Two weeks on one problem. See how we work before you decide anything.
You describe one operational issue. We read it carefully, write up our interpretation, and propose a focused two-week approach, at no charge. Then you decide whether it makes sense to continue.
Most businesses don't need another proposal. They need to see how an adviser actually thinks about their specific situation. This gives you that, without any commitment required.
"If two weeks produces something useful, we carry on. If not, you walk away knowing more about your problem than when you started."
This works well for
- Founders or MDs with a specific operational problem they haven't been able to fix internally.
- Operations leads who know something is broken but aren't sure where to start.
- Businesses considering a broader engagement and wanting to test the fit first.
- Teams going through a transition (a sale, a growth phase, or a new system) who need outside perspective quickly.
The best way to know if we're right for each other is to work together.
We built this offer because the engagements that work best are the ones where both sides understand the fit before committing. A proposal doesn't tell you that. Two weeks of real work does.
You bring one problem that matters to you right now. We interpret it, reflect back what we're hearing, and propose a concrete two-week focus.
By the end, you'll have seen how we communicate, what we produce, and whether this kind of working relationship makes sense. That's the point.
We focus on business systems, operations, workflows, and digital infrastructure. Every engagement is specific to one business; nothing is templated.
The broader service journey runs through three phases: Discovery, Build, and Care. The two-week trial is how most engagements begin.
What the two weeks actually involve
Focused entirely on the one problem you bring to us.
Our read on your problem
We take your brief and write up what we're hearing: the pressure points, the likely causes, and where focused effort would make the biggest difference.
A proposed focus
We outline what a two-week engagement would concentrate on, specifically rather than speculatively. You approve it before anything starts.
Two weeks of actual work
Focused, practical work on the agreed problem. You see what we produce and how we communicate.
A clear next step
At the end of two weeks, both sides have an informed view on whether to continue, and what that would look like.
Four steps. Straightforward by design.
The form takes four minutes. Everything after that is handled by us; you just need to be available for feedback during the two weeks.
You describe one problem
Using a short structured form. Your words, not a template.
We send you our interpretation
Within the same session, you see our read on the problem, at no charge.
We agree scope and price
Nothing proceeds to the working period until you're happy with both.
Two weeks of focused work
You see how we think, how we communicate, and what we produce.
What you walk away with
Regardless of whether you go on to a broader engagement.
A clear read on your problem
How an operational specialist interprets your situation, written down rather than talked through over a call.
Something tangible from two weeks
A process map, workflow design, or system recommendation, not a deck of slides.
A calibrated sense of fit
Two weeks is enough to know whether this kind of working relationship makes sense for both sides.
A natural path to Discovery
If the trial works, the next step is a full Discovery engagement, with context we've already built together.
An honest assessment
We'd rather be upfront about fit than waste your time or ours.
This works well if you…
- Have one specific, bounded operational problem.
- Are the decision-maker, or have direct access to whoever is.
- Can give two to four hours of your team's time across the fortnight.
- Want to see how an outside specialist approaches your kind of problem before committing to anything.
This probably isn't right if you…
- Need a full implementation team from day one.
- Want a low-effort audit with no intention of acting on what it finds.
- Are looking for someone to confirm a decision you've already made.
- Won't be able to give feedback during the two-week period.
Frequently asked
What happens immediately after I submit the form?
You'll see our initial interpretation on-screen within the same session. You'll also receive a written summary by email.
What kinds of problems are a good fit?
Operational problems with some definition to them: a process that keeps breaking, a system that isn't working, a workflow that depends on one person, a reporting gap, or a handover that fails repeatedly.
What does the two-week trial actually cost?
Submitting the form and receiving our initial interpretation is free. Pricing for the active two-week working period is agreed with you before anything starts. We confirm scope and cost at Step 3, and nothing proceeds until you're happy with both.
What happens at the end of the two weeks?
We have a short conversation about what was produced and whether it makes sense to continue. If it does, we propose the next phase, typically a Discovery engagement.
We already have an internal IT team. Is this still relevant?
Often yes. We work alongside existing teams rather than replacing them. The problems we focus on tend to be at the process and workflow level, which is usually distinct from what an IT team handles.
