For founders with time pressure.
The two phases
The Event Audit runs across two phases in one week.
01
Mapping
Session 1
See your whole debt map.
02
Prioritisation
Session 2
Get your paydown roadmap.
WHO IT IS FOR
AI founders in regulated markets burning £15k a month or more, with no fixed ceiling. Time pressure is the qualifier, not burn rate or stage. A founder burning £90k a month with a stalled enterprise deal qualifies just as much as a founder burning £20k heading into a raise.
WHAT YOU GET
Two sessions within one week and a written Assumption Debt® map ranking every significant untested assumption by load and test status with a prioritised paydown roadmap. Delivered within 24 hours of session two.
INVESTMENT
£4,750 fixed. If you proceed to the full engagement the fee is deducted in full.
• Stalled enterprise deal.
• Pre-Series A raise clarity.
• Board meeting preparation.
• Relationship testing before the full engagement.
• Regulatory or compliance trigger.
Not right if under 5 months runway with no imminent trigger, pre-revenue, or a side project without a committed team.
£15,000.
For founders with decision pressure.
01
Framing
Week 1
Know what you are betting on.
02
Design
Week 2
Build the tests.
03
Testing
Week 3
Face real evidence.
04
Verdict
Week 4
Get your decision.
Framing (Week 1)
We surface the decision, map every assumption underneath it, and define what is genuinely irreversible. You leave knowing exactly what you are deciding and what you are betting on without realising it.
Design (Week 2)
We define what success actually looks like, design the tests that will pressure each critical assumption, and schedule the stakeholder conversations. You leave with a testing plan built around your specific decision.
Testing (Week 3)
We run ten to fifteen stakeholder conversations against your assumptions. Real external evidence, not internal reasoning. You leave knowing which assumptions survived contact and which did not.
Verdict (Week 4)
We synthesise everything into a written decision memo. A clear go or no-go, with the evidence behind it. Not a slide deck. A decision you can act on and defend to your board.
Your time: 15-18 hours across four weeks
Two working days, not a side project. Live time is concentrated in weeks 1 and 2. After that you watch the conversations we run, then we sit together on the synthesis and the memo. We handle outreach, scheduling, the conversations, the analysis, and the write-up.
Week 1
4.5h
Live sessions, plus short prep
Week 2
3.5h
Live sessions, plus short prep
Weeks 3-4
5-8h
Observe, then synthesis + debrief
Those weeks 3-4 hours are not filler. Founders who skip the room get a tidy memo and a thin read of the people who will actually decide. You stay in the work because judgement is the part we cannot do for you.
What we absorb: outreach, scheduling, running the conversations, analysis, the memo. What you keep: framing, presence in the room, final judgement.
If 15 to 18 hours in this shape doesn’t fit the next four weeks, say so on the first call. We’d rather wait than run a thin process.
