Three engagement tiers. Each is a logical step — not a sales funnel. We recommend starting with whatever level of commitment makes sense for your situation.

Three quick questions
Answer the three questions below and we will recommend which of the three tiers below fits your situation.
Rapid Operations Insight
£500–£750A focused diagnostic for when you need a quick read on a specific issue or opportunity. We observe key processes, interview the people involved, and identify the most immediate opportunities for improvement.
Deliverables
- — 1–2 page summary of top findings
- — Suggested next steps
Timeline
One day on-site, summary delivered within a week
Format: Half or full day on-site
Root Cause Investigation
£2,000–£4,000 (fixed fee)A comprehensive investigation for problems that have resisted earlier attempts at resolution. We conduct a thorough interview cycle across operations, maintenance, engineering and management, observe the process across different operating conditions, and identify the actual root cause — which is often different from what the symptoms suggest.
Deliverables
- — Written report with findings
- — Root cause assessment
- — Recommendations
- — Agreed action plan
Timeline
2–4 weeks from start to action plan approval
Format: Multiple visits over 2–4 weeks
Improvement Programme
£3,000–£5,000/month (retainer)Hands-on implementation alongside your team. We work together to design, build and embed practical improvements — not hand over a report and leave. Progress is reviewed weekly or fortnightly. Success is measured by outcomes, not duration.
Deliverables
- — Implemented improvements
- — Knowledge shared with your team
- — Ongoing performance measurement
- — Case study documentation
Timeline
Scope-driven; measured by outcomes, not calendar
Format: Ongoing partnership, typically 4–12 weeks
