Methodical execution
Comprehensive discovery sessions
We conduct a series of discovery sessions to dissect the central offering of our Proptech client's business, while capturing their business model, commercial traction and core values.
In-depth business assessment
After the discovery sessions we segregate different business functions and assess them with our Relevance, Excellence, and Preference (R-E-P) framework to score the current state.
Comparative analysis and insight
Employing past cases and data backed insight we compare the company's model and offering to existing examples by sector and model depending on applicability to the client’s value proposition.
