Scoped Proposal
One proposal prepared on the agreed scope. One revision included. No scope drift — the diagnostic defines what gets proposed.

Why KE Diagnoses First
A proposal without diagnosis
is usually guesswork.
Most agencies quote from a brief. KE diagnoses from the real situation. The difference shows up in scope accuracy, project outcomes, and whether what’s proposed is actually what’s needed.
The real problem is unclear
A client asks for ads. But the actual issue may be offer positioning, funnel structure, tracking gaps, CRM follow-up, or a combination. Without diagnosis, the wrong work gets proposed.
Scope gets underestimated
Without reviewing the real situation, hidden dependencies surface after the proposal is signed — system access, team readiness, missing assets, or technical constraints that change the work entirely.
Proposal becomes inaccurate
When scope is built on assumptions, the price, timeline, and deliverables in the proposal are guesses. That creates misaligned expectations, rework, and scope disputes after the project starts.
The Growth Scope Diagnostic fixes this. Before preparing any proposal, KE reviews the real situation — goals, gaps, risks, and what the work actually involves.
What We Cover
Six areas.
One clear picture of the real situation.
The diagnostic reviews every dimension that affects whether a growth initiative will work — not just what the client has asked for, but what the situation actually requires.
Area 01
Business objective & growth goal
What the business is actually trying to achieve — not the brief summary, but the commercial target, timeline, and what success looks like to the decision maker.
Area 02
Current growth bottleneck
Where growth is actually stuck — whether that’s awareness, conversion, retention, follow-up, offer clarity, or something the client hasn’t yet identified as the root constraint.
Area 03
Audience & offer readiness
Whether the target audience is well-defined, whether the offer is sharp enough to convert, and whether the value proposition will land credibly in the intended market.
Area 04
System, funnel & tracking gaps
What’s currently in place — website, CRM, analytics, tracking, automation — and where the gaps are that would prevent any new initiative from being measurable or scalable.
Area 05
Internal team readiness
Whether the client’s team can execute follow-up, adopt new workflows, and sustain what gets built — because the best system fails without internal capability to run it.
Area 06
Recommended next scope
Based on the review, KE identifies which service, engagement type, and sequence is most likely to move the needle — and what can be deferred or deprioritised without losing momentum.
What You Get
One growth strategy consultings session.
One clear scope summary you own.
The diagnostic produces a concrete output — not a verbal debrief, not a follow-up email, but a written scope summary that defines the real problem, the likely work, and the recommended next move.
Context review — business, goals, current situation
Growth gap review — strategy, systems, marketing, intelligence gaps
Scope mapping — what needs to be done, what can wait
Risk & dependency check — client-side readiness, blockers, timeline
Budget range direction — rough investment logic, not a final quote
The Growth Scope Diagnostic is not a full strategy plan. It is a paid scoping exercise to define the right work before a proposal is prepared.

How It Works
Four steps.
One clear outcome.
The diagnostic follows a structured four-step sequence — from the free Fit Discovery Call through to the Scope Summary and Proposal Decision. Each step has a clear output. Nothing is skipped.
01
Fit Discovery Call
A free 30-minute call to check whether KE is the right partner for the challenge. We listen, evaluate fit, and determine whether a paid diagnostic is the right next step.
No detailed solutions
No advisory
Qualification only
Free · 30 minutes
02
Paid Diagnostic Session
KE reviews the real situation — business context, growth goals, current assets, gaps, risks, dependencies, and what the work actually involves. This is the paid thinking step.

Scope Summary
KE prepares the one-page scope summary — real problem, recommended scope, key gaps, rough investment logic, timeline notes, and a clear next-step direction. This document is yours.

04
Proposal Decision
Both sides review the scope summary and decide whether to proceed. If yes, KE prepares one scoped proposal. If not yet ready, we advise on what’s needed. If not a fit, we say so honestly.

