01 — Problems we solve
When direction is contested, stale, or unpriced.
a
Growth has stalled and the honest explanation is structural, not commercial.
b
The portfolio has accumulated businesses, products or regions no one would choose today.
c
The leadership team holds three different strategies, each of them unwritten.
d
A major bet is coming, whether an acquisition, a market entry or a technology platform, and it needs a case that will survive contact with reality rather than merely surviving the board meeting.
02 — Evidence
What the results show.
Outcome evidence2.1× median return on redeployed capital across strategy engagements, 2024–2026, audited at month 24. A median means half of those engagements returned less than that. We quote the median because the best case is not what a board is buying.
