Three Engagements, One Common Thread
Each service addresses a distinct type of heritage business situation, with scope and depth calibrated accordingly. All three deliver a written report as the primary output.
Back to HomeOur Methodology
How We Approach Every Engagement
We follow a structured process across all three engagement types, adapted in scope and duration to the specific service. The sequence is consistent: thorough intake, examination, site visit where applicable, analysis, and written report. We do not shortcut any stage.
What varies is the depth and focus of the examination. A heritage property engagement involves more regulatory review and on-site work than a small business strategy engagement, which focuses more on operational and market context. The scope is calibrated — not arbitrary.
The written report is the deliverable we hold ourselves to. It documents what we examined, what we found, and what we recommend the business consider. It is thorough enough to be useful as a reference document long after the engagement closes.
Intake
Initial meeting to understand the business, its context, and what the owner is hoping the engagement will illuminate.
Examination
Structured review of operational, market, and regulatory factors relevant to the business and its heritage context.
Site Visit
Physical visit to the business location where applicable. Heritage property and retail engagements include this as standard.
Written Report
Structured document synthesizing findings and recommendations, delivered at the close of the engagement.
