Your weekly trading meeting, kept honest.
A senior analyst in your weekly rhythm, a decision log that doesn't let calls slip, and a quarterly account of what it was worth.
Weekly decisions, monthly depth, quarterly accountability.
-
Every week
The trading meeting decides something
We run it, or sit in it. Your choice. Either way it ends with the three decisions that matter that week, each with an owner and a date, written into a decision log your whole team can read. No decision, no adjournment.
-
Every month
Two deep analyses
Questions the weekly rhythm can't answer: a category losing share, a promo mechanic to test, a forecast drifting. Scoped in one line, answered in a short readout that ends in a decision, like everything else we ship.
-
Every quarter
The fee justifies itself, or we both see it
The quarterly review adds up the quarter's decisions: which were taken, what they measurably changed, in €, against the fee. If the retainer isn't paying for itself, the review says so, and the rolling term lets you act on that.
The decision log is the product.
Meetings evaporate; the log doesn't. The whole engagement is legible in one page a week: three calls, owners, dates, and what each is worth.
Four places the retainer earns itself. We don't sum them.
Sized on your numbers at each quarterly review, never claimed in advance:
- Module 01
Prevented losses
The promo not deepened, the rollout not rushed. Usually the largest module.
- Module 02
Metric hygiene
Decisions no longer made on wrong numbers.
- Module 03
Roadmap triage
Dead-ends deprioritized before they consume a quarter. Floored at zero when the roadmap held.
- Module 04
Decision speed
Calls made the week they were needed. The hardest to size, so claimed last and smallest.
The modules are never summed, and any module a quarter didn't use is floored at zero. The quarterly review shows which earned, against the fee, on the same page.
Asked before most retainers.
Why a 6-month initial term?
- The first weeks make the rhythm stick. The first honest impact reading needs a full quarter behind it.
- Six months covers both.
- After that the term rolls quarterly. The quarterly review is your standing exit if the numbers don't hold.
What if the impact doesn't cover the fee?
- The quarterly review shows it, because it's computed from your data, not our slides.
- You then have a clean choice: fix the scope, or end at the quarter.
- A retainer that survives on inertia is the kind of spend we'd tell you to cut anywhere else.
Do we need the audit and a sprint first?
- Usually, yes. The partnership keeps alive what the audit found and a sprint built.
- If you already run a decision rhythm and just lost the analyst who kept it honest, bring that to the call.
Start where every engagement starts: one call.
Thirty minutes. If the partnership is the wrong product for where you are, we'll point you at the right one.
