The consultancy.
Four practices, kept deliberately small and senior. Engagements have a defined question, a defined end, and work you can act on.
Market intelligence
The picture before the decision: markets sized, competitors tracked, partners vetted, and opportunities examined before the signature — research you can put your name under.
Innovation
New products, new models, new revenue — inside companies that already run. We frame the opportunity, test it against evidence, and build the version that survives contact with the market.
Applied AI
Where AI actually earns its keep in your operation. Strategy, tool selection, and working deployments — measured by hours saved and decisions improved, not demos.
Sustainability
Sustainability treated as an operating question, not a brochure. Strategy, measurement, and reporting that stand up to scrutiny — and efficiencies that pay for themselves.
Intelligence brief
Two to three weeks on one decision question: a market, a competitor, a partner, a deal. Fixed fee, a defined end, and a decision you can defend.
The brief fee is credited in full against a mandate signed within 90 days.
Diagnostic sprint
Two to four weeks on one question: what's true, what matters, what to do. Ends in a working session, not a binder.
Defined programme
A scoped mandate with milestones and an end date. We stay until the change holds — then we leave.
A continuous form exists: the intelligence retainer, with monthly monitoring, briefings, and decision support.
How we stand behind the work.
- Sources are graded. Each material claim carries a grade for the reliability of its source and the credibility of the information. Grades are shown, not implied.
- Estimates are marked. Anything not verified from a primary source is labelled as an estimate or an inference, with the basis stated.
- A named senior verified it. The person who verified the material claims is named on the page, with the date.
- What we did not verify is listed. Open items, low-confidence points, and the questions we would ask next are stated plainly.
- Reversal triggers are explicit. Every recommendation states what evidence would change it.
- No invented numbers, no invented clients. If the data does not exist, we say so and show the method instead.
- Corrections are disclosed. If we find an error after delivery, we tell you promptly and correct the record.
Decisions are only as good as the evidence under them. This is how you check ours.
Bring us the problem that doesn't fit anywhere else.
