Signal. Clarity. Action.
Work just changed. AI is speeding decisions, old playbooks age fast, and long consulting projects miss the moment. Mid-market CEOs need fast, credible clarity and a move they can run this week—without a parked team or long contracts. That’s exactly what TalentSum delivers.
TalentSum delivers peer-backed decision intelligence on people and execution, powered by an anonymized library of peer patterns. Start with CEO Signal™: a short survey, one focused call, and a two-page brief in 48 hours with a peer snapshot, the core constraint in plain English, and next moves for the next 90 days.
If you want more, we add only what helps: a quick clarity call, a focused Diagnostic, or a two-day Strategy/Solve Lab. Rarely, that points to a short Sprint or limited Retainer. If the need is bigger or off-lane, we introduce the right partner and step out.
Why it works: situational judgment from real peers, not canned frameworks. Privacy is default. Led by Christopher Mengel, a repeat founder with deep mid-market experience and a bias for small moves that stick..

The TalentSum difference
Built for today, TalentSum is a light human layer between consulting and passive content, delivering peer-backed clarity and one or two moves you can run this week. No memberships or upsells, just brief meetings or short projects when useful.
-
We surface current, credible signals grounded in anonymized patterns from leaders like you so you can act this week, decide faster, and cut risk.
-
Short formats and fixed fees: a two-page brief, an optional $990 Diagnostic, or a one- or two-day Strategy/Solve Lab. No parked teams, no scope creep, just the smallest effective move. When a bigger build is right, we refer and stay copied for continuity.
-
We help your team move with clarity and autonomy, getting you most of the way without expensive projects. You get plain-English insights, simple metrics, and repeatable process changes your people can run.
