We work in structured sprints.

Every engagement is designed to produce decisions, artefacts and momentum — not an endless discovery phase.

Read the full sprint system

The three sprints

Sprint 01 · Weeks 1–3

Scoping Sprint

Problem definition, stakeholder map, evidence review and a small set of testable hypotheses. You leave with a scoped brief, success metrics and a clear go / no-go gate for build.

Delivers: decision memo, research synthesis, sprint plan for prototype.

Next: Prototype Sprint — or a conscious pause if the case is not yet there.

Sprint 02 · Weeks 4–8

Prototype Sprint

Experiments, service or venture prototypes, and structured learning cycles with real users or operational data — depending on risk and regulation.

Delivers: prototype suite, learning log, recommendation on scale path.

Next: Execution Sprint — or a narrowed pilot with explicit kill criteria.

Sprint 03 · Weeks 9–12

Execution Sprint

Operating cadence, adoption metrics, partner alignment and the minimum governance needed so the organisation can run without the studio on every call.

Delivers: playbooks, dashboards where appropriate, handover workshops.

Next: Optional light retainers or capability transfer — scoped separately.

Clients

Who we work with

Established enterprises navigating transformation; Series A/B ventures needing discipline before the next raise; government and development programmes that must show outcomes to citizens and funders; and ecosystem partners building accelerators, platforms or field networks.

Sector experience includes financial services, ag-tech, climate, tourism, health, education and consumer — primarily in African markets, with methods portable elsewhere.

Commercial

Engagement model

Engagements begin with a Scoping Sprint. Fees reflect sprint depth, senior time and risk — we do not publish rate cards on the site. Typical scopes are agreed in writing after a short discovery call.

What is included: workshop design, research, facilitation, written outputs and a single accountable lead. What is not included: long-term implementation staff augmentation unless explicitly contracted.
