Transparent starting points

Prices for
diagnostic clarity.

Scale X is priced as senior diagnostic advisory work, not hourly consulting, training or workshop delivery. These are starting points to make the first conversation concrete.

How pricing works

Clear enough to decide.
Flexible enough for context.

Every company and leader entry situation has a different level of complexity, urgency and access to information. The fee is confirmed after a short scoping conversation, based on the number of leaders involved, the depth required and the executive outputs needed.

All prices are indicative starting points in EUR and exclude VAT where applicable.

What the price buys

The output is not time spent.
It is decision quality.

  • A clearer view of what is really driving the visible issue

  • Executive outputs that can travel into leadership or board conversations

Common questions

Can we start smaller?

Yes. The Signal Scan exists for exactly that reason. It gives both sides a focused, paid way to test fit and value.

Is leader entry only for the leader?

It can be initiated by the leader, the company, the board or an advisor supporting the transition.

Do you offer free pilots?

No. Early validation is handled through paid entry points such as Signal Scan, Entry Signal Map, Diagnostic Sprint or Founding Practitioner Access.

Why not hourly?

The value is not the number of hours. It is the quality of diagnosis, the clarity of the executive conversation and the decisions it unlocks.

Start with scope

A short conversation is enough
to choose the right entry point.
