How an engagement runs

Five steps, in the same order every time. The names stay short so the work can be honest.

  1. I. Listen

    We start inside the business, not the brief

  2. II. Frame

    The real question, on one page

  3. III. Decide

    Options, trade-offs, a recommendation

  4. IV. Build

    Plans, materials, introductions

  5. V. Stay

    On call while it meets the market

Who you’ll work with

The people in the first meeting do the work.
