6 firm-native archetypes

Every failure pattern has a name and a fix.

Resources
Bench Accumulation
Hiring ahead of demand, no bench-to-billable playbook. Overhead eats margin.
Resources
Hourly Addiction
90% revenue from T&M, 26% discount off rack rate. Pricing upside-capped.
Guidance
Senior Partner Bottleneck
Top 2 partners drive 65% of new business. Three-month absence stops growth.
Implementation
Scope Creep Default
Realisation 74%, change orders informal, 40% of engagements exceed timeline.
Implementation
Proposal Factory
Win rate 18%, 30+ proposals/quarter without ICP filter. Partner time bleeds.
Performance
Client Concentration
Top client 41% of revenue. Bad renewal loses 40%+ of revenue in one stroke.
