revenue per employee
  • • Coordination overhead
  • • Time-to-productivity
~20 min
1.3

Consolidation Roadmap

Plan phased migration from specialized tools to unified platform capabilities.

  • • Priority by business impact
  • • Contract expiration timing
  • • Team change capacity
~25 min

Full Stack Dependency

UTE is the culmination of all four views. Don't start without UCV, URV, and UBC foundations in place.

PART 2

Hub Configuration

Configure unified platform capabilities to replace specialized tools with native functionality.

2.1

Marketing Hub

Consolidate marketing tools

45 min

2.2

Sales Hub

Unify sales stack

40 min

2.3

Service Hub

Consolidate service tools

35 min

2.4

Operations Hub

Platform orchestration layer

30 min

2.5

Strategic Integrations

Connect remaining essential tools via Operations Hub

30 min

2.6

Tool Sunset Planning

Phase out replaced specialized tools

20 min

Consolidation Philosophy

Replace specialized tools with native platform capability. Integrate only what can't be natively consolidated.

PART 3

Cross-Functional Workflows

Build workflows that span functions automatically—replacing manual handoffs with platform coordination.

3.1

Marketing-to-Sales

Automated lead qualification and routing with full engagement context preserved.

  • • Lead scoring automation
  • • Assignment workflows
  • • Context transfer
~35 min
3.2

Sales-to-Service

Deal close triggers implementation kickoff with complete commitment context.

  • • Handoff automation
  • • Onboarding triggers
  • • Expectation transfer
~30 min
3.3

Service-to-Success

Support patterns inform health scoring and proactive expansion identification.

  • • Health score updates
  • • Expansion signals
  • • Risk flagging
~25 min

Coordination Philosophy

Teams collaborate through shared platform visibility, not meetings and manual handoffs.

PART 4

Validation & Milestones

How do you know if it's working? Each milestone has specific leverage indicators.

4.1

Foundation: "Platform Operational"

Unified platform deployed. Core workflows operating across functions. Teams working in shared system.

Test: "Can a new team member find complete context in one place?"

Answer should be yes, with onboarding time measured in days

4.2

Capability: "Leverage Manifesting"

Revenue growing without proportional hiring. Capacity gains measurable. Coordination overhead decreasing.

Test: "Is revenue per employee improving?"

Trend should be positive over 2+ quarters

4.3

Multiplication: "Competitive Advantage"

Capability multiplication as strategic differentiator. Enterprise sophistication at mid-market scale.

Indicators: Market recognizes productivity advantage; talent attracted by platform capabilities

READINESS

Consolidation Readiness

Ready If...

  • Leadership committed to platform mindset over tool collection
  • Teams willing to trade specialized features for unified capability
  • Change capacity available for platform adoption investment
  • Previous three views (UCV, URV, UBC) established or in progress

Not Ready If...

  • Teams defend specialized tools regardless of organizational impact
  • Leadership expects immediate results without adoption investment
  • Fear of change stronger than frustration with current chaos
  • Data and intelligence foundations not yet established

Change Investment

Tools can consolidate in months. Learning to leverage unified capability takes quarters.
