01

It starts with one hour, with you.

Not delegated. The economic buyer, on the call, because the archaeology of how you got your current positioning is half the analysis. We cover five things:

1
Your current positioning, and its archaeology: who chose it, what it replaced, and what was rejected at the time.
2
The market as you see it: the rival named in deals you lose, what the buyer does if they pick nobody, how hard they evaluate.
3
The options you are already weighing. They enter the slate as labeled bets, tested as hard as mine. If yours wins, you see it win on the matrix. If it dies, you see exactly why.
4
The proof you actually hold. Named referenceable customers, audited numbers, third-party validation. Not what's almost ready. This is the uncomfortable segment and it is where every engagement so far has found the bottleneck.
5
The trigger. The raise, the board date, the competitive fire this decision is for, who approves it, and what is off-limits.
before the call: a 20-minute intake form and a folder of what you already have. the call spends judgment only on what research could not fill.

Decision-grade or we keep working.

THE GUARANTEE

If your executive team does not rate the bundle decision-grade at delivery, I rework it with a further working session at no cost. If it still is not, half your money back.

WHAT I WILL NOT GUARANTEE

Market outcomes. Positioning pays back in quarters. Anyone who tells you a rebrand pays off on launch day is selling you a launch party.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

Companies without a trigger. If nothing is forcing the decision, the deliverable becomes a document instead of a decision, and that is a waste of your twelve and a half thousand dollars. If you have a trigger, the first conversation is the diagnostic itself: you will learn something about your positioning whether or not we go further.
