Fixed scope, paid diagnostic. No exploratory calls.

What This Is — and Isn't

This is

  • A fixed-scope diagnostic engagement
  • Structural constraint identification
  • Written decision clarity
  • Pre-investment due diligence on your own firm

This is not

  • Consulting or advisory services
  • Implementation or execution
  • Ongoing engagement or retainer
  • A sales conversation disguised as strategy

Optional follow-on support is discussed only if appropriate.
