Home/Are we a fit?

Six questions.
Then we'll tell
you straight.

A retainer is a long relationship, not a transaction. So work down the page and click the answer that sounds like you. We'll respond honestly to each one — and at the end, tell you whether a call is worth your thirty minutes.

Nothing is saved and there's no form. The most useful answer we can give you is sometimes a no.

01Who's asking

First — who are you?

Pick the one that's closest. There are no wrong answers — only honest ones.

02What you need

What do you
actually need?

The honest version — not the version for the board deck.

03Your business

What does the
business look like?

This is mostly about whether our fees and our size make sense for you.

04Timing

When do you
need results?

Be realistic. We'd rather set the expectation now than miss it later.

05Working style

How do you want
to work with us?

This one matters more than people expect. It's where partnerships succeed or stall.

06What decides it

And what
decides it for you?

Last one. The thing that, deep down, actually swings the call.

07The verdict
Based on your answers— nothing yet

Answer the six questions and we'll give you a straight read.

No score to game, no email to hand over. Just an honest view on whether we're the right team — and the confidence to stop reading if we're not.

A fit you have to talk yourself into isn't one. So we'd rather lose the call than win the wrong client.
