Approach

Evidence first, then advice.

We are hired when a decision has become expensive to postpone. The work is to establish what is true, test the narrow question, and write down a position the board can hold to.

Terms
STANDARD
Assessment
4 WEEKS
Full engagement
10—14 WEEKS
Fee
FIXED, STAGED
Deliverable
ONE WRITTEN POSITION
No retainers, no seat-based pricing, no implementation resale.
01
Measure
WEEKS 1—4

Four weeks inside your analytics, contracts, and cost lines. Most of what a publisher believes about its AI exposure is inherited from a conference talk. We replace that with your own numbers before anyone argues about what to do.

Traffic and revenue
Referral decline by product, with the revenue attached to each.
Contract position
What you have licensed, to whom, and on what terms.
Current spend
Tools in use, their cost, and who is accountable for each.
02
Test
WEEKS 5—10

Narrow pilots, each answering a single question, each cheap enough to abandon. Every pilot carries a stopping rule written before it starts: the result that would end it, agreed by the people who would otherwise defend it.

A pilot without an exit condition is not an experiment. It is a budget line with a good story attached.
03
Commit
WEEKS 11—14

One written position, with the reasoning and the numbers left visible, so it can be argued with rather than believed. Abandoned options are recorded and priced in the same document, which is what stops them returning next year.

WEEKS 1—4

Analytics, contracts, cost lines. One baseline everyone agrees on.

Narrow pilots, each with a stopping rule set in advance.

A written position, with the numbers left visible.
STOP
Abandon
Recorded and priced, so it is not retried next year.
Scope
What we do not do
Build or resell tools
We hold no vendor relationships and take no referral fees. The advice is worth less if we are also selling.
Forecast the industry
We model your exposure, not the sector's future. Anyone confident about 2030 is guessing at your expense.
Staff your transformation
No bodies on site for a year. If the answer needs sustained delivery, it belongs to your team.
Start with the four-week assessment.

Fixed fee, one written position at the end. If we do not think we can help, we will say so on the first call.
