Say the useful thing
If the plan will not work, we say so. Advice that avoids the awkward conclusion is not worth paying for.
About us
A small consultancy, deliberately.
We take on a limited number of institutions at a time, and the people you meet in the first conversation are the people who do the work.
What we believe
Three things we hold to.
Show the working
Every recommendation comes with the evidence behind it, so your team can challenge it and still use it after we have gone.
Finish what we start
A plan nobody implements is a cost. We scope the first term alongside the recommendation.
Working together
What an engagement looks like.
What you can expect
- A named senior lead from first call to handover.
- An agreed scope and a fixed fee, settled before we start.
- Weekly check-ins, and early warning when something changes.
- Findings shared as we go, not held back for a final presentation.
What we won’t do
- Staff the work with people you have never met.
- Bill by the hour against an open-ended scope.
- Recommend a change we would not help you deliver.
- Take on work where we are not the right firm.
Want to know if we are a fit?
A short call is usually enough to tell. If we are not the right firm, we will say so.
