48-HOUR DIAGNOSTIC → DECISIONS. OWNERS. NEXT STEPS.

THE WORK, IN PLAIN ENGLISH.

Strategy dies in the “Frozen Middle”—the layer that nods “yes” but has no incentive to change. We enter when silence is expensive.

01
INTAKE (30 MIN)
We map context, constraints, and the "political third rail."
→
02
FRICTION AUDIT (48 HRS)
Interviews & artifact review to locate the blockage.

READOUT & PATH

✓ GREAT FIT IF:

  • Execution stalls despite agreement in the room.

  • Leadership wants the truth fast.

✕ NOT A FIT IF:

  • You want motivational speaking.
  • You won't share real internal artifacts.
  • You need a 6-month research phase.
  • You prioritize comfort over correction.

FAQ

What exactly is the Friction Audit (Diagnostic)?
A fast diagnostic to identify where execution is breaking: incentives, decision rights, ownership gaps, and operating rhythm. Even if you don't hire us for a Protocol, you get the map.
How long do engagements run?
Audits are 1–2 weeks. Protocols typically range 3–12 months depending on the reset required.
Do you work with Startups?
Only when there’s traction and a real team to manage. We scale execution—we don’t hunt for product-market fit.
