You send me the problem.
No polished brief required. Give me the version you actually have.
Focused Working Session
Send me the messy version.
You don’t need to know what the solution is. That’s kind of the point.
Tell me what’s happening, what’s getting stuck, and what you’ve already tried. I’ll read it myself before I recommend anything.
Before you pay me
Why I ask first
I don’t want you to book a working session because you think you need one.
Sometimes the answer is a working session. Sometimes the problem needs something bigger. Sometimes there’s a much simpler fix.
And sometimes I’m just not the right person to help.
I’d rather figure that out before you pay me.
The review
What happens next
I read it.
I look at what’s happening and whether I genuinely think I can help.
I tell you what I think.
If a Focused Working Session makes sense, I’ll tell you what I think we can accomplish together and send you the option to book one.
If it needs something different, I’ll tell you that instead.
If I don’t think I’m the right person, I’ll tell you that too.

90 minutes$500One real problem
I’ll come in having already read your context.
We use the time to work the problem — not spend half the session figuring out why we’re there.
Afterward, I’ll send you a short Working Brief with what we figured out, what I recommend, and what happens next.
The messy version
Okay. What’s messy?
No booking or payment yet. I’ll read this before I decide what the next step should be.