Refine scope
Not the right fit
Free · 30 minutes
No step is skipped
The diagnostic only happens after a Fit Discovery Call. The proposal only happens after a Scope Summary. The sequence protects both sides.
Concrete outputs at every step
Each phase produces something tangible — a fit decision, a diagnostic review, a scope summary, or a proposal. Not just a conversation.
The scope summary is yours
Even if you don’t proceed with KE, the written scope summary belongs to you. It’s not a sales document — it’s a genuine diagnostic output.
Which Diagnostic Fits
Not all diagnostics
cover the same ground.
The scope of a diagnostic depends on what you are trying to do. Use the guide below to identify which diagnostic type fits your situation — pricing for each is in the Investment Guide below.
Most common
Type 01 · General
Growth Scope Diagnostic
For campaign scoping, website projects, focused execution, landing page builds, SEO and ads planning, or any growth initiative that doesn’t require a full GTM or system architecture.
Best for: SMEs, campaign launches, focused execution scopes
Type 02 · GTM
GTM Scope Diagnostic
For product launches, market entry, new offer architecture, or campaign launch planning where market positioning, channel strategy, funnel design, and launch sequencing all need to be scoped together.
Best for: New offers, market entry, campaign architecture
Type 03 · System
System Scope Diagnostic
For portal builds, CRM implementation, marketing automation, LMS development, dashboard systems, ticketing, booking platforms, or API integrations where technical scope, dependencies, and data architecture need proper mapping.
Best for: Portals, CRM, automation, dashboards, API builds
Type 04 · Enterprise / Govt

Investment Guide
Diagnostic fee depends on
what needs to be scoped.
The diagnostic fee reflects the depth of review required — not a fixed rate for everyone. More complex engagements require more thorough diagnosis. All fees may be credited where a project proceeds.

How the diagnostic fee works
The diagnostic fee is charged upfront before any scoping work begins. It reflects the depth of review required — not a fixed rate for every situation.
The fee may be credited against the project value where applicable, if the project proceeds within the agreed period, value, and scope.
The diagnostic fee is non-refundable because the review and scope summary are delivered regardless of whether the project proceeds. The one-page scope summary produced during the diagnostic is yours to keep and use

Credit terms: Diagnostic fee may be credited where applicable if the project proceeds within the agreed period, value, and scope. Credit percentage varies by diagnostic tier and project value — confirmed in the scope summary.
What Happens After
Three possible
outcomes. All honest.
After the scope summary is delivered, both sides review it and decide how to proceed. There are three possible outcomes — and KE will be direct about which one applies.
Outcome 01
Proceed to Proposal
Both sides agree on the scope summary. The challenge is clear, the work is defined, and KE is the right partner to execute. KE prepares one scoped proposal and one revision, based strictly on the diagnostic output.
What KE does next: Prepares a scoped proposal within the agreed timeline. One revision included if scope stays consistent.
Outcome 02
Refine Scope First
The diagnostic reveals that more information, internal alignment, or preparation is needed before a proposal can be accurate. This is not a failure — it means the diagnostic did its job. KE advises on exactly what needs to happen before the next step.
What KE does next: Provides specific guidance on what’s needed — and offers to reconvene once those conditions are met.
Outcome 03
Not the Right Fit
If the diagnostic concludes that KE is not the right partner for the scope — because of budget mismatch, capability fit, market conditions, or any other honest reason — KE will say so directly. No proposal is prepared where fit isn’t there.
What you keep: The one-page scope summary belongs to you regardless of outcome. It is a genuine diagnostic output, not a sales document.
The diagnostic fee is not a deposit. It pays for KE’s time, thinking, and the scope summary — regardless of which outcome follows. If the project proceeds, the fee may be credited. If it doesn’t, you still own the output.

KE’s Commercial Principle
The scope of a diagnostic depends on what you are trying to do. Use the guide below to identify which diagnostic type fits your situation — pricing for each is in the Investment Guide below.
Principle 01
Free discovery
is for fit.
The Fit Discovery Call checks whether KE is the right partner. No solutions, no advisory, no scope estimates. Just an honest assessment of whether the engagement makes sense.
Principle 02
Paid diagnostic
is for thinking.
Reviewing the real situation — goals, gaps, risks, dependencies, and what the work actually involves — is professional work. It earns a fee because it produces a concrete, useful output.
Principle 03
Proposal is for
committed prospects.
KE prepares one proposal, based on the diagnostic scope summary. The brief is defined. The scope is clear. The proposal is accurate — not a guess dressed up in a deck.
Where the Diagnostic Can Lead
The diagnostic is
the entry point.
Here is what it unlocks.
A scope summary doesn’t just define the immediate project — it maps the growth system your business needs. These are the services the diagnostic most commonly leads to.
