Why people choose us
The details, in numbers
Typical engagement
On every project
Agreed up front
Services
Four engagements that move the needle
Each one is scoped in a single session and priced before we start.
How we work
The people who pitch are the people who deliver.
We keep the firm small on purpose. Every engagement is run by a partner who stays on the project from the first scoping call to the final presentation, supported by a single analyst.
- A partner on every working session
- Fixed fee agreed before the engagement starts
- Recommendations written for the people who must act on them
- An implementation checklist with every report
Engagement
How a project runs
A predictable shape, whatever the subject matter.
Scoping session
Ninety minutes to define the question, the data and the deliverable.
Written proposal
Scope, timeline, fixed fee and named team — usually within three days.
Discovery & analysis
Interviews, data pulls and workshops, with a checkpoint every fortnight.
Recommendations & handover
A board-ready report plus an implementation checklist your team owns.
Testimonials
In their words
“We got the analysis in six weeks, and more usefully a checklist that somebody could actually execute.”
Margin up four points
Peter Lindqvist
CEO, industrial services
“The partner who scoped the work sat in every workshop. I have never seen that from a firm this size.”
Two engagements, same partner
Amara Diallo
Founder, distribution business
“They killed one of our initiatives during the scoping call rather than sell us a project around it.”
Fixed fee, no overrun

CFO
