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

This work begins with commitment

This diagnostic is designed for firms ready to establish clarity before acting.

If you're looking for execution, recommendations, or exploratory conversations, this will not be a fit.

What you receive

Revenue Leak Map

A visual map of where revenue, time, or opportunity is quietly escaping — often in places you've normalized.

Diagnostic Summary

Written analysis identifying the primary constraint and distinguishing symptoms from structural issues.

Decision Brief

Clear recommendation on what to do, what not to do, and what to defer — with reasoning you can defend internally.

If these outputs are what you need

If a Revenue Leak Map, Diagnostic Summary, and Decision Brief would materially improve your next decision, this diagnostic is the correct starting point.

Scope, fee, and boundaries

Fee

$5,000

Scope

Fixed

Timeline

1–2 weeks

Implementation

Not included

This engagement ends with written decision clarity.

This diagnostic exists to prevent high-confidence decisions made in the wrong order — where the cost is structural, not just financial.

What this fee covers

Independent judgment focused on sequencing — not execution. The value is not in producing ideas, plans, or recommendations. It's in identifying what must come first and what should not be touched yet before capital, time, or reputation are committed.

Requests are reviewed for scope alignment prior to invoicing.

Common questions

Is this a sales conversation?

No. This is a paid, fixed-scope diagnostic engagement. There are no exploratory calls.

Do you offer implementation or advisory services?

No. This work ends with written decision clarity.

What happens after I request the diagnostic?

Requests are reviewed for scope alignment. If aligned, you'll receive an invoice and private intake instructions.

What if we're not sure this is the right fit?

Review this page carefully. If the scope, deliverables, and boundaries align with what you need, proceed. If not, it's best not to.

Can we talk before deciding?

No. This page is designed to provide enough clarity to decide without a conversation.
