CTOx → AVC Sovereign Operator:
The Apex Velocity Catalysts War Room
The Apex Velocity Catalysts War Room
The post-graduate execution container for CTOx members ready to turn training into paid missions at $997/month.
From fCTO to Sovereign Operator
You've Already Made the Bet
You invested in CTOx and earned the identity, skills, and network of a fractional CTO. That foundation matters.
This Is the Next Room
The War Room is your post-grad layer—where training transforms into paid missions and sustainable revenue. Not a competitor. An evolution.
Today's Decision Point
We'll show you the War Room offer at $997/month or $9,997/year. You decide if this execution-focused container is your next logical step.
The CTOx Edge You Already Earned
Identity
You are a CTO. Not aspiring. Not someday. You've claimed the title and stepped into the role with confidence and clarity.
Skills
Offers, positioning, fractional playbook—the complete toolkit to operate as a technical leader. CTOx gave you the operational foundation.
Network
High-trust peers who understand the game. Lior's ecosystem built something special: operators who support operators without the guru theater.
Deep respect for what CTOx created. This isn't about replacing that foundation—it's about building the next floor on top of it.
De-Risk, Un-Clog, Scale…
The $3-5K Plateau
Side income that pays bills but doesn't build wealth. Good start, but watch the ceiling. You're worth more than project work.
One-Client Trap
Single $20-40K anchor client with massive concentration risk. One budget cut and your revenue evaporates overnight. No safety net.
"Build It and They Will Come"
Assets and content with zero distribution system. Marketing tools without operating rhythm. Motion without momentum or measurable outcomes.
No Execution Container
Training complete, but no structured environment to convert conversations into $20-50K retainers. The gap between knowing CTO and doing CEO.
CTOs Today. CEOs Tomorrow.
Tier One AI/CTO Special Operations
Special Forces, Not Regular Army
Fractional CTOs operate like special operations units—we don't sell hours or fill seats. We lead high-stakes missions with clear objectives and definitive outcomes.
We architect systems, derisk strategies, unclog and deliver transformation at scale in 90-day sprints. Precision over presence. Results over resumes.
Sovereign Operator Vision
The aspiration isn't permanent contractor status. It's sovereign operator—building multiple revenue streams, commanding premium fees, and choosing your missions.
Own your time. Control your destiny. Build equity in your own operations while serving clients at the highest level. What's your legacy?
How We Turn Conversations into Cash in 90 Days
The AVC Operating Spine
1
Apply
Client expresses interest. Initial conversation surfaces the problem space and strategic context.
2
Assess (FitScore)
Structured evaluation of strategic fit, technical readiness, and engagement viability. Clear go/no-go decision.
3
Align (Charter)
90-day plan with risks mapped, success criteria defined, and roles clarified. No surprises.
4
Activate (Delivery)
Execute 90-day sprint with TAC checkpoints at days 30/60/85. Ship outcomes, capture learnings, extend or exit.
This isn't theory. It's the operating system we run on every engagement—Validation Sprints and full Activations alike. Repeatable, measurable, profitable.
Where CTOx Fits in the Stack
One Ecosystem: Studio, CTOx, AVC, Shelf
01
Studio / CTOx
Education, qualification, identity, community. The foundation that creates great operators and validates their readiness for fractional leadership.
02
AVC War Room
Premium execution layer. Validation Sprints, 90-day Activations, live deal flow. Where training converts to revenue through structured operations.
03
Shelf Products
AI-SDLC, EXOCHAIN + BAILMENT.AI + AVC/OS as ARR moats. Productized services that scale beyond labor. Bring yours…
This is an endorsed value chain, not a competing program. CTOx feeds AVC. AVC validates operators. Shelf builds leverage. Each layer amplifies the others.
Demand Isn't the Problem. Hubs Are.
The Real Constraint: Hub-Grade Operators
We're generating more inbound demand than we can serve. The bottleneck isn't leads—it's operators qualified to run $500K minimum Activations with autonomy and precision.
