Strategy & Consulting

Advice that comes with someone to help do it

Recommendations are cheap. What most growing companies need is a clear diagnosis and someone who stays through the difficult middle of implementing it.

Overview

Companies between roughly $5M and $100M in revenue face a specific set of problems: the founder's instincts no longer scale, systems built for a smaller company are straining, growth is slowing without an obvious cause, and unit economics that worked at one size are quietly deteriorating at another.

We work these problems with analysis rather than frameworks. What do the numbers actually say about where margin goes, which customers are profitable, where the funnel loses value, and which costs scale with revenue versus with headcount? That analysis usually contradicts at least one strongly held internal belief, which is the point.

We stay through implementation. Consulting that ends at the recommendation transfers the hardest part back to the client at exactly the moment specialist help matters most, which is why so many engagements produce a good analysis and no change.

Business benefits

What business consulting changes for you

The reasons this work earns its budget, stated as outcomes rather than features.

Diagnosis before prescription

Data analysis, customer research and process review to find the actual constraint rather than the most visible symptom.

Unit economics made clear

Profitability by customer, product and channel — which frequently reveals that a meaningful share of revenue loses money.

Go-to-market as a system

Positioning, pricing, channel mix and sales process examined together, since a weakness in one shows up as a problem in another.

Operating model for the next size

Structure, roles, decision rights and process designed for the company you are becoming rather than the one you were.

Technology in scope

Because most operating constraints eventually become software problems, and we can build the solution rather than recommending someone who might.

Implementation support

We stay through execution, which is where recommendations either become results or quietly do not.

Problems solved

If any of this sounds familiar

These are the situations clients describe in the first conversation, and what we do about each.

    Revenue is growing but margin is falling.

    Unit economics analysis by segment and channel to find where margin leaks, then pricing, mix or cost structure changes to address it.

    Growth has stalled and nobody agrees why.

    Funnel analysis, win-loss research and market assessment to locate the actual constraint rather than continuing to argue about it.

    The founder is the bottleneck for every decision.

    Operating model work — decision rights, delegation, hiring plan and the systems that make it safe to let go.

    We are busy and not profitable.

    Profitability analysis by customer and project, which typically shows a minority of work generating the majority of margin and a tail that costs money.

Questions

Business Consulting: common questions

The questions we are asked most about business consulting, answered directly.

Most engagements are with companies between $5M and $100M in revenue. Below that the issues are usually more tactical; above it, larger firms with deeper industry specialization often serve better.
