Strategic and brand advisory for founder-led businesses navigating growth, exposure, or transition.

/config

Foundational coherence for brands that refuse to grow by accident. 

We are retained to examine the logic beneath behaviour, recalibrate it where necessary, and restore internal coherence. There is a particular pleasure in designing systems that allow intent to survive growth without constant correction.

/kernel

The business brain, behind the scenes.

What we do is not creative theatre or managerial housekeeping. We get a kick out of the unglamorous work of making a business legible to itself.

/log

When the next phase matters, but the path is not yet clear.

We establish the conditions under which decisions stop bottlenecking, priorities remain stable, and work proceeds without constant recourse to the founder.

Our engagements are corrective by design; they prevent improvisation from metastasising into a permanent modus operandi. 

For some organisations, this is liberating. For others, it is uncomfortable. Both are viable outcomes.

/user

Our clients are founders behind brands that already possess standing, cultural credibility, or commercial traction.

They are often carrying too much privately, with discretion concentrated in one person, standards interpreted unevenly, and an increasing recognition that the foundations must now be set deliberately for the next stage of growth.

What unites them is not sector but scale.
It’s the point where improvisation begins to carry consequence.
