Expect a focused diagnosis, a clear position and message, the few critical assets that must hit standard, and a practical roadmap. The work should reduce decisions, not create noise.

What this is (and isn’t)

A consultancy engagement is an expert partnership built to make high‑stakes decisions easier. It is not a volume content service or “make it pretty” exercise. You’ll see how choices are made, why they’re right for your context, and what to ship next.

How the work runs

  • Learn: short intake + working session to surface signals, friction, and leverage.

  • Think: direction lock, message frames, examples of “good,” acceptance criteria.

  • Execute: blueprint and a 90–120‑day plan with owners and review gates.

Roles and approvals

  • Founder sets standards and approves direction; we do the heavy lifting.

  • Your leads join key checkpoints; approvals are short with clear criteria.

  • A single Command Centre holds versions, decisions, and deadlines.

Deliverables you leave with

  • Direction deck (position, POV, message pillars) and example placements.

  • Acceptance criteria for website, deck, and proposal language.

  • 90–120‑day roadmap with priorities, owners, and decision gates.

Timelines you can expect

  • Diagnostic within a week; plan same or next day.

  • Sprints run 10–21 days; larger programs 3–8 weeks depending on scope.

Quality at speed

  • Decision gates: direction lock → message lock → asset acceptance.

  • Examples of “good” so your team can implement without guesswork.

  • Tight scopes to protect momentum and depth.

Signs it’s working

  • Fewer price debates; approvals move faster.

  • Your team reuses the same language and proof without prompts.

  • Pipeline quality improves because “who we’re for” is legible.
