Pathway to A Strategic Diagnostic, Project Activation, or Fractional Partnership

Before committing time and budget, we clarify scope, priorities, and the right engagement model.

The first step is completing the Diagnostic Assessment form.

After reviewing your responses, we provide a short quote outlining the most appropriate path forward.

Three Possible Pathways

After we review your form responses, you’ll choose a path that best fits your needs:

A) Strategic Communications Diagnostic

This is a structured session + report, designed to align priorities and define scope.

Investment: $1,500 (credited toward future work).

B) Project Activation

For time-sensitive, well-defined initiatives.

We provide a scoped quote.

C) Ongoing Fractional Partnership

When support is structural and recurring.

We propose tiered monthly options.

Who this is For

The Strategic Assessment and Diagnostic process is designed for organizations that:

    • Are navigating growth, visibility, funding requirements, or change

    • Have communications goals that exceed current capacity or clarity

    • Want alignment before committing significant time or budget

    • Care about trust, consistency, and measurable impact, not just content production

    • Are prepared to move forward if the right scope and structure are identified

This process works best when leadership is engaged and open to making decisions based on what clarity reveals.

Investment

The Strategic Communications Diagnostic is the most common entry point for communications engagements; aligning priorities early, preventing wasted effort, and creating a clear, actionable path forward.

$1,500 + HST

If we proceed into a project or fractional engagement, the diagnostic fee is credited toward your first invoice.

How it works

STEP 1: Complete the Diagnostic Assessment Form (no cost).

Step 2: We review and provide a short, tailored quote outlining your recommended pathway.

Step 3: You select the path that fits your goals and timing.

FAQs

Yes. Completing the Diagnostic Assessment is free. Form responses help us understand your starting point, goals, constraints, and timing before recommending a path forward.

We review your responses and prepare a short, tailored quote. The quote outlines our understanding of your priorities and presents the most appropriate next step.

Based on your responses, one of three pathways is typically recommended:

1. Strategic Communications Diagnostic (Most Common Entry Point)
A structured session + written report that clarifies priorities, constraints, sequencing, and scope. Investment: $1,500 + HST (credited toward future project or retainer work).

2. Project Activation
For time-sensitive or clearly defined initiatives (e.g., funded programs with specific deliverables). In this case, we provide a scoped project quote.

3. Ongoing Fractional Support
When the need is structural and recurring, we propose tiered monthly partnerships beginning with strategy development and followed by ongoing execution.

No. The Strategic Communications Diagnostic is recommended when scope needs clarity or alignment before larger work begins. In cases where scope is already well-defined, we may move directly into a project or ongoing support.

The Strategic Communications Diagnostic ensures we align on priorities, constraints, and sequencing before a larger build begins. It reduces ambiguity, confirms fit, and sets up the work for measurable progress. If we proceed into a project or retainer, the fee is credited toward your first invoice.

That’s fine. The assessment process helps determine readiness and sequencing. If timing isn’t immediate, we may recommend a future check-in rather than immediate engagement.

Yes. We work with organizations across Canada (and occasionally in the U.S.), depending on fit and timing.

The assessment and diagnostic process is structured and decision-oriented. Rather than offering speculative advice, we focus on clarifying scope and identifying the right level of engagement so that time and resources are used deliberately.
