Our Framework · Stage 2
3sixty Clarity
Stop guessing where the problems are. Get every part of your business scored on evidence, and a clear plan for what to fix first.
How it works · Diagnose
See what’s really happening, before anything changes.
Two to four hours with you and your team, looking at the evidence: how work really gets done, not how it’s meant to. Then every area gets a score, based on what we saw.
Three lenses: how we think
Strategy
What are we trying to achieve?
Goals, priorities, and whether the plan is reviewed and adjusted.
Structure
Who does what, and who decides?
Roles, ownership and decisions, and whether the business can run without the owner.
Systems
How does the work get done, every time?
Processes, tools and information, and whether they hold up on a busy day.
Four pillars: where we look
In each pillar we ask the three lens questions. That’s what we mean by looking at the whole business.
People
Roles, skills, training and accountability.
Operations
Processes, quality and the daily running of the business.
Commercial
How enquiries are found and turned into sales: opportunities, conversion and profit per sale.
Finance
Profit, cash, costs, and the numbers behind decisions.
Scored on what we see
Each area gets a score from 1 to 5, based on evidence, not on plans. When in doubt, we score lower. We never add it all up into a single grade.

What you receive
- Your scores, lowest firstEvery area scored from 1 to 5, with the weakest at the top of the report, because that’s where your attention should go.
- Findings in plain languageWhat we saw, and why it matters, without jargon.
- A 30/60/90-day planEvery action has an owner, a date and a measure.
Independent by design. We recommend our own services only where the findings point to them.
How pricing works
What does a business consultant cost?
A fixed fee, set by the scope and agreed with you before any work starts.
- What sets the scopeThe size of the business, and how many areas we look at.
- A fixed fee, agreed firstWe agree one fixed fee with you before any work starts. No work begins until you’ve said yes.
- The first conversation is freeA short call to understand your business and agree what 3sixty Clarity should cover.
Do I need a business consultant, advisor or coach?
If the business keeps hitting the same problems and you can’t see why, an outside view helps. 3sixty Clarity is that view, on evidence: we look at every part of the business and tell you plainly what to fix first. If you’d rather start on your own, take the free 3sixty Health Check.
