Working With Us
Exclusivity Notice
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
This is not a high-volume practice. We take on only a limited number of clients at any one time, those where our involvement can make a decisive difference. If you're here, it likely means you've been referred, or you already know what you're looking for.
All enquiries are handled personally and in strict confidence. We do not operate mailing lists, sales funnels, or automated follow-ups; contact is entirely at your discretion. On rare occasions, we extend exclusive invitations to select individuals and organisations to engage more formally with our advisory network.

A gorilla once stormed across the room—furious after being let down by another consultant—then sat on my office sofa like a Zen master. That’s about as dramatic as it gets around here. We solve high-risk problems without theatrics. He left calm, satisfied… and still a gorilla.
​
​​
Tailored. Discreet. Built on Real Experience.
​
When you work with us, you’re not engaging a firm; you’re speaking directly to the individuals who have been in the room, in the field, and under pressure.

How We Work - Professionals
​​
1. Free Discovery Call
We begin with a confidential 30 minute to 1 hr discussion to understand your objectives and assess exposure points.
2. Strategic Risk Brief
We deliver a tailored outline of your potential risk posture, advisory path, and next steps, built around your priorities.
3. Executive Advisory
Once engaged, you receive high-touch input from both advisors, blending operational insight with risk mitigation expertise.
Why No Pricing?
Because no two mandates are the same. Every board, deal, and challenge carries its own risk geometry. We scope, price, and deliver accordingly. Our fees reflect strategic value and impact, not time spent. You’re engaging expertise, not a clock.
