Question 1

Do you also implement the strategy you recommend?

Accepted Answer

We can. Consulting and implementation are separate partnerships so you are not required to use us to build. Many clients use the roadmap with their internal team or a different implementation partner.

Question 2

How long does a strategy partnership take?

Accepted Answer

A focused roadmap for a single function, like marketing technology or IT infrastructure, takes three to four weeks. Enterprise wide digital transformation assessments are scoped individually.

Question 3

We have already invested in our current stack. Are you going to tell us to replace everything?

Accepted Answer

Rarely. We start with what you have and optimize the configuration and adoption before recommending replacement. Switching costs are verifiable and factored into every recommendation.

Question 4

How do you handle confidential business information during the assessment?

Accepted Answer

We sign an NDA before any access is granted. Every document and data point you share is used solely for the partnership and not retained after delivery.

Question 5

What does the final deliverable look like?

Accepted Answer

A written report covering current state, gap analysis, prioritized recommendations with rationale, and a phased roadmap. You receive a slide deck version for stakeholder presentation and a working document version for implementation reference.

Question 6

What happens during the Current state assessment phase?

Accepted Answer

We inventory your technology stack, interview department leads, and map your current processes against your business objectives. We identify where technology is helping and where it is creating friction.

Question 7

What happens during Gap analysis and options?

Accepted Answer

We produce a written analysis of the gap between your current state and your goals, with two to three options for closing it. Each option includes cost, timeline, and risk. You choose the direction.

Question 8

What happens during Roadmap and implementation support?

Accepted Answer

We produce a phased roadmap with clear milestones and ownership. If you want us to lead implementation, we scope that separately. If you have an internal team, we provide the architecture and oversight.

Question 9

What does the Grow package include?

Accepted Answer

A full technology stack inventory across marketing, IT, and finance systems, vendor overlap and redundancy analysis, prioritized rationalization recommendations, and a findings summary session with your team, at a custom price.

Question 10

What does the Scale package add over Grow?

Accepted Answer

Scale adds cross department stakeholder interviews to surface conflicting vendor priorities, cost and capability comparison across overlapping tools, a unified technology roadmap with a phased consolidation plan, and a vendor contract renewal calendar with decision checkpoints, for $1,680.

Question 11

What does the Accelerate package add over Scale?

Accepted Answer

Accelerate adds ongoing quarterly stack reviews through year one, direct support during vendor renegotiation and transition periods, a governance framework for future technology purchase decisions, and priority access for follow up audits, for $3,140.

Question 12

Do you take referral fees or resell licenses from vendors?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not take referral fees or resell licenses, so when we tell you a vendor is not the priority everyone claims it is, that call is based on your stack, not our margin.

Question 13

What happens to the strategy after the partnership ends?

Accepted Answer

Documented architecture decisions with the reasoning included stay with your team. When staff turns over or priorities shift, the context is captured and does not walk out the door.

Question 14

How do you decide what gets prioritized first?

Accepted Answer

We sequence by ROI and dependency, not by which vendor is loudest. Every priority has a documented rationale you can point back to.

Question 15

What does success actually look like for this engagement?

Accepted Answer

Success is not another strategy document sitting in a shared drive. It is your team still using the dashboard and holding the decision rhythm months after the partnership ends.
