Strategic Advisory Retainer
Ongoing board or principal-level advisory access where a standing strategic relationship is more useful than a discrete project.
01
When this is the right call
- The business has a continuing sequence of strategic commercial decisions
- Leadership wants an external principal who already understands the context
- Board, founder, or executive conversations need sharper commercial challenge
- The work is too intermittent or sensitive for a standard project structure
02
What we do
- Run a regular advisory cadence with the principal or leadership team
- Frame decisions, pressure-test options, and prepare the commercial logic
- Review key documents, board papers, offers, or market-facing decisions as needed
- Keep the relationship dilemma-led rather than activity-led
03
What you finish with
A standing strategic relationship with senior judgement available before important decisions harden.
