The Diagnostic versus business consulting
A consulting project analyzes the business from the outside: market, operations, financials, org chart. It produces a deck and a roadmap. What it cannot see is the founder-shaped cause sitting underneath the numbers, because that cause does not appear in the data room.
Business consulting
- A project with a team, typically weeks to months, five to seven figures.
- Addresses the business: strategy, operations, market, organization.
- Output is recommendations and a roadmap. Execution and its risk stay with you.
- Treats the founder as a stakeholder to interview, not as part of the system under study.
- Right when the problem is analytical: market sizing, process design, diligence.
The Diagnostic
- One 90-minute session with one person, €2,500.
- Addresses the founder and the business as one system sharing the same blind spots.
- Output is one named structural cause, the evidence trail, and one decision you can act on within days.
- The founder is the primary source of evidence. The diagnosis is named in your own words.
- Right when the analysis already exists and the decision still has not been made.
The five documented founders were not short on analysis. They had dashboards, advisors, and in one case 25 years of executive search experience. What they lacked was the name for the pattern connecting the numbers. That is a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
