MAUL

(Impressing Your Friends @ Dinner Parties)

Services, loosely defined.

Three ways to work with us. All of them involve us showing up prepared, and none of them involve a status deck. Pick the one that matches how scared you are.

The Jab

1–2 day workshop

A sharp, contained engagement. Your team walks in confused. They walk out confused, but now with a framework. We have been told this is a gift.

  • Half-day or full-day intensive, facilitated live
  • A pre-read that is shorter than your average email
  • One (1) Miro board, populated, archived, and beloved
  • A post-session synthesis that does not require a second synthesis

Pairs well with: leadership offsites, team onboarding, 'we just got new funding' moments.

The Cross

4–8 week future visioning

You have a hunch about where your industry is going. We interrogate the hunch. We interview ten people who know more than us about it. We come back with a future you can actually staff against.

  • Signals research across adjacent industries
  • 3 divergent futures, written like they could run on the front page
  • Strategic provocations your exec team will argue about
  • A 'now what' plan that is specific enough to assign

Pairs well with: strategy refresh cycles, board prep, the quiet existential dread of Q3.

The Hook

ongoing advisory

A small number of companies we work with continuously. Not a retainer. Not exactly not a retainer either. Office hours, a Slack channel, and the occasional 'are you sure about this?' call at 10pm.

  • Bi-weekly async or live sessions, your pick
  • Access to our network (warmly introduced, never spammed)
  • Strategic co-pilot on specific bets you're making
  • Zero decks. Seriously.

Pairs well with: founders, chiefs of staff, people who don't want another consultant but do want another brain.

we'll know it when we see it

Not sure which one? Email us and we'll tell you, bluntly, which one is wrong for you.
