Commercial cultivation support
for facilities that need better
performance, consistency, and execution.
Optima Consulting helps operators diagnose the real constraint, build a better operating system around it, and improve outcomes from tissue culture to harvest, powered by GP-10 and the Rule of 10s.
This is not generic advisory work. It is hands-on commercial cultivation support from people who have managed facilities, built protocols, trained teams, and worked through the operational problems that actually hold performance back, including the climate gradients, equipment tradeoffs, and controls realities conventional CEA facilities create in the real world.
Your best grower knows things
your systems don't.
Most commercial grows run on undocumented institutional knowledge. One head grower who knows the quirks of Room 3. One cultivation director who's memorized 40 recipes that aren't written down anywhere.
When they leave, so does your consistency. Our consulting work converts institutional knowledge into documented systems and fills gaps with evidence-based cultivation protocols grounded in real-world production data.
What makes that work different is our direct understanding of how microclimates are actually created across indoor, greenhouse, and vertical deployments, and how equipment selection, layout, and control strategy create tradeoffs in performance and cost. We combine what we have measured and mapped in real facilities with 3D environmental mapping and simulation tools like ANSYS so operators can make smarter budget decisions, validate layouts, and avoid expensive trial-and-error fixes after the room is already built and planted.
Different operating problems need different support.
Some facilities need a fast diagnostic. Some need vendor clarity. Some need ongoing cultivation support and implementation help. We scope around the actual operating gap, not a canned consulting package.
Site Evaluations
A focused operational audit of your facility covering environmental systems, cultivation protocols, team workflows, and data quality. We identify the highest-leverage constraints and give you a prioritized path forward.
- Full environmental systems audit
- Cultivation protocol review
- Top 5 constraint identification
- Prioritized ROI improvement plan
Supplier Audits
We evaluate your current suppliers and system choices against what the facility actually needs. No kickbacks. No affiliate deals. Just an honest assessment of where you are overpaying, underspecified, or carrying the wrong equipment for the job.
- Current vendor performance scorecard
- Competitor capability comparison
- Switch cost analysis
- Recommended vendor shortlist
Cultivation Support
Ongoing cultivation support for teams that need better execution, clearer protocols, tighter steering, and a more consistent operating rhythm. We help translate grower knowledge into systems your team can repeat.
- Stage-by-stage cultivation protocols
- Weekly data review cadence
- Total Crop SteeringTM implementation
- Harvest forecasting + post-harvest analysis
Manufacturing Support
Extraction, processing, and post-harvest support for operators who need better throughput, consistency, and compliance from the dry room forward. We help close the loop from cultivation to finished product.
- Processing workflow audit
- Throughput optimization
- Compliance documentation support
- QA protocol development
This isn't a best-case number. It's a repeatable, sustainable target that Optima clients achieve when protocols, environment, and execution are aligned.
The number is a system outcome,
not a genetic lottery.
Most variation in commercial yields isn't genetic or strain-driven. It's systems-driven. Environmental drift. Inconsistent irrigation timing. VPD targets that look right on paper but miss at canopy level.
Optima engagements systematically address every variable that stands between your current average and the 2.5-3.2 target, then build the protocols and monitoring systems to hold it there.
That work is grounded in GP-10 and the Rule of 10s, giving the consulting team a clearer framework for diagnosing what is off, prioritizing what to fix first, and helping operators build a more repeatable production system over time.

We work alongside your team.
Not above it.
Consulting that works doesn't look like an external expert arriving with a report. It looks like an experienced operator spending time in your facility, alongside your people, working through specific challenges with the specificity those challenges deserve.
Engagements start with a discovery call focused on your operation. From there, we scope what is needed: a one-day site visit, a multi-week embedded engagement, or ongoing support for a specific growth challenge. When the fit is right, GP-10 gives the work a stronger benchmark and a more structured path from diagnosis to improvement.
How support gets scoped.
Some facilities need a fast diagnostic. Others need embedded implementation support. We scope around the operational gap, the team, and the speed required.
Initial On-Site Assessment
Fast site walk, systems review, and a clear read on the biggest operational constraints.
Full Operational Assessment
Deeper GAP / cGMP-style evaluation of environment, workflows, documentation, and execution quality.
On-Site Implementation
Embedded support for training, protocol rollout, operational change management, and measurable improvement.
Remote Implementation
Structured remote support for teams that need reviews, SOPs, steering feedback, and accountability.
What Optima engagements actually cover.
The old consulting model was advice only. Optima is built to close the loop between recommendations, implementation, monitoring, and repeatable execution.
That means the work can include consulting, design, training, sensing, batch systems, automation guidance, and GP-10-informed benchmarking support, depending on what the facility actually needs.
It can also include microclimate diagnosis, equipment-layout validation, simulation-informed recommendations, and controls guidance rooted in how different classes of equipment actually behave in the field. It is significantly cheaper to test and validate a system before a trench is cut or concrete is poured than to solve the same problem after the room is already live.
Operators who've been there.
Grownetics consultants include licensed master growers, controls engineers, facility designers, and compliance specialists with hands-on track records across boutique craft operations and large-scale multi-site operators. We've built and operated the facilities we now help you optimize.
Start with the operating problem that matters most.
If your facility is struggling with consistency, yield, execution, vendor fit, or post-harvest throughput, start there. The best first conversation is the one that gets specific about what is not working and what better should look like.
