Founder Fit Check, Service Pathway and Letter of Engagement

Turn a closing programme, underused asset or public priority into a lasting service, fundable project or stronger institution.

Fit check

1. What best describes your situation?

Choose one.

2. What would success look like?

Choose up to three.

3. Are you ready to act?

Timing

Your likely starting path Pick the closest. We will confirm the right route.

Choose this when: you have a live programme, service, asset or project but no agreed route.

Example: A donor project ends in nine months and the board must decide what to keep and fund.

You are paying us to: Clarify the decision, compare practical routes and identify what must be tested first.

You leave with: A one page value thesis, route decision, 100 day move and next paid work order.

Choose this when: a grant funded programme is closing and useful value may disappear with it.

Example: A training programme has trusted partners, data and facilities, but no continuity plan.

You are paying us to: Decide what to preserve, transfer, redesign, convert or close.

You leave with: A value and asset map, continuity decisions, funding bridge and 100 day transition plan.

Choose this when: a useful service needs a reliable payer, price and repeatable delivery system.

Example: A public university laboratory or nonprofit training platform could serve paying clients.

You are paying us to: Test one contract, fee, licence or cross subsidy route before building the full system.

You leave with: Full cost pricing, a real buyer test and a scale, redesign or stop decision. The full system is built only if the route is proven.

Choose this when: a priority, pilot or prepared project needs a credible project, funding and approval route.

Example: A ministry priority has support but no costed delivery model, approval sequence or funding plan.

You are paying us to: Build the project to the right stage and organise the funder, partner, approval and diligence path.

You leave with: A preferred option, cost and benefit case, governance and procurement route, funding pack and year one plan.

Choose this when: funding is approved, but conditions, procurement, owners, controls or delivery are not aligned.

Example: Financing is signed, yet the permanent team is not ready to mobilise or manage blockages.

You are paying us to: Mobilise the critical path, stabilise delivery and transfer the system to permanent owners.

You leave with: A 100 day plan, owners and issue log, working management controls and a documented handover.

Choose this when: a sponsor manages many programmes or projects and must decide where limited support goes first.

Example: A foundation or regional body has 40 legacy programmes and an overstretched technical assistance budget.

You are paying us to: Compare, classify and rank the portfolio, then issue focused work orders for the highest value needs.

You leave with: A portfolio map, ranked support allocation, quarterly dashboard and managed work order pipeline.
