Cersosimo — Decision Science & Engineering
The Method

The Behavioral Revenue System.

The Behavioral Revenue System is the firm-level installation of the operating spine — Decision Science (the universal read), Temporal Predisposition Mapping (the individualized read), and Thought Engineering (the move). One named methodology. Three tiers of engagement. The IP underneath is two decades of applied work plus a book series — Molecular Influence today, Elemental Influence next — on the psychology of how people actually decide.

Thesis

Bottom line moves when influence is built into the system, not bolted on top.

Every business has a small number of moments where revenue is actually decided. A pricing conversation. A first call. A renewal email. A partner meeting. A pitch room. The people in those moments are operating on psychology, whether anyone wrote it down or not.

Most firms either teach the principles — books, frameworks, off-the-shelf methodologies — or run trainings on top of an existing process that nobody redesigned. We do the harder middle: we operationalize behavioral science inside the system itself. The conversation, the offer, the cadence, the page, the follow-up, the founder’s public posture — engineered so that the psychology is doing the work whether the operator is in the room or not.

The Discipline

Four named disciplines. One operating system.

Three disciplines form the operating spine: Decision Science (the universal read), Temporal Predisposition Mapping (the individualized read), Thought Engineering (the move). The Behavioral Revenue System is the fourth — the methodology by which the spine gets installed inside a practice.

Discipline 01 · The Universal Read
Decision Science
The pre-conscious window

The discipline of operating in the seconds before the conscious mind knows it has decided. Anchored in forty years of cognitive neuroscience — Libet (1983), Soon-Brass-Heinze (2008), Bargh, Kahneman. Universal patterns; not person-specific.

Discipline 02 · The Individualized Read
Temporal Predisposition Mapping
TPM · produces PPI

The named Cersosimo & Associates discipline. The study of how temperament correlates with timing-based inputs — and the applied act of producing a working hypothesis on the four-element framework (Fire / Air / Water / Earth) before the conversation begins. Grounded in the 2,500-year typology lineage from Empedocles through Galen, Jung, and Marston (DISC), and in modern Big Five personality science. You arrive at Pre-Psychological Intelligence (PPI) by performing TPM.

Discipline 03 · The Move
Thought Engineering
The designable fork

The design discipline that builds the conditions around each psychological fork so the subconscious chooses the engineered path. Not manipulation. Engineering. The third discipline in the operating spine.

Three disciplines form the operating spine. Decision Science reads what every subconscious is about to decide. Temporal Predisposition Mapping reads the specific person across the table. Thought Engineering designs the conditions around the fork so the subconscious lands where the system was built for. Reading without engineering is observation. Engineering without reading is guesswork. We do all three, and we make the seam invisible to the buyer.

The Behavioral Revenue System is the fourth named discipline — the methodology by which the operating spine (Decision Science + TPM + Thought Engineering) gets installed inside a practice as a repeatable system. Three tiers, listed below.

Read the type. See the fork. Engineer the path. Install the system. Repeat at scale across every point where revenue is actually decided.

The Pillars

Four things every engagement is built on.

Every conversation we have, every artifact we ship, every system we redesign is anchored in these four. Drop any one and we are not doing the work.

01
Behavioral evidence

Every recommendation is rooted in established science. The Decision Science layer rests on Libet (1983), Soon-Brass-Heinze (2008), Bargh, and Kahneman. The Temporal Predisposition Mapping layer rests on the 2,500-year typology lineage — Empedocles, Galen, Jung, Marston (DISC) — and modern Big Five personality science. Pop-coaching mottos are not the input. We can show you the source on anything we propose.

02
Operationalized systems

We do not deliver a deck. We rebuild the actual conversation, page, cadence, offer, or sequence so the psychology is encoded in the system itself and runs whether or not anyone is paying attention.

03
Founder authority

Trust transfers from a person before it transfers from a brand. The founder is rebuilt as the legible authority in the niche — positioning, voice, public presence — so the system has the credibility to convert.

