Built for today, light by design.

Most outcomes start and end with CEO Signal™, our conversation and two page brief that clarifies the decision. Often, the brief is enough. When it isn’t, we add only what is needed: a quick surgical follow up.

Labs + Builds

After the brief, if you still need help, we run a short, focused diagnostic to shape discovery before any lab or build. Each example below shows the issue, what we guided, and the type of solution. Compact, short, fixed cost. Light lift with clear owners and tight handoffs.

Primary path: Start with CEO Signal for a brief in 48 hours.

In practice, we move in days or weeks, hand off cleanly, and then step out—we’re not a body shop or a billable-hour machine. If more support helps, we can extend from a 4–6 hour diagnostic to a 2–3 day lab, a short sprint, or a lite retainer. Quick by design—never a big SOW.

A few examples:

  • Global manufacturer: Talent work felt busy but not strategic. We aligned TA and Marketing to one message, created two lightweight playbooks, and set a two-week rhythm with clear owners and simple metrics. Solution: Strategy/Solve Lab.

  • Technology services firm: Recruiting was inconsistent and tools were fragmented. We validated strategy, implemented a right-sized ATS, rebuilt job content, launched workflows, enabled company-wide sourcing, mapped 100 competitors to keep pipelines live, and improved hiring signal and scoring. Solution: Retainer.

  • Private equity firm: Needed a fast reset. We launched a new corporate site in two weeks, a careers site the next week, configured the ATS, and established a formal recruiting cadence with early hires. Solution: Sprint.
