Our exclusive pilot program will be with five forward-thinking retail business owners who will receive our complete Revenue Discovery Session—absolutely free—to demonstrate the untapped profit potential hiding in plain sight.

The Revenue Discovery Session

A compressed version of revenue engine methodology, designed to uncover your three biggest revenue opportunities and provide one immediate, implementable solution that could increase your monthly revenue within 60 days.

Hour 1: The "Aha Moment"
We'll observe your space with fresh eyes and show you the missing patterns. Most owners say "I can't believe I never saw that" within the first 60 minutes.

Hour 2: The "What If" Session
We'll flip your assumptions and show you possibilities. This is where breakthrough thinking happens.

Hour 3: The "Show Me The Money" Reveal
We present your opportunities so you can see exactly how much additional revenue is sitting in your current space.

  • While competitors obsess over conversion funnels and click-through rates, your customers are walking through actual doors, touching real products, and making decisions in three-dimensional space.

    minute.studio engineers revenue growth by designing strategies that leverage what makes Toronto retailers unbeatable: being physically here, locally rooted, and genuinely human.

    • Observe hidden patterns and possibilities

    • Design breakthrough solutions

    • Engineer measurable competitive advantages

  • We don't just consult—we architect revenue systems.

    Phase 1: Revenue Archaeology (Week 1-2) Map your current customer journey, identify revenue leaks, surface hidden opportunities through abductive observation.

    Phase 2: Hypothesis Design (Week 3-4)

    Phase 3: Experience Engineering (Week 5-8) Implement physical changes, optimize customer flow, train team on new systems.

    Phase 4: Revenue Validation (Week 9-12) Measure results, iterate based on evidence, scale what works, eliminate what doesn't.
