Services
Four engagements,
each with a defined end
Every service is a fixed-scope piece of work with a specified deliverable, a set timeframe, and a fee that is known before the work begins. There is no open-ended commitment.

Engagement 01
Regional Expansion Planning
An assessment for companies considering a second location or a new prefecture. Covers local demand evidence, the cost of establishing and running the site, staffing availability in the area, and the management attention the move will require from an already occupied team. Site visits are included.
Suited to organisations with one established location and a proposal to expand. Not suited to organisations still deciding whether to grow at all — a different conversation is needed at that stage.
What is included
- — Site visits to candidate locations
- — Costed establishment plan with monthly cash view through the setup period
- — Local staffing and demand analysis
- — Management load assessment for the existing team
- — A plain note of conditions under which the move should be deferred
Engagement 02
Performance Measurement Setup
Establishing a small set of measures that reflect how a company actually performs — replacing figures that are reported because they are available rather than because they inform decisions. Four weeks of work with leadership and department heads.
Intended for organisations producing extensive reporting that nobody acts on. The result is a smaller, agreed set of measures and a reduced reporting pack that is actually used.
What is included
- — Interviews with leadership and department heads
- — Written definitions of each retained measure, agreed across departments
- — A reduced reporting pack structure
- — A note of measures that should be discontinued and why
Engagement 03
Outsourcing Decision Review
An examination of whether a function is better held internally or placed with an external provider — covering direct cost, management overhead, quality control, dependency risk, and the practical difficulty of reversing the decision later.
Appropriate for companies weighing an outsourcing proposal already on the table. The engagement may conclude with a recommendation to retain the function internally. Both outcomes are treated as equally valid.
What is included
- — Cost comparison over a five-year horizon, not only year one
- — Assessment of management overhead and quality control mechanisms
- — Dependency and reversibility risk assessment
- — A note on the exit terms that would need to be agreed before signing
- — A recommendation that may be to retain the function
Engagement 04
Board Reporting Preparation
Support in preparing material for a board, investor group, or lending institution. Covers what each audience needs to see, how figures should be presented to be understood, and the questions likely to follow from areas of weakness in the pack.
Runs per reporting cycle. The engagement produces a reusable structure — so subsequent reporting cycles require less preparation time, not the same amount.
What is included
- — A reusable reporting structure for the specific audience
- — Review of the draft pack with written commentary
- — Preparation of the presenting team for questions on areas of weakness
- — Notes on how to present figures so they are understood, not just presented
