For Consultants
"A consultant arrives with a defined scope and a deliverable. The value is expertise applied to a specific problem — quickly, precisely, and with enough professional distance to say what the people inside the organization cannot say. You are not there to be liked. You are there to be right. The problem is that most consulting engagements are aimed at the most visible expression of the governing constraint rather than the structural cause. The recommendation is correct. It is aimed at the symptom. The $89 Business Constraint Diagnostic identifies the structural cause before the scope is written — so the engagement is aimed at the right problem from the first conversation."
— Lawrence M. Schneider, Founder & CEO, Schneider Axiom Institute — Founder of U.S. Lock Corporation, now owned by The Home Depot
The $89 Business Constraint Diagnostic gives every consultant in every practice category a systematic written finding that names the governing constraint in their client's business — in 72 hours — before the scope is written around the symptom rather than the structural cause. Find your practice category below. Every page was written specifically for your consulting context.
Select Your Consulting Practice Category
Every category below links to a page written around the specific constraint patterns most common in that consulting context.
Management and Strategy Consultants
The recommendation was right. The implementation was faithful. The performance gap persists — because the governing constraint was never identified before the scope was written around it.
Growth and Revenue Consultants
The growth plan is working. The revenue ceiling has not moved. The governing structural constraint was never identified before the strategy was built around the symptom it is producing.
Sales Consultants
Sales is where the blame lands. The constraint governing the revenue ceiling is almost never in the sales function. The diagnostic identifies what is actually limiting results before the audit begins.
Marketing Strategists
The marketing is working. The revenue ceiling has not moved. The governing structural constraint was never identified before the budget was committed to the symptom it is describing.
Operations Consultants
The process improvement is working. The performance gap persists. The governing structural constraint was never identified before the improvement program was designed around the operational symptom.
CPA Firms, Accounting Practices and Exit Planning Advisors
Your client has brought you the same margin problem for four years. The financial statements show the symptom. The diagnostic gives you the systematic methodology to name the structural cause.
Business Law Attorneys and Legal Practices
You are resolving the legal expression of a structural business constraint. The constraint is still there. The diagnostic names it alongside the legal resolution — before it produces the next event.
Turnaround and Restructuring Professionals
The crisis is the financial expression of a structural constraint that has been in place for years. The diagnostic names the root cause before the restructuring plan is written around the symptom.
Executive Recruiters and Search Firms
You placed the right candidate. The structural constraint governing the role was never identified. The diagnostic names it before the search brief is written — so the placement succeeds.
Commercial Bankers
You see the financial stress before anyone else does. The governing structural constraint producing it has never been named. The diagnostic names it before the next quarterly review — not after the credit event.
The Engagement You Are About to Write Is on This List.
Every segment below links to a page built around the specific constraint patterns most common in that industry. Find your client's segment before the scope is written. The constraint that has been limiting their results has a structural name — and it is almost certainly not what they described in the brief.
Ready to Deploy the Methodology Professionally?
The $89 diagnostic gives you the structural finding for a single client engagement. The CAS and CAE give consultants a verifiable systematic diagnostic methodology that no competitor in your market currently holds — with Referral Network eligibility and the credential that makes the difference visible before the proposal is submitted.

Complete the $89 diagnostic on your own practice first. Every consultant who introduces the diagnostic from personal conviction closes the engagement differently than one who introduces it as a methodology. Experience it yourself before deploying it with a single client. Either path gives you the written structural finding that changes what every consulting engagement produces from this point forward.
Every category above leads to the same diagnostic. The constraint has a name. The report delivers it in writing, in 72 hours. Start with your category — or start with the diagnostic. Either path gives you the written structural finding that changes what every consulting engagement produces from this point forward.
