The UNLOK Performance Diagnostic
In 30–45 days, you'll know exactly where your business is leaking performance. And what to fix first.
Most leaders already sense something's off.
The UNLOK Performance Diagnostic tells you precisely what, and what it's costing you.
You're pushing on growth. On getting more from what you've built. On making AI work inside your business. And the organization keeps not keeping up.
Decisions stack. Execution drags. Initiatives land and don't hold. The same friction keeps surfacing in different forms.
The instinct is to call it a people problem. That's where most leaders start. What we find is something larger.
Every growth challenge, and every AI initiative, moves through the human layer of your organization. The way people decide, own work, and collaborate under pressure. That layer wasn't designed for what you're asking of it now. No amount of tooling, headcount, or restructuring will fix that. It will just expose the cracks faster.
That's what the UNLOK Performance Diagnostic finds.
What's included
Executive interviews
We start at the top. 60-minute conversations with each of your senior leaders to understand how they see the strategy, where they believe it's working, and where they think it's breaking down. This is our starting point, and it's where the picture starts to form.
Manager interviews
This is where strategy either becomes execution or doesn't. Your managers are the ones who translate what leadership decides into what the business does day to day. We talk to them directly, without a filter, to understand what's moving and what's stuck.
Frontline Snapshot Survey
A 15-minute survey for the people doing the work. We ask them what it's like to operate inside your organization day to day. Their answers usually tell a different story than the one at the top.
UNLOK Diagnostic Readout
A live presentation with your executive team covering what we found, what it's costing you, and where to start.
Recommendations Report
A plain-language report that tells you what's broken, why, and what to do about it. In the order that will actually move the needle.
Your time investment
1hour
per executive interview, plus manager interviews and survey deployment. We handle the analysis, synthesis, and presentation.
What this is worth
The average fully-loaded cost of a senior leader runs $200,000–$400,000 per year. If three of yours are spending 30% of their time compensating for system gaps they can't name, that's $180,000–$360,000 in annual leakage. Before turnover. Before missed execution. Before the deals that didn't close because the machine behind the salesperson couldn't deliver.
The UNLOK Performance Diagnostic starts at $5,000.
It tells you where that money is going.
Our commitment
If we complete the UNLOK Performance Diagnostic and cannot surface at least one clear, actionable problem with a practical path to fixing it, we refund the fee. No friction, no argument. We've never had to make that call. But it's yours if we can't deliver.
Why the timing matters
Every quarter this runs undiagnosed, the cost compounds. AI is accelerating the gap between organizations with clean operating models and those without.
The UNLOK Performance Diagnostic takes 30–45 days. The organizations pulling ahead right now aren't the ones who figured it out overnight. They're the ones who started building while everyone else was still deciding whether to show up.
Waiting costs more than the Diagnostic.
Get started
Book a 30-minute discovery call. We'll ask about what you're seeing, tell you honestly whether the UNLOK Performance Diagnostic makes sense for your situation, and walk you through exactly what the process looks like.
No pitch. Just a straight conversation.
The Recommendations Report is yours to act on however makes sense for your business. Take it in-house and run with it, bring us in to do the work alongside you, or both at different stages. There's no requirement to engage us further.
