Strategy practice
Find the one constraint holding your revenue back — then remove it
A three-week diagnostic that separates a demand problem from a capacity problem from a margin problem, followed by a costed 36-month growth plan your bank and your plant manager both understand.
Typical outcome profile
You are probably here because
One of these sounds familiar
- 01
Revenue has been flat for three years while input costs keep climbing.
- 02
You are busy at 100% of a capacity you never actually measured.
- 03
Every month is profitable on paper and tight in the bank account.
- 04
Two buyers account for 70% of despatch and both know it.
- 05
You have four expansion ideas and no way to compare them.
Our approach
How we actually do this work
Not a methodology diagram. This is the sequence, in order, with the uncomfortable parts left in.
- 01
Baseline in numbers, not opinions
We rebuild 36 months of your P&L by product, channel and customer, then walk the plant with a stopwatch. Most founders see their true contribution margin per SKU for the first time in this week.
- 02
Isolate the binding constraint
Demand, capacity, working capital, margin or management bandwidth — only one is actually binding at any time. We prove which, so you stop spending on the other four.
- 03
Model three futures
Each option gets a full financial model: capex, working capital, break-even volume, payback and the downside case at 70% of plan. You choose with the numbers in front of you.
- 04
Convert the plan into a calendar
A 36-month roadmap broken into quarterly milestones, each with an owner, a budget and a leading indicator. We review it with you monthly for the first two quarters.
