Nsight Performance Group review: 5.5 months of non-delivery, 10× overbilling, and refusal to justify charges – do not use

I signed a contract with Nsight Performance Group (Steven Gehrke as primary contact) in March 2025 for business consulting, custom website/CRM development, and marketing services at $4,000 USD per month plus add-ons. Total paid: approximately $50,000 CAD.
After 5.5 months the only thing delivered was a single static page built on a GoHighLevel template with:

broken video embeds,
CTAs that linked to “#” placeholders,
empty stats (“0 contractors”),
no lead routing,
no admin dashboard,
no contractor vetting or approval system,
repeated bugs.

Steven Gehrke repeatedly claimed on recorded calls the site was 80% done and custom-coded. An independent developer quoted full replication in 3 days for ~$2,000 USD.
They called this completely non-functional site a “beta” launch despite it meeting the textbook definition of an alpha (no core functionality). The site was never submitted for Google indexing and remained unindexed for almost two months after their “launch”.
No written growth plan, milestones, or measurable weekly targets were ever provided despite repeated requests over several months.
Monthly consulting charges yielded minimal deliverables beyond a business plan and pitch deck created in less than a week, with weekly meetings reviewing task lists without deadlines.
They billed for bug-fix work as additional costs, initially overcharged on a mid-month SEO add-on that was only partially prorated after objection, and never provided signed change orders for scope or fees.
Marketing (social media/SEO) was executed while the site was non-functional.
I disclosed a proprietary contractor-specific AI tool idea under a signed NDA. Steven Gehrke then suggested “collaborating” on it, implying shared ownership — a breach of the NDA’s non-use clause.
When asked for a detailed breakdown of consulting fees and website hours, they refused to quantify the consulting charges and deflected.
They refused to justify billing or website work, stonewalled requests, and locked me out of Slack despite commitments to ongoing work.
I also requested a meeting to review outstanding items; Steven Gehrke titled the calendar invite “Consulting” despite the purpose being to address cure items.
Nsight Performance Group is a new company. Steven Gehrke has a background in car sales.
Everything stated above is documented in the signed contract, signed NDA, invoices, Slack messages, recorded call notes, calendar invites, and independent third-party quotes and assessments.
Potential clients should carefully research any business associated with Steven Gehrke before engaging.
