TWO DECISION ANALYSIS FORMATS

Focus or Diagnostic?

Focus and Diagnostic can both be used for decisions that matter. What changes is how much of the situation needs to be examined together.

Focus is suited to situations where one central question and a small number of options can be examined in a targeted way.

Diagnostic is designed for situations where several scenarios, constraints or uncertainties are connected and need to be considered together.

You do not have to choose on your own. The Fit Check lets us review your situation before guiding you toward the service that fits it best.

AT A GLANCE

Two formats, the same standard of care

FOCUS · TARGETED DECISION ANALYSIS

Focus

For one central question and usually one or two realistic options to compare.
CAD 149
Best suitedWhen the decision is already identifiable and you mainly need to distinguish between a small number of options.
Standard delivery3 business days after we confirm that the analysis has started.
After deliveryOne follow-up question about your analysis is included and can be sent within seven calendar days after delivery.
DIAGNOSTIC · IN-DEPTH DECISION ANALYSIS

Diagnostic

For a decision where several scenarios, constraints or uncertainties need to be considered together.
CAD 390
Best suitedWhen several parts of the situation are connected and need to be examined together to understand the consequences of each path.
Standard delivery5 business days after we confirm that the analysis has started.
After deliveryUp to two follow-up questions about your analysis are included and can be sent within seven calendar days after delivery.
COMPARISON

What actually changes between Focus and Diagnostic

Both services follow the same standard of analysis. What changes is how many parts of the situation need to be examined together before the decision becomes sufficiently clear.

Dimension
Focus
Diagnostic
The starting question
One clearly defined central question, usually involving one or two realistic options.
One central decision where several scenarios or connected factors need to be examined together.
What needs to be untangled
The facts, constraints, priorities and uncertainties that genuinely carry weight in the decision.
The starting point, scenarios, constraints and the way the different elements affect one another.
How the options are compared
Each option is examined in terms of what it offers, what it requires and the conditions under which it becomes more or less coherent.
Each scenario is examined in terms of what it offers, what it puts at risk, what becomes harder to reverse and which uncertainties remain open.
What still needs to be checked
What could still change that conclusion.
Information that needs confirming, assumptions that can be tested and decisions that still depend on another step.
The conclusion
Conditional direction plus a practical next step.
Conditional direction, an alternative scenario where relevant, plus a practical action plan.

WHAT BOTH SERVICES HAVE IN COMMON

The same standard in both formats

01

AN ANALYSIS BUILT AROUND YOUR SITUATION — The work focuses on your decision, the options that genuinely matter and the information needed to examine them.

02

EVERYTHING IS DEFINED BEFORE PAYMENT — You know what will be analyzed, the price and the expected delivery date before you commit.

03

CONFIDENTIAL WRITTEN DELIVERY — Your analysis is delivered by email so you can read it at your own pace and return to it later.

04

A REASONED DIRECTION, NOT A DECISION MADE FOR YOU — The analysis identifies the path that appears most coherent based on the information available. The final decision remains yours.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DELIVERABLE

Focus gets to the heart of the question. Diagnostic shows how the different parts fit together.

Focus

A targeted decision

The document concentrates on what really distinguishes the options, the direction that emerges and what could still change it. Central question → Comparison → Direction → Next step.

Central trade-off in the public Focus sample — fictional case.Conditional direction in the public Focus sample — fictional case.

Diagnostic

Several elements examined together

The document shows how the scenarios are connected, what still needs to be checked and the order in which some decisions may need to be made. Starting point → Scenarios → What needs checking → Direction → What to do next.
