This isn't a retainer or an embedded role. It's outside judgement on a single high-stakes piece of work, brought in sharp, scoped, and time-bound, for the moments where waiting for the usual process costs more than acting.
Not every problem needs a consultant. This is for the specific ones that do.
There's a call to make, and the usual sign-off chain would take longer than the window you have to make it.
Someone inside the organisation has a stake in the answer. The project needs a read from outside that structure.
This isn't a process to templatise. It's a specific, unfamiliar situation that needs judgement, not a playbook.
A short conversation to establish what's actually being asked, and whether this is the right engagement for it. Not every project needs me. I'll say so if it doesn't.
A defined project with a defined end. No open-ended retainer, no scope creep dressed up as thoroughness.
You work with me, not a team of associates learning your context on your clock.
The deliverable is a decision you can act on, not a document that gets filed. What you do with it is up to you.
Tell me what's moving faster than you can fully plan for. I'll tell you honestly whether this is the right kind of engagement for it.
