Package Description:

You get a complete, evidence-based timing analysis of your idea or business using my Why Now framework, based on years of workshopping and writing on the timing topic. The package includes: - Timing Driver Diagnostic: A full assessment of the 12 forces that determine whether your market is ready now, or if you should wait. - Custom Why Now Map: A visual, presentation-ready map showing timing inflection points. - Market Entrance Strategy: Clear recommendations on where to enter, which segments will convert first, and how to sequence your GTM for the highest odds of traction. - Narrative Upgrade: A rewritten, compelling Why Now story you can use in investor decks, pitches, and internal alignment. - Execution Plan: Prioritized steps aligned with current timing conditions so you move fast without wasted cycles. - Direct Access: Live sessions, document reviews, and strategic guidance.


What you'll get from this package

A precise understanding of whether now is the right moment to build, launch, or scale.

A sharper investor narrative that answers the question every funder asks: “Why now?”

A validated market entrance strategy grounded in real-world timing drivers and business models, not intuition.

A durable mental model for timing you can use on future ideas, markets, and strategic decisions.
