About

The work is grounded in something most advisory firms can't claim.

Built by operators, not theorists.

Nick Lavery.

Nick is an active-duty Special Forces Chief Warrant Officer — and the first above-the-knee amputee in military history to return to sustained combat operations. That isn't a footnote. It's proof of what this work is built on: performing at the highest level when conditions are hardest.

In his bestselling book Objective Secure, he maps the frameworks that got him back to the fight. Precision Components exists to apply them — with discipline — inside organizations serious about performance.

02 — The evolutionFrom capability to firm

What it's become.

Precision Components began as a single capability. It's now a firm — with the structure, the team, and the operating model to deliver the work at scale.

That evolution was intentional. As Precision Components expanded across both Experiential and Advisory, the work became more complex, more integrated, and more deeply embedded with our partners. Delivering that level of impact requires more than individual expertise. It requires a team built around the work itself. Our internal team powers the firm, ensuring every engagement is thoughtfully designed, expertly executed, and delivered at the standard our partners expect.

The background is real. The work is what it produces.

If you're dealing with execution gaps that haven't responded to standard approaches, this is where the conversation begins.
