You have the resources: money, a team, a working business. You're missing one thing: confidence in the picture. Five situations people come with most often.
Before you invest
“The deck looks good. I need to know what's actually under it.”
Before a cheque goes into a company, a short sprint gives you the operational picture the deck doesn't show: how the business really runs, where it leaks, what the team can and can't execute. Financial due diligence checks the numbers. This checks whether the machine behind them works.
A business on a plateau
“The reports say one thing, my gut says another, and I can't see where the money leaks.”
Companies 7 to 15 years old, growth has stalled, everything runs through you. The sprint shows the business as a system: where the leaks are and what to fix first.
Before a big bet
“Should I build the product, enter the market, where should the budget go?”
You have resources and a decision at stake. The sprint is insurance for that decision: real data and a model instead of gut feel, before the money is spent.
Before a deal
“Due diligence will expose the fog, better to see it first.”
Selling a stake, an investor, a partner coming in. The sprint gets the business ready for outside eyes: a transparent picture, numbers that add up.
Handing over control
“I want to step back from operations, but the business lives in my head.”
A manager, a partner or a successor. The sprint makes the business legible and transferable: maps of processes, roles, and a model.
If you already know exactly what to do and just need hands, I'm not your guy, and I'll say so on the first call.
