Work with me
Find it first. Then fix it.
Everything here does one job: get your business moving without waiting on you. Start with the Audit. It finds the one thing that matters most, and tells you whether you need anything more. Every price is fixed and on this page.
My first three Clarity Audits are free. Details below.
Start here if you’re not sure
Clarity Audit
“I’m just tired, and I can’t work out why.”
The pain is real. The thing causing it hasn’t been named yet. Naming it is the whole job.
£750
- A 90-minute session: we talk, and I look at where work actually moves and where it stalls.
- A written report within 48 hours, naming the constraint specifically. Not “you’re overloaded”. The actual decision or process behind it.
- What it’s costing you, in time or money, clear enough to act on.
- A 30-minute follow-up call to walk through it together.
- Nothing else. The report is yours to act on, and it stands on its own, whether or not we work together again.
Free for my first three founders.
For a problem you can already name
Constraint Sprint
“It’s this one thing that always gets stuck.”
You don’t need the whole business redesigned. You need that one thing fixed, and proof it stays fixed.
£3,500
- A 90-minute session mapping the exact process or decision causing the pain.
- Five days of real evidence. You keep a short log, about ten minutes a day, so the diagnosis rests on what actually happens, not what either of us remembers.
- A written diagnosis: what’s broken, and what it’s costing you.
- The redesign itself, written down clearly enough to run without me, and running for real in your business from week two.
- Two or three numbers tied to this problem, measured before the fix and again at the end of weeks two, three and four, so you can see honestly whether it’s holding.
- Support by message throughout, a review call, and a one-page close note at the end: what I promised, against what you got.
Founding price: £2,000 for my first two Sprints, in exchange for a case study with the numbers. Anonymised if you’d prefer.
For when it’s everything
Marsh Method Engagement
“It’s everything, and it all comes back to me.”
The hires haven’t fixed it. Neither has the software. The business was built around you being available, and nobody planned it that way.
Priced after the Audit
- Find it. The real constraint, found through interviews, watching how work moves, and the numbers.
- Fix it. The redesign. I’ll always try taking a step out before adding a tool or a hire.
- Prove it. A check built for this specific problem, not a generic dashboard.
- Keep it. The triggers that tell you when it needs another look, so you’re never left guessing.
The expensive option is doing nothing.
Every price here is fixed. You know the cost before we start, and I’ve got no reason to drag the work out.
The Engagement is the only one without a number, because the scope depends on what the Audit finds. Pricing it before then would be guessing.
What isn’t fixed is the cost of leaving it. That one goes up every week the business waits for you.
Do the sum
Lose 8 hours a week to decisions someone else could make, at £75 an hour, and that’s
£28,800 a year
Against £750 to find out where it’s going. Your numbers will be different. Run them on the homepage.
Who this is for
Yes, if…
the revenue’s real, and whether it’s just you or a team of ten, most of what happens still goes through you. You’ve tried working harder. It didn’t fix it.
Not yet, if…
you’re pre-revenue, still working out whether the business works, or looking for someone to run it for you. I’d rather tell you here than on a call.
A note on the founding cohort
3 Clarity Audits. Free. Here’s why.
I’ve spent 18 years watching this problem stall organisations, and fixing it where I could. Now I’m doing it for founders directly, and I’m taking on my first three.
You get the full Clarity Audit, normally £750, for free. In return, if it helps, you give me a testimonial and let me write up what we found as a case study. Anonymised if you’d prefer.
When the three are gone, the normal price applies.
The honest answer
No testimonials yet. Here’s what I’ve got instead.
I’m not going to pretend I’ve got a wall of founder reviews. The founding cohort is where they’ll come from.
What I’ve got is 18 years of working out why work stalls, and fixing it.
For eight years I looked after the systems more than 1,000 small businesses ran on. One example: I built checks nobody asked for, and found backups that had been failing for months while the owners had no idea.
For the last ten, I’ve worked in the NHS, now in cyber security operations, where the whole job is asking what breaks if one thing fails.
Your business is the same problem at a smaller scale. It hurts more, because the one thing is you.
And finding out costs you very little. The first three Audits are free. After that it’s a fixed £750, with a written answer within 48 hours.
Book the free call, bring your hardest question, and judge me on the answer.
Fair questions
“How do I know you can help my business?”
Right now, you don’t. I haven’t got founder testimonials yet. What I have got is 18 years of working out why work stalls inside organisations, and fixing it. Book the call, bring your hardest question, and judge me on the answer.
“Why is the Audit free?”
Because I need proof as much as you need answers. My first three founders get the full Audit, normally £750, in exchange for an honest testimonial and a case study if it helps. Anonymised if you’d prefer.
“You’ve got a day job. Will you have time for me?”
Yes, and I’d rather be upfront about how. I reply to every enquiry within one working day. Calls and sessions run in the evenings and at weekends, which tends to suit founders, because that’s when the business finally goes quiet.
“What if the problem is me?”
It probably is. That’s not a criticism. You built it that way because it worked. The Audit shows you which parts of “you” the business still needs, and which it doesn’t.
“I don’t have time for this.”
That’s the problem talking. The call is 30 minutes. The Audit is one 90-minute session and a 30-minute follow-up. The rest is me and your numbers. The point is to give you more hours back than it takes.
“Why not just hire someone?”
Maybe that’s the answer. But if everything still goes through you, a new hire just joins the queue. The Audit tells you which it is before you spend a salary finding out.
You already suspect which one this is.
Thirty minutes, free. Tell me the situation and I’ll tell you honestly which of these fits, or whether a hire would have fixed it anyway.
It’s just me on the other end. No sales team.
