Management Consultancy
Focused strategy work for SaaS, D2C, and food-sector founders facing a decision with no obvious right answer — which channel to prioritize, where growth actually stalled, what "good" looks like at your stage. Not open-ended consulting. A narrow, defined engagement with a specific answer at the end.
Four kinds of decisions we get called in for
Each engagement answers one of these — we don't bundle multiple open questions into a single project, because that's how scope creeps and answers get vague.
Go-to-market & channel prioritization
Which channel actually fits your unit economics and stage — not a generic marketing-mix framework, a call on where your next dollar of GTM spend should go.
Growth bottleneck diagnosis
Growth has stalled and it's not obvious why. We trace the funnel, the unit economics, and the operating cadence to find the actual constraint — not the one that's easiest to blame.
Operating decisions without a benchmark
A specific call you need to make — pricing structure, a build-vs-buy decision, sequencing two competing priorities — where you don't have a reference point and getting it wrong is expensive.
Sector-specific benchmarking
How your CAC, retention, margin, or growth rate actually compares to other SaaS, D2C, or food-sector companies at your stage — not a generic industry report.
What this isn't
- An open-ended retainer or ongoing advisory relationship
- General org-chart or reporting-structure redesign
- HR policy, hiring process, or people-ops consulting
- Generic "growth strategy" disconnected from your actual numbers
What this is
- A fixed-fee, defined-scope project with one clear question
- Answered by the person doing the work — no handed-off analyst
- Benchmarked against real SaaS, D2C, and food-sector data
- Scoped narrowly on the intro call, before any commitment
How a scoped engagement actually runs
Four weeks, one question, one answer — not a rolling advisory relationship that never quite concludes.
Scoping call
We define the one decision this engagement needs to answer, in writing, before any fee is agreed. If the question is too broad or better suited to an ongoing relationship, we'll say so here rather than take the project anyway.
Deliverable: Written scope & fixed fee
Diagnostic
We pull your actual numbers — funnel data, CAC, retention, unit economics — and benchmark them against comparable SaaS, D2C, or food-sector companies at your stage. This is where assumptions get replaced with data.
Deliverable: Diagnostic summary with benchmarks
Analysis
We work through the actual decision — modeling the trade-offs, testing the leading hypothesis against the data, and ruling out the options that don't hold up under scrutiny.
Deliverable: Working analysis, reviewed with you mid-engagement
Recommendation & handover
A direct recommendation with the reasoning behind it — not a slide deck of options with no call made. You leave knowing what to do next and why, not with more homework.
Deliverable: Recommendation memo & walkthrough session
What you leave with
- A written scope defining the one question this project answers
- Diagnostic summary benchmarked against your sector
- A direct recommendation, with the reasoning shown
- A walkthrough session to work through implementation
Engagement
Scoped on the intro call. Narrow, defined engagements only — not sold as an ongoing retainer, and not expanded mid-project without a new scope and fee agreed first.
Book a scoping callHave a decision you can't quite answer alone?
A scoping call defines the question and the fee before anything else moves — no commitment past that.
Management Consultancy is a fixed-fee project engagement, scoped narrowly on an intro call.
