We do not sell generic consulting retainers where junior analysts bill hours to write slide decks. We engineer systems. Depending on your current capability, we either build the infrastructure and hand it over, lead your existing team through a transition, or embed our own team to run the motion for you.
The standard agency model is built around the retainer: sell an ongoing block of hours, deliver "strategy" in the form of presentations, and leave the execution to the client. When the strategy fails to produce revenue, the agency blames the client's execution. When the execution fails, the client blames the agency's strategy.
Strategy disconnected from execution is just a very expensive PDF.
Strata operates differently. Every engagement is tied to a specific commercial outcome. We build the architecture, we write the playbooks, and we configure the CRM. If you have the team to execute, we hand it over. If you do not, we run it. We only sell the level of engagement required to move the revenue number.
Every model begins with the same step: the Diagnostic Audit. We do not prescribe an engagement structure until we have read the data and identified exactly where the system is failing.
You do not need to guess which model fits your company before speaking to us. The Diagnostic Audit (Weeks 1–3) exists specifically to answer this question. By reading your pipeline data, evaluating your current team's capabilities, and measuring the complexity of your sales motion, the diagnostic produces a clear recommendation on whether you need a system sprint, leadership coverage, or full execution.
Regardless of which model you ultimately need, the first step is always the Diagnostic Audit. Three weeks to a complete commercial baseline.
