The work, described plainly.

Much of what we do is commercially sensitive. Where a client has agreed, we publish anonymised notes setting out the situation, the work and the result.

Situation notes

Situation note 01

Performance improvement

Personal care, New Zealand

Situation: A founder-led brand with strong demand but deteriorating gross margin, inventory held across too many lines and a supply chain that could not support its retail commitments.
Work: Rationalised the range, renegotiated key supply terms, rebuilt demand planning and introduced weekly commercial reporting the board could act on.
Outcome: Margin recovered, working capital released from slow-moving stock, and the business able to hold its retail listings without discounting.

Situation note 02

International expansion

Sustainable consumer products, Australasia

Situation: A business preparing for international expansion with no clear view of unit economics by channel, and leadership gaps in finance and operations.
Work: Established channel-level margin reporting, prioritised two markets over five, and put interim operating leadership in place while permanent appointments were made.
Outcome: A deliberate, margin-led market entry replaced an opportunistic one, with a permanent leadership team in place at handover.

Named case studies are published only with client consent. Further detail can be discussed under confidentiality.