Hub-grade CTOs are rare. Each one represents 3-9 months of development through our pipeline: Shadow to Co-Lead to Lead to Certified Hub Alpha Operator.
1
Shadow ($12K)
Observe and support on live engagements. Learn the operating system in real conditions.
2
Co-Lead ($10K)
Share leadership with a certified Hub. Execute major workstreams with oversight.
3
Lead (~30% share)
Run your own Activation with Hub supervision. Earn ~$150K on a $500K engagement.
4
Certified Hub
Autonomous operator. Lead multiple Activations. Mentor incoming Shadows.

What the War Room Is NOT
❌ Generic Info Course
Not another video library to consume passively. Every tool ties to live deals and real decisions you're making this week.
❌ CTOx Competitor
We require CTOx membership. This is the post-grad execution layer that relies on CTOx as the boot camp.
❌ Content for Content's Sake
No motivational speeches or theory dumps. If it doesn't directly impact your pipeline or positioning, it doesn't belong here.
✅ Operator Peer Room
A room where experienced CTOs pressure-test each other's strategies, share deal structures, and hold each other accountable to outcomes.
What You Actually Get as a CTOx Member
Outcomes in Your First 90 Days
Clarify Your Sovereign Thesis
Define your niche, ICP, and specific A-Team role. No more "I help startups with tech"—get razor-sharp on who you serve and how.
Re-Architect Your Offer
Move from $3-5K project gigs to $20-50K retainer structures. Change the conversation from hourly rates to strategic outcomes.
Push Real Pipeline
Take at least one live opportunity through FitScore → Charter → 90-day plan. Not hypothetical. Actual prospect conversations.
Live Call Feedback
Bring discovery calls, proposals, and deal structures to the room. Get operator-level critique before you send it to the prospect.
Shadow/Co-Lead Eligibility
Qualify for paid Shadow and Co-Lead roles on Sprints and Activations. Earn $10-12K while learning the operating system in combat.
Your First 90 Days in the War Room
Days 1-30: Foundation
Thesis development. Map your assets and pipeline. Run your first FitScore and get peer critique on positioning.
Outcome: Clear sovereign thesis and one qualified opportunity in motion. Certification is AI Governance.
Days 31-60: Activation
Test your offer. Launch one focused outbound or warm sequence live. Bring real conversations to the room for feedback. Driven to win or a loss to learn from.
Outcome: Offer tested in market with data on what resonates and what doesn't. Saddle time in grade.
Days 61-90: Conversion
Close or plug in. Either close your own $20-50K deal or step into a paid Shadow/Co-Lead role on a live engagement. A true win-or-win outcome.
Outcome: Revenue generated and clear path to next 90-day cycle. Outcome a full rung higher on the ladder.

90-day minimum commitment so we can actually move the needle. Cancel anytime after. One $20-50K client more than covers the investment. Do the math.
Why This Price Point
This is the CTOx-only founding rate. If and when we open to the broader market, pricing increases. Lock in now or pay more later.
Consider the math: close one $30K retainer and the War Room pays for itself for 30 months. We're betting you'll do 3-4X better than that.
Is the AVC War Room Your Next Unit?
✓ This Is For You If:
- Serious CTOx grad ready to scale beyond side-hustle income
- Aiming for 2+ $20-50K retainers in the next 12 months
- Willing to be measured on pipeline activity and outcomes
- Ready to bring real deals to the table for peer review
- Want operator peers who push you to execute, not cheerleaders
✗ Not For You If:
- Still in pure exploration mode—stay in CTOx until you're confidently serious
- Satisfied with $3-15K hustle and lack ambition for more
- Want more theory and not taking action—we're execution-focused
- Looking for a niche to follow rather than a peer unit to join
- Can't commit 2-20 hours/week to calls and working active plays
Be honest with yourself. The AVC War Room demands commitment. If you're not ready to execute, that's fine—but don't waste your money or our time.
