01The Gap

## 88% use AI. *Two-thirds are stuck in pilot mode.*

McKinsey · State of AI

The gap is not technology. It is strategic clarity about what to build and why. High-performing organizations are 3.6× more likely to pursue transformative change instead of incremental pilots.

That is the work we do. No decks that gather dust. No frameworks for framework’s sake. A decision-making system your whole room can use, and keep using after we leave.

02What We Deliver

## Four levers. *Zero filler.*

   01

### Strategic positioning

Where you win, whom you serve, and why you, sharpened until the market can repeat it back to you.

 02

### Product-market alignment

What to build next, what to stop building, and the evidence for both.

 03

### Operational architecture

The systems, roles, and automation that let the strategy execute itself.

 04

### Growth systems

Repeatable acquisition and expansion loops: measured, owned, and yours.

> A strategy deck you read once is a cost. A decision-making system your team uses every week is an asset. We only build the second kind.

03How It Works

## Three phases. *No mystery.*

    01Weeks 1–2

### Diagnose

- Deep immersion in your business, market, and numbers
- Stakeholder interviews across the org, not just the exec team
- The real constraint named, in writing

   02Weeks 3–6

### Architect

- Strategy built as a decision-making system, not a document
- Positioning, roadmap, and operating cadence that reinforce each other
- Tested against the scenarios that scare you

   03Months 2–6

### Embed

- We stay for execution: monthly strategy sessions, async advisory
- Your team runs the system; we sharpen it
- Success measured in decisions shipped, not slides delivered

Straight Answers

## Everything scoped *before you sign.*

The four questions every engagement starts with.

   Scope Stage Timeline Price

Engagements are scoped by impact, not time. We name the decision the work must unlock, then size the engagement to unlock it. Nothing padded, nothing vague.

- Impact-scoped, not hourly
- Deliverables named up front
- No open-ended retainers

Typically Series A through growth stage: teams doing $2M–$50M who have traction and need clarity about what to do with it.

- Series A → growth
- $2M–$50M revenue
- Founder or exec sponsor

The diagnostic takes two weeks. Full engagements run three to six months, with the system in your hands, and working, well before the end.

- 2-week diagnostic
- 3–6 month engagements
- Value lands early

The two-week diagnostic starts at $25K and stands on its own: you keep the findings either way. Full engagements are scoped from what the diagnostic finds.

- Diagnostic from $25K
- Fixed, known pricing
- Keep everything we produce
