Services

Four engagements. Senior only. Strategic level, full stop.

No implementation. No fractional roles. No discovery phases that pad the invoice. Just four sharp engagements for SMB leadership teams and the boards that decide.

01

Strategic Advisory

We put every technology decision where it belongs: on the P&L, not in the IT ticket queue.

Artificial Intelligence

From isolated experiment to defensible competitive edge with an owner, clear KPIs and a budget line the board can defend.

Automation

Where the hidden margin points sit in your operation, and how to capture them without breaking what already works.

SAP Technology

SAP as the backbone of data and operations, with a roadmap at the level of board strategy.

Cybersecurity

Risk in P&L language, with preventive decisions and metrics the board understands without translation.

Operational Resilience

Designing the business to keep running through scenarios that aren't yet on the radar, before they are.

Strategic Cloud

Cloud as a lever for speed and flexibility, with architecture decisions that hold up when the business doubles.

We bring perspective No slides. We sit in committees and strategy sessions.
The question first The right framing is worth more than the deck.
Total independence We don't compete for the implementation contract.
ROI Calculator

A focused mandate. If a fraction of the impact materializes, it's already paid for.

Strategic advisory combines a monthly base fee with an outcome-based component. Move the sliders to see how the mandate cost compares to the impact it can generate.

Mandate cost Materialized improvement Cumulative flow

This is an illustrative example. Each mandate is sized to the client's needs, goals, and improvement potential. "Potential impact" can take many forms: operational cost reduction, revenue growth, licensing optimization, better tech budget allocation, etc. The base fee is paid 50% at signing (required to start — no net-30 terms) and 50% at completion (for longer mandates, the second tranche is invoiced monthly with a 20% holdback at the end). The outcome-based component is collected 90 days after the go-live of the changes, with a floor of 50% of total base fee and a ceiling of 10% of the materialized improvement. All other invoices net-30.

Program Value captured Cumulative flow

How to read the model: The program is an upfront cost (cohort × €1,900). Over the year, the committee makes N technology decisions — each with a value at stake. The model assumes the program's decision-making uplift captures a percentage of that value on each decision. It's a defensible ceiling for comparing cost vs. upside, not a contractual promise.

03

Board & Council Support

When a million-dollar decision is on the table, the board deserves a second opinion that doesn't sell what it recommends.

When boards call us

  • A multi-million transformation program and nobody wants to be first to challenge it.
  • The CEO presents an AI strategy nobody on the board fully understands.
  • M&A tech due diligence that shouldn't belong to the bank or the seller.
  • The technology conversation has outpaced the board's capacity to evaluate it.

What we bring

  • Total independence. We don't sell what we recommend.
  • Executive clarity. No jargon. Every word moves the decision.
  • The questions nobody asked. The answers nobody wanted to give.
  • A qualified second opinion before significant capital is committed.
Targeted board attendance Independent briefings before critical decisions.
Technology reviews External reads of transformation or M&A proposals.
Independent advisor To the board. Never seller of the next phase.
ROI Calculator

A second opinion before committing capital.

The return on independent board advisory is the percentage of the budget at stake that gets re-routed, deferred, or reduced with better judgment.

Session fee Value protected (at board sessions) Cumulative flow

How to read the model: Stradiax joins as an independent non-executive board member and charges per board session (plus expenses, not included here). "Value protected" is the percentage of the technology budget that an independent review saves from the wrong destination: re-routed, deferred, reduced, or replaced. Actual session fees are calibrated to meeting frequency and associated expenses.

04

Strategic Advisory with peer review

The Stradiax layer that sits at your table, multiplied by a panel of high-reputation external directors who review, validate and challenge it. Three layers of judgment before the recommendation reaches your boardroom.

Elevated tier · Independent external review

Layer 01 · MCouncil

Stradiax's proprietary AI system cross-checks your case against twelve baseline analytical dimensions (expanded per case context) (market, competition, finance, legal, operations, culture) in days, not months.

Layer 02 · Stradiax Advisor

A senior Advisor with twenty-plus years on boards, executive committees and general management reviews, calibrates and translates the findings to your reality.

Layer 03 · Peer panel

Two or three high-reputation independent external directors analyze, challenge and validate the recommendation before it reaches your boardroom. Their signature commits their name.

Triple judgment AI + senior Advisor + external panel. Three angles before the boardroom.
Reputational defensibility Peers sign with their own names. Your board leans on external reviewers.
Boardroom-proof decision What enters your board has already passed three independent filters.

What it's worth to add an external review layer.

Same model as Service 01, plus an external expert advisor panel. Each panel member adds €3,000 to the mandate cost.

Mandate cost Materialized improvement Cumulative flow

This is an illustrative example. Same model as Service 01 plus an external review panel (max 3 advisors, €3,000 each). The panel cost is invoiced at signing (net-30). The base fee and outcome-based component follow the same rules as Service 01: 50% of base collected at signing as a requirement to start (no net-30 terms) + 50% at completion with monthly installments on longer mandates; outcome collected 90 days post go-live with a 50% floor of total base and a 10% ceiling of materialized improvement. The panel raises decision defensibility and typically translates into higher materialization.

Our Methodology

Five steps. Same shape every time.

Whatever the engagement (advisory, mindset reframing, or board support), the work moves through the same five stages. No detours. No padding.

1

Listen

We start with the room. The real conversations, the unspoken constraints, the politics that don't make it into the brief.

2

Diagnose

The actual blocker is rarely the stated one. We separate the technology question from the leadership question from the governance question.

3

Reframe

We change how the question is being asked. The right framing makes most decisions obvious. The wrong framing makes every decision impossible.

4

Direct

Clear strategic direction. What to do, what not to do, in what sequence, and why, in language the board can defend.

5

Sustain

Strategy is a habit, not an event. We stay in the conversation long enough for the new mental model to hold without us.
