The five offers below sit on a ladder of depth and commitment. A Sprint gives a board a defensible answer to one question in two weeks. A 90-day Diagnostic reads the whole commercial and operating model against evidence. Advisory holds standing counsel to a CEO or Chair. Fractional CGO puts a senior commercial operator inside the executive team through the scale-up years. NED brings the same operator experience to the board table.
All five sit inside the same working method. Named deliverables. No slide theatre. Written outputs you can act on. Full detail is on each page.

How to choose.
Three questions.
What is the shape of the problem. A single question with a deadline is a Sprint. A whole commercial read is a Diagnostic. A rolling series of decisions is Advisory. A missing seat in the executive team is Fractional CGO. A missing voice at the board table is NED.
What is the time budget. Two weeks, one quarter, ongoing. The engagement shape follows the calendar.
Who owns the outcome. If the board owns the decision, a Sprint or Diagnostic delivers a defensible answer. If the CEO owns the decision, Advisory or Fractional CGO installs the work. If governance owns the decision, NED belongs at the table.
