Ad-Hoc Advisory

Ad-hoc advisory exists for moments where something in the business needs to be thought through, but doesn’t sit naturally within a quarterly review.

It’s designed to bring clarity, judgement, and perspective into a particular situation, decision, or period of uncertainty, without creating an ongoing engagement.

This work is flexible by design and shaped around what’s most useful in the moment.

When this is Useful

Ad-hoc work is often valuable around moments such as:

  • Pricing or positioning changes
  • Hiring, role design, or structural decisions
  • Growth inflection points or periods of pressure
  • Partner, investor, or acquisition conversations
  • Transitional periods between phases of the business
  • Situations where something feels off, unclear, or unresolved

Some of these moments are urgent. Others are simply easier, and cheaper, to think through early.

When this is not Useful

Ad-hoc advisory is not:

  • Ongoing execution support
  • Interim or fractional management
  • A substitute for regular commercial oversight

The focus is on clarity and problem-solving, not delivery.

How Engagement Usually Works

Ad-hoc work is scoped around the situation at hand.

Engagements are typically short, focused, and conversation-led – sometimes a single session, sometimes a small cluster – depending on what’s useful.

If the work reveals a need for ongoing oversight or structure, that conversation happens deliberately and separately.
