    The growth plateau diagnostic

    When to use it

    Your firm has been the same size for two or three years. The work still comes in and the team is busy, so nothing looks broken.

    What you get

    Eight questions on how the firm wins work today, a read on where it stands, and the phase to start with: Plan, Build, or Share. The workbook adds the full set of patterns and three worksheets.

    The developer relationship check

    When to use it

    You meet developers and the first conversation goes well. Then months pass, nothing gets scheduled, and the project goes to a firm they heard from more recently.

    What you get

    Five questions on how your firm follows up after a first meeting, the stage where the relationship goes cold, and the one move that fixes it. The field guide adds the scripts and the year-long cadence.

    The 90-day LinkedIn guide

    When to use it

    You post on LinkedIn, and most of the reactions come from other architects. The clients who look you up before a first call, and the people who refer them, are not in your audience yet.

    What you get

    A profile clients trust in ten seconds, a month of posts written from your own projects, and a 15-minute daily routine that turns reactions into client conversations.
