ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Two ways to engage. One evidentiary standard.

Engage us as an always-on governance instrument under flat subscription, or commission a partner-led mandate scoped to a single board-critical outcome. Both run on the same proprietary models and the same NDA-by-default posture. Pricing below is indicative; every engagement is confirmed in a private consultation.

MODEL 01 · CONTINUOUS

Continuous Leadership Diagnostics

Subscription telemetry that replaces the billable-hour consulting cycle.

From USD 8,000
per month · indicative, scaled to board and executive population

An always-on governance instrument. Your board and executive bench are continuously assessed against our proprietary models — effectiveness telemetry, succession-depth reads and composition gap analysis — refreshed on a standing cadence rather than commissioned project-by-project.

  • Six-dimension board-effectiveness telemetry, refreshed quarterly
  • Continuous CEO & key-executive succession-depth monitoring
  • Skills-matrix and composition gap analysis with peer-percentile benchmarking
  • Priority access to the AI-native candidate search platform
  • Named Practice Lead and standing quarterly governance briefing
  • Jurisdiction-aware data residency, NDA-by-default
For
Boards and management teams who want a permanent governance signal, not an annual review.
Commercial
Flat annual subscription. No billable hours, no per-deliverable invoicing.
MODEL 02 · RETAINED

Full-Service Retained Mandate

A bespoke, partner-led engagement for a defined board or executive outcome.

Engagement-priced
fixed retained fee · confirmed on consultation

The premium tier. A Managing Partner takes direct ownership of a defined mandate — director or CEO search, succession architecture, or a multi-pillar governance programme — delivered end-to-end with auditable, board-grade work product.

  • Managing-Partner-led engagement, never delegated to associates
  • Empirical search mandate with algorithmically constructed, auditable slates
  • Eight-phase CEO succession architecture where in scope
  • Board-grade psychometric and cognitive assessment of the slate
  • Adverse-media and social-account screening on shortlisted candidates
  • Median first response in four hours; median proposal turnaround 48 hours
For
Chairs, NomCo chairs and lead independent directors with a live, board-critical mandate.
Commercial
Fixed retained fee scoped to the mandate. Transparent, milestone-based, no hourly surprises.
