A 60-minute working call on one specific decision.
A single ninety-minute working session on the one problem that matters most right now, followed by a written memo and a thirty-day window to ask follow-ups.
When this engagement makes sense
A specific decision is in front of you in the next two weeks.
You have advisors who agree with you and you want one who will tell you when you are wrong.
You want a senior read before starting a larger engagement.
A board meeting is coming and the position you are about to take needs pressure-testing.
You are weighing a hire, a vendor, a deal, or a platform choice and the cost of getting it wrong is meaningful.
This is a working session, not a sales call. You bring a live decision: a pricing model, a go-to-market choice, a technology bet, a hire, a deal. I bring two decades of pattern-matching and a willingness to disagree with you.
The deliverables
90-minute working session
Live, video, on the calendar within ten days. Pre-read sent in advance. The session is structured around the decision, not around an agenda.
Written memo
Within 48 hours: the recommendation, the reasoning, and the trade-offs we tested in the room.
30-day follow-up window
Email or Slack questions for thirty days after the session. Same-business-day response.
A good fit if
- Founders and CEOs facing one decision that matters.
- Operating partners weighing a portco call before the next board meeting.
- Independent sponsors deciding whether to commit to a deal.
- Senior operators who want a second opinion before going to their board.
Probably not if
- —People looking for free strategy.
- —Engagements that should actually be a Tech DD or a Fractional Retainer.
