The live decision.
A founder dispute, capital choice, senior hire, board issue, cross-border move, exit, ownership restructure, or one decision that keeps returning to the desk.
Pick the situation closest to yours. The page below routes you to the right next step. If none of them fit cleanly, the general application sends it to Stan and he replies within forty-eight hours.
Leave the decision open another quarter and the cost shows up in the multiple at sale, the team you lose, or the partner you cannot get back. The right route now is cheaper than the wrong route then.
Pick the closest situation
Not a course. Not a booking widget. Not a deck. The work starts with the business situation, the real tradeoff, and the next move the owner has to make.
A founder dispute, capital choice, senior hire, board issue, cross-border move, exit, ownership restructure, or one decision that keeps returning to the desk.
Stan works through the contradiction in the story, the wrong frame inside the question, the hidden authority issue, and the consequence nobody inside the business wants to name.
The work closes when the question is cleaner, you can name what you are actually choosing between, and the next move is on paper without pretending the stakes are smaller.
The tier colors are intentional. They mark commercial depth. If you are unsure, use the short application. Stan assigns or redirects after checking the context.

For principals whose desk keeps producing consequential decisions.
For decisions that belong to a board, partners, or family.
Use the short application if unsure. Pick a tier only when the shape is obvious.
The general application is short. Tier-specific pages ask only what is needed for that structure.
Within 48 hours. Yes with a time, no with a reason, or a redirect if a different structure fits better.
Use the short application. The first conversation assigns the structure.
ApplyEvery week the decision stays open it picks up cost. Quiet cost.
A senior hire made before the owner-level choice is clear costs salary, time, trust, and another search.
An AI build chosen before the business owner knows the decision becomes contracts, workflow debt, and tools people work around.
A family business transition shaped too late becomes a price, control, and trust problem at the same time.
An acquisition, sale, partnership, or expansion can look like finance while the real business choice sits underneath it.
Business coaching is $750 for one 90-minute session. It belongs before the larger spend, not after the money has already moved.
