Your starting point

What are you
trying to solve?

The work

Work out what’s
really going on.

You give us the situation.

We challenge the obvious answer, connect the numbers and work out what to do next.

No generic strategy exercise. No twenty-page waffle.

    The real issue

    Ranked by likely value.

Real problems.
Better questions.

Examples of what FORGE looks at.

Growth & sales

“We’re getting enquiries, but sales have stopped growing.”

Do you need more leads, or better follow-up on the ones you already have?

Ideas & opportunities

“It could be brilliant. Or a complete waste of money.”

Which assumption could break the commercial case — and how do you test it?

Missed value

“We’re doing okay, but leaving money on the table.”

Is the money in better pricing, unused assets or removing operational drag?

FORGE Review

When the first answer
isn’t enough.

When the Diagnostic uncovers something valuable, complex or consequential, the Review goes properly into it.

Executive Opportunity Report

What we think should happen and why.

Financial / Decision Model

The economics, assumptions and scenarios behind the recommendation.

Decision Dashboard

The evidence, risks, opportunities and measures that matter.

90-Day Action Plan + Briefing

Who does what next, what gets measured and what would change the decision.

Reviews start from £5,000 and are scoped individually.

Not every Diagnostic needs one. We recommend deeper work only where the value or complexity justifies it.

Special Projects

When you know what needs doing and want help getting it done.

Diagnostic first. Deeper work only where it earns its place.

An independent eye

Built for owners
who want
a clear answer.

Felicity Southwell created FORGE to bring an independent commercial eye to the decisions you’re too close to see clearly.

Where deeper work is justified, she gets directly involved.

No supplier agenda. No incentive to complicate the answer.
