Turn your assessment into a focused 90-day plan
Your IFBD Assessment shows where the business may be strong or weak. The Diagnostic Review helps you decide what those results really mean and what to work on first.
We go through your assessment with you, challenge assumptions where needed and narrow the result down to a small number of practical priorities.
The fee includes the assessment review, a focused 60-minute diagnostic discussion and a 90-day development direction.
- reviewed IFBD Score
- confirmed maturity level
- three development workstreams
- focused 90-day plan
A score tells you where to look. It does not always tell you why.
Two companies can receive a similar score for very different reasons. One may have a strong sales process but weak financial visibility. Another may have good systems but still depend heavily on the founder.
You are not sure which issue matters most
The assessment has surfaced several weak areas and you need to decide where management attention should go first.
You may be rating the business too generously
Some practices can look more established from inside the company than they do when the evidence is challenged.
You want a practical next step
You do not need another long report. You need a short list of actions the business can realistically start working on.
One review. Three clear priorities.
The purpose is not to analyse every detail of the company. It is to identify the management issues that deserve attention now.
Review of your assessment
We look at your answers, six dimension scores, critical questions and diagnostic pattern before the discussion.
60-minute diagnostic discussion
We go through the important areas together and test whether the self-assessment reflects how the business actually operates.
Reviewed IFBD result
Your score and maturity level are reviewed in light of the discussion and the evidence you can describe or provide.
Three development workstreams
We narrow the findings down to the issues that should have the greatest practical impact on the business.
90-day direction
You receive a focused sequence for what to establish, standardise or measure over the next three months.
A clearer management conversation
The output gives you and your team a common way to discuss weaknesses without trying to fix everything at once.
How the review works
Complete the free Assessment
The Diagnostic Review starts from your existing IFBD Assessment result, so there is no need to repeat the same questions.
We review the result together
During a focused 60-minute discussion, we look at the areas that matter most and challenge assumptions where needed.
You leave with a 90-day focus
The final output identifies three workstreams and a practical direction for the next stage of improvement.
This review is useful when the business is becoming harder to manage
It is designed for founders and SME leaders who need more structure, but do not want a large consulting project.
The review is particularly relevant when the company is growing and management systems have not developed at the same speed.
It may be a good fit if:
- too many decisions still come back to the founder
- sales are growing but remain hard to forecast
- roles or responsibilities are unclear
- important processes are inconsistent
- management information is not good enough for decisions
- you know several things need attention but cannot decide where to start
Free Assessment vs Diagnostic Review
They are designed for different jobs.
Self-reported baseline
You describe how the company operates and receive an immediate score, maturity level, diagnostic pattern and priorities.
Best for: seeing the current picture and identifying where to look.
Reviewed diagnosis
Your result is discussed, challenged and translated into three focused workstreams and a 90-day direction.
Best for: deciding what to do next and reducing the risk of acting on an overly optimistic self-assessment.
Common questions
Do I need to complete the free Assessment first?
Yes. The Diagnostic Review uses your IFBD Assessment as the starting point.
Is this a full consulting engagement?
No. It is deliberately focused. The goal is to review the assessment, identify the most important issues and define a practical 90-day direction.
What happens after I request a review?
We confirm the next available time, payment arrangements and any information that would be useful before the discussion.
Will the reviewed score always be different?
No. The purpose is not to lower or raise the score. It is to check whether the self-reported result is supported by the way the business actually operates.
Is the Diagnostic Review a certification?
No. It is a management diagnostic and development service. It is not an audit, certification or investment opinion.
If your assessment has raised more questions than answers, that is useful
The next step is to decide which issues genuinely matter and what the business can improve first.
