Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Talk to a real human on our team - we usually reply within one business day.

What does strategic consulting cover?
Business model, GTM, digital and AI transformation, RevOps optimization, and process automation. The hard, cross-functional decisions leadership teams cannot delegate.
How is H4H different from a McKinsey-style firm?
We are smaller, embedded, and execution-aware. Our recommendations come with the teams that ship them. We are less deck and more roadmap-to-revenue.
How long does a strategic engagement take?
Diagnostic engagements run 4-10 weeks. Retained advisory runs by quarter. BOT engagements run 12-24 months.
How much does strategic consulting cost?
Project bands depend on scope. Diagnostics typically start in the high-five figures. Retainer and BOT quoted separately.
Will you also execute?
Yes. We sit between pure consulting and pure execution - and prefer when we can ship the recommendation alongside the deck.
Do you do board-ready reviews?
Yes. Many retained engagements include monthly board-ready reviews tied to predefined KPIs.
Can you advise on M&A or fundraising?
Strategic and operating diligence - yes. We do not act as a financial advisor or investment banker.
How is H4H different from a typical strategy boutique?
We pair strategy with the practices that ship it. Decisions that do not connect to operating teams stay decks.
