Find your growth path
- B2C growth consulting — Hands-on growth consulting for consumer businesses: understand where customers lose momentum, choose a focused intervention and measure the commercial result. Start with a diagnostic or a scoped growth sprint, not a promise of overnight scale.
- Startup growth consulting — Growth consulting for founders who need a sharper next move, not a bigger marketing stack. B2B and B2C startups can start with a focused diagnostic or experiment sprint. Stage, customer behaviour and available evidence determine the work.

Free growth audit
Describe what has changed to get a five-part AI-assisted investigation checklist: a working hypothesis, evidence to collect, a first intervention, measurement guardrails and when to evaluate. Two AI audits are available per browser. Your description and selected business context are sent to the AI service. If AI is unavailable, you can explicitly choose a rule-based checklist that runs locally. It does not inspect your website, analytics or CRM.

How I work
Establish the baseline, design a testable intervention, deliver with the team and document what to scale, revise or stop. Scope and timing depend on data access, implementation capacity and the customer decision cycle.
