Problem framing, a market and competitive read, a tested hypothesis, and a sized opportunity, in a short, board-readable memo. One to two weeks. Priced to the decision, not the hour.
A strategic diagnostic is the fast, low-commitment way to get a credible outside view on a decision before you commit to anything larger. It has five parts, delivered as one short, board-readable memo.
The real question, sharply bounded. We skip the version of the problem that's easiest to answer and work on the one actually in front of you.
The outside view: market forces, rivals, and where the profit pools sit. We ground it in the record, not in assumption.
Candidate answers written answer-first and kept MECE, then tested against the evidence. We don't hand you a single guess presented as a conclusion.
The value at stake, quantified. You get a number you can defend in the room, with a range narrow enough to mean something.
A short, board-readable memo with the answer at the top and the reasoning underneath. You can act on it the day you get it.
If the diagnostic shows you don't need to go further, we'll say so. This engagement exists to answer that question too.
A diagnostic moves fast because an AI agent team does the legwork: research, synthesis, and first-pass modeling. The judgment stays senior. You see something real early, and you don't wait through two weeks of silence.
We pin down the real question, the constraints, and what a good answer needs to do for you.
An AI agent team does the legwork on the market, competitors, and profit pools. It moves fast, and the work is sourced.
We build, test, and narrow the hypothesis set, and we size the opportunity in real numbers.
A written point of view plus a live walkthrough, so you can push back on it in the room.
Most engagements start with a diagnostic because it answers the question that comes before every other question.
It costs a fraction of the money and time of a full engagement, and it has enough substance to change how you see the decision.
You see a working interim view before the final readout. The full diagnostic, memo and readout included, lands in one to two weeks.
The diagnostic answers whether a deeper Strategy Sprint is worth doing, before you spend real budget finding out.
If you don't need more after the diagnostic, we'll tell you. That answer is worth as much as the memo itself.
Tell us what's at stake and what's getting in the way. We'll tell you whether a diagnostic is the right first step, and what you'd walk away with.
