      "question": "Who do you typically work with?",
      "answer": "CEOs, leadership teams and boards where growth has slowed, strategic priorities need clarifying, or the situation is complex and time-critical. Sectors include industrial manufacturing, food and agri-processing, technology, and retail and distribution. Every engagement is senior-led and direct, no intermediaries, no associate teams."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does an engagement begin?",
      "answer": "With a single confidential conversation, usually an hour. No deck, no proposal at that stage. If there's a fit, a short written read of the situation follows within a week. If there isn't, the conversation closes there and stays there."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does an engagement cost?",
      "answer": "Retainers are structured based on the nature and intensity of the situation: ongoing senior support, a growth and strategy focus, or a high-intensity complex engagement. Where appropriate, success-based or value-linked incentives can be agreed upfront. Fee detail is shared after the first conversation."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the work confidential?",
      "answer": "Yes by default. No public client lists, no logo walls, no case studies that name a business. References on request."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you work with the existing team?",
      "answer": "Always. The leverage point is the organisation that already exists. The work is done with and through the current leadership, not in parallel to it."
    },
    {
      "question": "Geographies?",
      "answer": "Based in Stellenbosch. Engagements run across South Africa. Travel is part of the work when being in the room makes a meaningful difference."
