Consulting
Senior advisory for leaders making decisions about China, technology, and market change. Briefings, scenarios, and memos you can actually use.
The value
You are not buying a report.
Reports are cheap and everywhere. What people pay for is judgment, access, and speed once a decision is already on the table.
In China since 2009
In China since 2009, building businesses and relationships in Mandarin through several cycles. What we tell you comes from watching things ship there and seeing which of them lasted.
Access you cannot search for
Founders and operators across technology and retail, and the policy circles around them. When a question needs a real answer from inside the market, we can usually get it asked.
Days, not quarters
Formats sized to your decision window rather than to a consulting calendar. A briefing takes days and a memo takes weeks.
Formats
Three ways the work is delivered
Board briefing
A closed-door session in your boardroom on China speed, AI, platforms, retail, or operating models. Plain language and current examples, ending on what changes for your agenda.
Scenario session
A working session with your team for when the market can move in more than one direction. You leave knowing the practical alternatives, and what would tell you early which one is happening.
Decision memo
A short written recommendation: the decision, the tradeoffs, and the posture we would take. Written to be forwarded and argued with.
The process
How an engagement starts
The work starts from the decision on the table. There is no discovery phase to sit through first.
01
A short first call
You describe the decision and the window it lives in. We say plainly whether we can sharpen it.
02
Scope in one page
You receive a one-page scope: the question, the format (briefing, scenario, or memo), and the timeline.
03
The work itself
A briefing in your boardroom, a scenario session with your team, or a written memo your board can act on.
