01
One named client partner
A single senior owner for the full engagement — no account rotation mid-stream.
Studio
A small studio, deliberately.
We accept a maximum of 10 new engagements a year. Our senior team works on every one. When the roster is full we say so and offer a date rather than thinning the work.
