Common questions
We tried an AI sourcing tool and it was noise. Why is this different?
Because the tool was not the problem. The operating model around it was. We fix that first.
How long does the call take?
Thirty to forty-five minutes.
Do you work with single-desk agencies?
Sometimes, but we are built for multi-desk firms with a real ops layer. We will say on the call if we are not a fit.
Is the roadmap a sales pitch?
No. You keep it whether or not you work with us.
A simple guarantee
If we cannot map at least three quick wins for you on the call, you walk away with a written referral to a more relevant specialist. No charge, no hard feelings.
