Service formats

Three ways to work with us

Defined formats with defined outcomes, not an open-ended invitation to pick our brain.

01

Diagnostic session

A focused 60-minute session for a clearly defined problem: a rate you have been offered, a route that is not working, a decision you need to make this week.

60 minutes · video call · preparation questions in advance

02

Business or contract review

A structured review of a proposed contract, operational model or growth decision, with a written assessment of viability, risks and recommendations.

Structured review · written output · follow-up session

03

Ongoing advisory

Regular support for businesses that need experienced external challenge and guidance, with a standing session and access between sessions.

Monthly cadence · agreed scope · priority access

Advisory sessions are scoped according to the nature and complexity of the issue. Every booking begins with a request; scope, timing and fee are confirmed before anything is charged.

How booking works

A short diagnostic before every session

The diagnostic form matters. It means session time is spent on your problem, not on reconstructing basic context.

Tell us the type of session you need and the problem you want to work on. We will confirm scope, timing and any preparation before anything is charged.

The clearer this is, the more useful the session will be. Include numbers where you have them.
