Sample engagements and fees for this demo.

Diagnose, decide, plan, review

  1. Diagnose

    We listen to the people who run the work, and read the numbers behind it.

  2. Decide

    We lay out the options with their trade-offs, and you choose.

  3. Plan

    Who does what, by when, and how you will know it is working.

  4. Review

    We check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, so the plan doesn't stall.

A typical first month

  1. Interviews with the founder and team leads, and a look at the numbers.

  2. A findings workshop: what we saw, and what it means.

  3. Options and trade-offs, discussed with the leadership.

  4. The plan, the owners of each action, and the first review date.

How we work

Principles we keep

  • Fixed scope, fixed fee

    You know what you get and what it costs before we start.

  • Your data stays yours

    We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything.

  • No jargon

    Every deliverable is written so your whole team can use it.

  • Honest about fit

    If we aren't the right people for the problem, we say so.
