Engagements and investment
A Clear Path From Suspected Leakage to Margin Control
One focused diagnostic engagement, one flagship operating engagement, and one post-flagship continuity option. The right starting point depends on the decision leadership needs to make.
Core engagement
90-Day Profit Recovery and Margin Control Engagement
$50,000 fixed

What becomes possible
Useful Value Before Day 90
The milestone structure is designed to reduce uncertainty without turning the engagement into hourly consulting.
By Day 15
Leadership sees the first exposure map, control gaps, and immediate no-regret actions.
By Day 30
Leadership knows which validated opportunities deserve first-wave action and why.
By Day 60
The work has moved from analysis into ownership, measures, controls, and implementation.
By Day 90
The team owns the evidence, priorities, control system, and continuation sequence.
Other points in the path
When the Flagship Is Not the Immediate Starting Point
One defined question
30-Day Margin Opportunity Sprint
$12,000
For leadership that needs focused analysis of one agreed operating area before making a broader commitment.
- Focused data and operating review
- Quantified opportunity map
- Priority decision brief
- Executive findings review
- Next-step recommendation
The Sprint does not include a whole-operation review, broad implementation, SOP buildout, vendor execution, or eligibility for the monthly partnership.
Discuss the Sprint
After the flagship
Margin Control Partnership
$4,500/month
For leadership teams that completed the 90-day engagement and want continued help protecting and extending the gains.
- Continued roadmap implementation
- KPI and operating-control governance
- Control refinement as conditions change
- Executive guidance and decision support
- Periodic operating deep dives
Available only after the 90-Day Profit Recovery and Margin Control Engagement. It is not a cheaper path around the flagship.
Review Flagship Fit
Decision guide
Which Engagement Fits?
One defined area or decision needs evidence
The 30-Day Margin Opportunity Sprint is the likely starting point.
Leakage appears cross-functional or controls need to be installed
The 90-Day Profit Recovery and Margin Control Engagement is the likely fit.
The flagship is complete and leadership wants continued governance
The Margin Control Partnership may be appropriate.
Forward Margin may also recommend no engagement. The Executive Margin Review exists to determine whether the problem and likely business value justify paid work.
