Frequently asked questions
Who do you typically work with?
For broader business consulting, we partner with clients from any industry looking for efficient scaling. For our crisis management exercising, war games, and resilience planning, we work across financial services, wealth management, and critical infrastructure firms.
What is business resilience consulting vs standard consulting?
Standard consulting focuses on optimization, growth, and margins. Resilience consulting ensures your organization can withstand, adapt to, and rapidly recover from unexpected operational disruptions such as cyber attacks, supply chain halts, or sudden key-person turnover.
How much do you charge for services?
The first virtual discussion is complimentary. Face to face on-site visits are paid in advance. For commissions we work on a project-to-project scope, and special rates are offered for ongoing retainer stewardship.
Will you work remotely or on-site?
We provide both remote simulation delivery and on-site tabletop exercises across India and the UK, functioning strictly on scheduled appointments.
