Running a CEA facility means navigating crop science, labor, energy, and margins — all at once. We help operators build the systems, KPIs, and processes that keep farms performing at their peak.
From crop performance to cost control, we identify the management gaps holding your operation back and help you close them with practical systems.
We help you define the right metrics for your operation — yield per m², energy per kg, crop loss rate, labor efficiency — and set up systems to track them consistently.
Using data from 350+ global projects, we compare your performance against industry standards and identify where you're underperforming relative to best-in-class operations.
We document your operational workflows — seeding, transplanting, harvesting, sanitation — into clear SOPs that reduce variability and enable consistent quality.
Labor is typically your largest variable cost. We review team roles, scheduling, and productivity benchmarks to help you operate efficiently without sacrificing quality.
We analyze your unit economics — COGS, margins, pricing, and overhead allocation — and identify levers that improve profitability without requiring capital investment.
When you're ready to expand, we help you decide what to replicate, what to improve, and how to scale operations without introducing the risks that derail most expansions.
Good management starts with the right data. These are the performance indicators we help CEA operators monitor and improve.
Track harvest output relative to your growing footprint and benchmark against crop-specific industry averages.
Monitor energy intensity relative to production output — one of the highest leverage points for CEA profitability.
Understand where labor time goes, identify inefficiencies, and improve scheduling against production output targets.
Break down your true cost per kg — seeds, nutrients, energy, packaging, labor — and model the path to your margin targets.
Identify the sources of crop loss — pest pressure, environmental variance, handling — and set targets to reduce waste systematically.
Measure weight, grade, and quality uniformity across cycles — a key driver of retail and wholesale customer retention.
A focused, practical process built for operating farms — not theoretical frameworks.
We review your current operations, data, SOPs, team structure, and financials to establish a complete picture of where you stand.
We benchmark your performance against industry data and identify the specific gaps with the highest impact on profitability and consistency.
You receive a clear, prioritized action plan — not a generic report. Every recommendation is grounded in your specific operation, crop mix, and goals.
We can stay engaged as you implement — advising your team, refining KPI dashboards, and tracking progress against targets over time.
Management consulting is designed for facilities that are operating — or nearly there — and want to perform better.
Facilities already in production that want to understand their performance gaps, reduce costs, and improve consistency at scale.
Portfolio companies under pressure to hit KPI targets and demonstrate a credible path to profitability to their board or investment partners.
Businesses preparing to open a second or third facility who need to systematize what works before replicating it at a larger scale.
Tell us about your facility and what you're working on. We'll scope a focused engagement to help you get there.
