FAQ
The questions CEOs ask me first
Straight answers on how the work runs, what it costs, and what it asks of your team. If your question isn’t here, book a call and ask me directly.
Friction Diagnostics
Finding what’s broken, in pounds
How is this different from a Bain or McKinsey job?
The big firms charge millions for a deck over six to nine months. This runs in two to eight weeks for a fixed fee. You get a number for your investors, not a disappearing deck. And you get me, not a pool of juniors.
Is this a fixed fee, or does it turn into a retainer?
Fixed fee, fixed scope, clear endpoint. You see your tier and cost before you sign. Ongoing help later is a separate choice.
Will this cause a political mess in my team?
No. I ban blame. How I gather answers bends to your culture: online, private interviews, or a group session. Nobody gets cornered.
What if my check comes back green?
Then keep doing what you’re doing. I confirm it on your free call. The paid work only runs on a red result.
What does my team have to do?
For the check, nothing. For the full work, your leaders answer 16 questions or sit interviews, plus a quick note on your tech. No decks to build.
Executive Clarity Sprint™
Getting your time and authority back
Is this a one-off bill, or does it turn into a retainer?
One-off. Fixed scope, clear endpoint, fee agreed before you sign. It does not roll into a retainer. Ongoing help later is a separate choice.
Will this cause political fallout in my boardroom?
No. Nobody gets blamed. I treat the friction as a broken structure, not a performance review. I gather what I need in whatever way fits your culture.
How long does it actually take?
Days, not months. The first fixes land within the first week.
Do I have to do the free check first?
No. If you already know what’s wrong, book the call and skip it.
What do I walk out with?
A cleared diary, the words for the boardroom, and a toolkit you keep and reuse.
Capability Probing Protocol™
Keeping it from happening again
Is this just another SaaS dashboard?
No. You’re not buying software. You’re buying a method and my help building it. Your own team wires it into tools you already run. No subscription, no lock-in. You own it.
Will all those measures bury my team in red tape?
No. You never run all of them. We pick the few that matter for your gaps and the data you hold. Built to speed work up, not slow it down.
What if I stop the work?
Nothing to unplug. It lives in tools you already own. The system stays with you, working, after I leave.
Do my people have to learn a new system?
No. They read four numbers on the screen they already use. The hard part runs underneath, where they never touch it.
Who does the integration?
I give the method and the maths. Your own tech team wires it in. You keep full control.
