Reading Time:
6 minutes
Table of Contents
Start with the Fit Assessment if you want a 24‑hour written recommendation on the best path. Choose the Diagnostic when you want founder‑level working time that maps decisions now and produces a 90‑day plan.
What each one is
Fit Assessment: a short form plus a quick review of your public footprint and goals. We reply in 24 hours with a best‑fit path and next steps.
Diagnostic: a 90‑minute working session that pinpoints what’s in the way, defines decision rules, and outputs a 90‑day roadmap.
When Fit Assessment is better
You’re evaluating options and want direction before committing calendar time.
You need to sanity‑check timing, scope, and likely investment.
You want to confirm that your challenge is a match for our lane.
When Diagnostic is better
You’re ready to act and want a concrete plan to run now.
Sales cycles are dragging or pricing debates keep resurfacing.
You’re deciding on a reposition, new segment, or price move and want to de‑risk it.
What you get (at a glance)
Fit Assessment: written path, readiness notes, recommended first moves, links to the right page or program.
Diagnostic: Clarity Map, 90‑day roadmap (priorities, owners, acceptance criteria), message frames and examples.
Timelines
Fit Assessment: 24‑hour reply.
Diagnostic: session within a week, plan same or next day.
Common mistakes to avoid
Booking a program without a Diagnostic. All solutions start with a Diagnostic so recommendations are grounded in context.
Treating Fit as a “mini diagnostic.” Fit exists to route you; the Diagnostic exists to make decisions.
