01 Discover

In 10 to 15 days, you know what it comes down to.

Discover is the stage for the moment when something is stuck and you want a finger on the exact spot before budget flows in the wrong direction. Within 10 to 15 days, a solid situation report is on the table that exposes the true cause, together with a 90-day plan with clear checkpoints.

A bottleneck analysis answers one question: what is actually holding you back? The symptom often sits in one place and the cause in another. Sales slows down, and the real reason lives in a process three steps upstream. Discover separates the two. We review your numbers, processes, roles and business model, talk with your key people, and lay out a situation report that shows you the bottleneck and why it keeps forming. This is the diagnosis before any action, and it builds the ground every later stage stands on.

Here is how we work: in the first conversation you speak with the same two founders who then build the situation report, Torsten and Luay. We combine a close read of leadership, communication and people with a close read of processes, numbers and digital operations. Where it helps, AI runs quietly in the background as a tool and works through data faster. Within 10 to 15 days we condense everything into a clear position report, written in the language of the owner's desk and ready to act on.

At the end you have it in black and white: where it is stuck, what that costs you, and which few levers will make the biggest difference over the next 90 days. The 90-day plan ranks each opportunity by impact and effort and sets measurable checkpoints at day 30, 60 and 90. You decide your next move with full clarity, and you can book any of the following stages with or without a Discover ahead of it. The situation report is the starting line for everything that follows.

What we do

  • Review numbers, processes, roles and the business model, and mirror them against what people inside the business tell us
  • Talk with the owner and key people to separate symptom from cause
  • Expose the root cause and pin down in numbers where the bottleneck shows itself
  • Rank opportunities by impact and effort and condense them into a few strong levers
  • Write a 90-day plan with measurable checkpoints at day 30, 60 and 90, and walk the situation report through with you

What you get

  • A documented situation report that names the real bottleneck and backs it with numbers
  • A prioritised list of levers, ranked by impact and effort, plus a rough read of what the bottleneck currently costs you
  • A 90-day plan with clear checkpoints for day 30, 60 and 90
  • A clear recommendation on which stage makes the difference next

Result

You decide your next steps with full clarity, because the cause sits proven in front of you and the 90-day plan shows you where to check progress at day 30, 60 and 90.

Common questions

  • How does a bottleneck analysis work?

    We review your numbers, processes, roles and business model and talk with the owner and the key people in the business. That root cause analysis separates symptom from cause and pins down in numbers where the bottleneck actually sits. Within 10 to 15 days your situation report is on the table, written in the language of the owner's desk.

  • What should a 90-day plan include?

    A solid 90-day plan names a few strong levers, ranked by impact and effort, and sets measurable checkpoints for day 30, 60 and 90. It stands on a clean business assessment: once the cause is proven, the plan carries. At Dyrective it comes built into the situation report and marks the starting line for the further stages of the 6D system.

  • How long does a business assessment take for a mid-sized company?

    Within 10 to 15 days you hold a solid situation report. It covers an operational review across processes, roles, KPIs and the business model, a read of what the bottleneck currently costs you, and the 90-day plan with clear checkpoints. Throughout, you speak with the same two founders, Torsten and Luay.

  • How much does a bottleneck analysis cost?

    Discover comes at a fixed price per stage, and we discuss the range openly in the first conversation, so you know where you stand before anything starts. The situation report also includes a read of what the bottleneck currently costs you, so you can set price and value side by side.
