1
Diagnostic
For when you know something’s off but can’t put your finger on it. We dig in, name the real problem, and you leave with a short list of what to fix first.
2
Strategy Sprint
A few focused weeks for when you have a big call to make on direction, positioning or priorities, and can’t afford to drift. You walk away with a clear plan.
3
Transformation Programme
Three to six months working side by side on strategy, systems and the day-to-day, until the new way of working runs without me.
4
Solvra Advisory
A senior sounding board on retainer. For founders who need someone to think with, without hiring a full-time COO.

I’m not interested in a strategy that only exists as slides. I want to know it survives a Tuesday.
