Clarity and action (because guessing is exhausting).

Most business owners aren’t failing because they lack good ideas. They’re stuck because there’s a gap between what looks like the problem and what’s actually causing it.

Maybe you’ve added staff, bought software, or brought in a specialist — and for a while it seemed to help. But then the same problems reappeared, just in new forms.

That’s not a sign you’ve failed. It’s a sign you’ve been aiming at symptoms instead of root causes.

For over 15 years, this is the work we’ve been doing — studying, testing, and refining how to uncover what’s really blocking growth. Amanda has a PhD in education, with published research and institution-wide surveys that pinpointed systemic gaps. Allie specializes in spotting the patterns that create inefficiency and turning those insights into operational changes that stick in real, messy environments. Together, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned and boiled it down into a diagnostic process that is practical, compassionate, and designed to stick.

Why It Matters

Without clarity, businesses stay stuck in a cycle of whack-a-mole: cash flow one week, staff turnover the next, deadlines slipping after that. Each time you throw effort at the problem, only to watch a new one pop up.

The diagnostic breaks that cycle. It goes deeper than surface observations to pinpoint where the real friction lives and which levers will create lasting change. Unlike diagnostics that assume you must start over or wait until everything is perfectly mapped, our approach delivers enough clarity to act with confidence now — and keep building as you go.

Our Diagnostic Services

  • For owners who want clarity on a pressing issue. Includes:

    • 90 minute session focused on your top challenge

    • 1 page summary of insights from our proprietary diagnostic system

    • 2-3 recommended next steps

    • Investment: $297 (credited towards a full diagnostic if you upgrade)

    This is for you if:
    You need a quick, focused read on a single pain point — like a bottleneck that keeps resurfacing, a process that feels clunky, or a decision you’ve been stuck on. The Lite Diagnostic gives you targeted clarity without the commitment of a full engagement.

  • For owners who want a clear, prioritized plan for moving forward. Includes:

    • 2-3 facilitated sessions with you (yes, you can include your team if you’d like)

    • Custom findings report identifying root causes and bottlenecks

    • Action plan with next steps

    • Investment: $1,500 (pricing can change based on size of business)

    This is for you if:
    You’re ready to look at the whole picture — not just one issue — and want a prioritized roadmap that connects the dots across your operations, systems, and team. The Full Diagnostic gives you the depth and clarity to understand what’s really holding you back and a clear plan to move forward.

  • A diagnostic gives you the clarity to see what’s really happening in your business. From there, you can certainly take the insights and move forward on your own. But for many clients, consulting is how progress happens faster and with less friction. By building directly on the diagnostic, we help you act on the findings in a structured, iterative way — so bottlenecks get resolved sooner, systems strengthen more smoothly, and the changes you want take root more reliably.

Imagine This

You stop wasting energy on fixes that don’t stick. You stop wondering if you’re the problem. You finally know exactly where to focus, and just as importantly, what to ignore. You stop losing money on projects that drag on too long because systems keep things on track and can confidently say yes to new opportunities because you know they'll actually get done.

That’s the power of a diagnostic.
