A free 25-minute conversation with a founder. Bring one service or a new-service idea to mind. We agree the useful next step and send a short, reviewed provisional Fit Note you can keep.
No confidential files or formal preparation. The Note’s delivery time is agreed when you book. Choose a time on our contact page.
Instructional illustration, not a client case
A tool request can hide the more useful decision.
“We need AI” can mean repairing a handoff, using an existing system better, making evidence easier to review, or testing a service opportunity.
Talk through a recent engagement: what already works, where work comes back and what you would rather give that attention to. For a new service, start with the client decision it would support.
The call makes the next question specific enough to act on.
Before: bring the situation
Have one service and a recent engagement in mind. No file dump, timesheets or formal preparation.
During: separate fact from possibility
We discuss the work, the human review point and the smallest useful route: keep the method, simplify, check evidence, consider a Blueprint, defer or stop.
After: keep the Note
A short reviewed provisional recap records what was understood and the next useful action. Its delivery time is agreed at booking.
Leave with the question in writing.
A Fit Note separates your report, what was checked and what still needs evidence. You keep it whether or not you continue, including when the answer is that nothing needs building.
This excerpt is from fictional Marlow Street Advisory’s corrected Fit Note, v2. It is a discussion recap, not a formal design or proven business case.
Fictional Fit Note excerpt
Your report
Draft findings often come back for source links to be rebuilt.
Working question
Would a finding-to-evidence method make partner review easier?
Still unknown
Whether this repeats and a checklist alone would solve it.
Recommended next step
Check the last three return logs before a Blueprint quote.
Only the service description was checked during the free call. The example leaves recurrence open before recommending paid work.
Walk through the conversation before you have one.
Follow a recent engagement, a provisional recommendation and the evidence that later changes the decision. You can inspect both an existing-service and a new-service route.
The walkthrough follows fictional Marlow Street Advisory. The downloadable Cedar Vale Blueprint is a separate fictional example.
Low commitment, specific purpose.
Is the Fit Call a discovery workshop?
It is a free 25-minute triage conversation with a founder. A paid Blueprint is the complete design engagement: one important revenue path and three complete connected designs.
Do I need to decide in the call?
You decide the next useful step. An evidence check, a simpler method, a pause or no further work are valid choices. The Note stays yours.
What experience do you bring?
We bring practical experience with AI in general. For your firm, we apply it to the design and technical build around a specific service. Inspect the complete fictional sample and example walkthrough to judge the method. The written guarantee covers the paid Blueprint.
Who will I speak with?
A founder. Richard Opondo leads fit and commercial framing; Rayan Ratego leads architecture, controls and release readiness. Agree useful participants when booking.
What if we already have a solution?
Tell us what is working. If your current method or tools meet the need, keeping them is a useful outcome. There is no obligation to scope a Blueprint.
