Three ways to work together.

Fixed-scope Sprints you can start today. Ongoing work is scoped in a conversation first. Every engagement starts from the same place: your real numbers, read against your sector.

What clients typically find

Most diagnostic sprints reveal insights worth 10–20× the fee. One 12-person agency discovered €47,000/year in margin leaks from a single pricing insight.

Satisfaction guarantee

If your Diagnostic Sprint doesn't reveal at least one actionable insight worth more than the fee, I will refund you in full.

“The Diagnostic Sprint is the starting point. It stands alone as a valuable output. It also becomes the foundation for any ongoing advisory relationship.”
