Build evidence in short cycles. Commit only when the next step is earned.
A small start, then four steps from your first insight to an optimised launch. Underneath them runs one rhythm: the 15-day cycle, explained below.
Start small. Each stage earns the next.
Fifteen days is our working rhythm. The four steps below are how we take an insight to an optimised launch.
We work in 15-day cycles. Each one ends in your decision.
You stay at the centre of every cycle. Each one does three things. It tests your instinct at the lowest possible cost, returns the evidence to you, and leaves the next decision in your hands.
- 01DefineWhat important question should this sprint answer?
- 02EstimateWhat people, specialists, tools and research will it take?
- 03ApproveNothing starts without your go-ahead.
- 04Build or investigate15 focused days on the agreed objective.
- 05ReviewWhat did we learn? What did it cost? Did a stop condition appear?
- 06DecideContinue, redirect or stop.
Then repeat, but only when the next cycle is justified.
The ringed step is your go-ahead.
Every business gets stop conditions. Every sprint checks the evidence against them.
No process can make success certain. This one makes uncertainty visible early, so spending stays deliberate.
You are never approving a black box. You are approving the next useful piece of work.

The Fit Sprint. See each step on your own idea.
You’ve seen the four steps. Before the first comes the Fit Sprint: fifteen days, at cost, that show the process at work on your idea.
Begin with a small first yes.
A private conversation first, with our compliments. If it’s right, we send a proposal, and a Fit Sprint can follow: 15 days, at cost, to see the process on your idea.