04
Operator language

We speak in revenue, conversion, retention, EBITDA — not in academic citations or coaching slogans. Partners and founders hear themselves in the work and stay accountable to outcomes.

The Engagements

Three tiers. Each one feeds the next.

We engage at the scale that matches what you are building. Founders run the front door. Practices run the flagship. Multi-partner firms run the transformation. Each tier is its own complete engagement — there is no upsell ladder.

Front Door
Authority Sprint
Founder-led B2B CEO, $1M–$20M
$30K–$60K60–90 days

The founder, positioned as the trusted authority in a defined niche, with a working influence-driven sales conversation that installs the operating spine — Decision Science and Temporal Predisposition Mapping — into the founder's own day-to-day.

Includes
  • ·Niche and positioning lock
  • ·Founder voice and public-posture system
  • ·Decision Science + TPM read trained on the founder's actual sales conversation
  • ·First case story shaped for publication
Flagship
Behavioral Revenue System
RIA / professional practice ($250M–$1B AUM)
$60K–$120K90–120 days

The firm-level installation of the operating spine — Decision Science, Temporal Predisposition Mapping, and Thought Engineering — built into acquisition, conversion, and retention. Measurable lift in one or more revenue points.

Includes
  • ·Diagnostic on the firm's actual revenue points
  • ·Decision Science + TPM training across the partner team
  • ·Thought Engineering redesign of discovery, fee, and renewal conversations
  • ·Retention triggers built into client experience
  • ·Partner authority layer published
Transformation
Firm Operating System
Multi-partner firm rollout
$150K–$250K+6–12 months

Firm-wide installation of Decision Science, TPM, and Thought Engineering as named, repeatable disciplines — plus partner authority infrastructure and internal capability transfer so the firm can run the system after we are gone.

Includes
  • ·Everything in the flagship, multiplied across partners
  • ·Partner-by-partner authority build
  • ·Internal team capability transfer on Decision Science + TPM
  • ·Operating cadence and review system
  • ·Roadmap for the second-year compound
Pricing floor on any single engagement is $25K. Below that we are priced as coaches, not operators — and lose the very buyers we are built for.
How It Works

What an engagement actually looks like.

Same four-step shape, scaled to the tier. No black box, no jargon, no thirty-page deliverables that sit on a shelf.

Step 01
Diagnose the revenue points

Forty-five minutes mapping where in your business the bottom line is actually being decided. We will name two or three high-leverage moments and the psychology that is or is not operating in them.

Step 02
Design the system

We rebuild the moment itself — the conversation, the page, the offer, the cadence — with the behavioral evidence baked in. You see the redesigned artifact, not a slide about the redesigned artifact.

Step 03
Install and observe

The redesigned system gets installed in your real business. We observe in real conditions and adjust against measured response, not against opinion.

Step 04
Transfer and compound

Your team learns to run the system. We hand off, stay available, and the engagement closes with a clear roadmap for the second-year compound.

The IP

The book series under the method.

Every model, framework, and language pattern we use inside engagements is part of an ongoing body of work being published as a book series. The books are the public record of the IP we operationalize inside client systems.

What We Don't Do

The clearer half of any positioning.

Not us
Sales training rooms.

We do not put reps through a two-day workshop. Training events without system redesign rarely change a number.

Not us
Personal brand only.

We do not build a founder's personal brand without rebuilding the revenue system underneath it. A famous founder with a broken funnel is a worse problem, not a better one.

Not us
Academic research papers.

We do not deliver white papers, pilot programs, or randomized controlled trials. The evidence informs the work; the deliverable is the working system.

Not us
Mass-market coaching programs.

No memberships, no $999 courses, no 1,000-person cohorts. The work is custom inside specific businesses.

Next

If the method fits what you are building.

We do a short, honest first conversation. If your situation is a fit, we tell you which tier and walk you through scope. If it is not, we say so — and where appropriate, point you somewhere better suited.
