This retainer is not a standalone service. It is available only to clients who have successfully completed The Fix (both The Unravelling Map™ and The Overboard Protocol™).

Our work together proved the need for deeper structural repair. This retainer is for leaders who choose to fix the system that caused the crisis, not just resolve the dispute.

You engage The Second Brain™ when you want to:

• Prevent Relapse: You recognise that structural fragility remains and want to ensure the fire doesn't reignite.
• Embed Resilience: You want to formalise the Dispute risk protocols and Exit planning frameworks we designed.
• Maintain Access: You want continued, on-demand access to a calm, commercial operator who has courtroom-tested foresight and understands your business intimately.

The ROI: From Crisis Cost to Prevention Investment

Your Fix & Future report quantified the real Cost of Dysfunction —the estimated $ in margin collapse, $ in delayed decisions, and $ in "leadership stress" that the crisis cost you.

The Second Brain™ retainer is not a cost. It is a fixed-scope investment to prevent that multi-six-figure problem from ever happening again.

Like all our services, this retainer is a fixed-fee engagement, never hourly billing, to align our interests with yours.

What This Service Delivers

This is the structural and strategic work that allows a business to be "not just successful, but fulfilling to run".

1. Proactive Structural Audits We attack the system, not the symptoms. We move from being reactive to proactive, using regular "Unravelling Map™ check-ins" to catch brewing issues and fix systemic breaks before they escalate.
2. A Calm, Commercial Sounding Board When emotional dependency shows up or a new, high-stakes situation emerges, you have direct access to a calm in the storm. We navigate the emotional complexity without losing commercial rigour.
3. Embedded Resilience & Governance We move from The Fix to the Future. We work with you to embed the structural solutions we designed, such as a signed authority matrix or documented handover playbooks, ensuring the structural relief is permanent.

This Is Our Final Phase

This retainer demonstrates our commitment to long-term, systemic solutions, not just one-off crisis interventions.

However, our process always begins with triage. If you are a new client, your journey must start with The Unravelling Map™ to move "From Fog to Facts".
