Three journeys
From foundation to operating discipline.
For healthcare and government leaders moving AI commitments into operations. Building Working Strategy gets the foundation right. Acting on Strategy moves selected interventions through pilots that survive operations. Sustaining Strategic Discipline installs the cadence that keeps strategy running quarter over quarter.

Foundations your team can act on
You're here when you have a board-level AI mandate without a roadmap your executives can run from. Strategy lives on paper but no one in the organization can act on it. AI initiatives are bolted on without the business model logic to guide them. Pilots have been tried and none stuck.
Building Working Strategy
Foundations your team can act on
You're here when you have a board-level AI mandate without a roadmap your executives can run from. Strategy lives on paper but no one in the organization can act on it. AI initiatives are bolted on without the business model logic to guide them. Pilots have been tried and none stuck.
The shape of the work: Foundation engagements that produce the canonical artifacts — hypothesized at first, then validated through the right Strategyzer playbooks. Your team learns the methodology by doing the work. We facilitate; your team owns the output.
What you walk away with: A foundation your team can act on. A scored Business Model Canvas with KPI baselines. An AI Value Map tied to specific operational levers. A validated Customer Profile and Value Proposition Canvas for your priority segment. A Strategy Context File any LLM can ingest, so your AI tools operate with your strategy as constraint. An Internal Strategy Reference site your team navigates as their living strategy artifact.

From decisions on the table to decisions made well
You're here when you have major strategic decisions in flight — an AI investment choice, a vendor selection, a market entry, a partnership versus build versus buy — and you want to make them well. You may already have strategy artifacts. What you don't have is a repeatable way to run those decisions through a methodology that produces evidence and alignment instead of opinion and politics.
Acting on Strategy
From decisions on the table to decisions made well
You're here when you have major strategic decisions in flight — an AI investment choice, a vendor selection, a market entry, a partnership versus build versus buy — and you want to make them well. You may already have strategy artifacts. What you don't have is a repeatable way to run those decisions through a methodology that produces evidence and alignment instead of opinion and politics.
The shape of the work: Coaching-led sprints applied to your live decisions. Your team does the work. We bring the methodology, the production discipline that turns decisions into evidence, and the cadence. Each sprint runs 6–12 weeks; most clients run two or three over their first year.
What you walk away with: A live decision made with evidence, not opinion. An updated Strategy Context File fragment specific to the decision and its rationale. A Decision Coach prompt pack the team applies to the next decision. A growing Decision Audit Log that becomes institutional memory. The team's first internalization of how the methodology actually runs.
03 · Journey$15–35K per quarter · annual retainer · designed for multi-year continuation. Year 2 is deeper and lighter because the foundation and capability are already in place.Sustaining Strategic Discipline
A quarterly rhythm that keeps strategy current
You're here when you've built and activated, and now want strategy to be a continuous operating discipline rather than a periodic event. The annual offsite produces a deck irrelevant by Q2. Quarterly business reviews report on KPIs without revisiting whether the strategy that set those KPIs is still right. The market shifts faster than the planning cycle can catch.
Sustaining Strategic Discipline
A quarterly rhythm that keeps strategy current
You're here when you've built and activated, and now want strategy to be a continuous operating discipline rather than a periodic event. The annual offsite produces a deck irrelevant by Q2. Quarterly business reviews report on KPIs without revisiting whether the strategy that set those KPIs is still right. The market shifts faster than the planning cycle can catch.
The shape of the work: We co-facilitate the Strategy Delivery Cycle — five segments, two cross-cutting layers, one methods library — until your internal champions own it. The deliverable is not a deck; it is a cadence your leadership team runs without us.
What you walk away with: A quarterly cadence designed against your fiscal calendar. A Decision Audit Log with rationale and next review dates. Continuous Strategy Context File updates versioned across quarters. Co-facilitated cycles until your champions can lead solo. An annual State of the Strategy compilation pulling four quarters into one report for the board.
Foundation Programs
Three sizes. One playbook each. Foundational to whichever journey comes next.
Foundation Programs are scoped, fixed-price entry points built around the Strategyzer playbooks. Each program produces a hypothesized canvas your team owns, an LLM-readable Strategy Context File your AI tools can ingest, and an activating digital artifact your team uses after the program ends. Built for teams of 3 to 8 from a single organization. Fully remote. Fixed time, fixed scope, fixed activities, fixed price.
Each program is run by a Strategyzer-certified coach with healthcare AI domain expertise. The methodology is canonical Strategyzer; the application is healthcare-AI specific — current regulatory environment, vendor landscape, and pilot-to-operations patterns are embedded throughout, not added as a separate module.
01 · Program$18,500 CADFocused Foundation Program
4 weeks · One playbook · One canvas your team owns
Focused Foundation Program
4 weeks · One playbook · One canvas your team owns
You're here when you want to test the methodology on a tightly scoped foundation question — a single hypothesized canvas, one focused decision, or one product or segment that needs the work first. Often the right size when a team is new to Strategyzer methodology and wants a defined, low-risk first engagement.
The shape of the work
- Kick-off (60 min live)
- Async pre-work (~2 hours per participant)
- Workshop 1 (3 hours live)
- Async applied work (~2 hours per participant)
- Workshop 2 (3 hours live)
- Activating artifact build (1 week, asynchronous)
- Handoff session (60 min live)
Total team time: ~14 hours over 4 weeks (7 hours synchronous, the rest async applied work and the handoff).
What you walk away with: A hypothesized canvas your team owns and validates afterward. A Strategy Context File fragment any LLM can ingest. An interactive single-page reference artifact populated with your team's content. A clear next move — typically into a Building or Acting journey.
Foundation programs build the substrate; Journey engagements consume it to make decisions.

Standard Foundation Program
6 weeks · One playbook · Hypothesis tested with light evidence
You're here when you want a complete playbook execution with light evidence-gathering — customer interviews, competitive analysis, or other validation work — built into the program. The default size for most teams. Substantial enough to produce a foundation you can build a journey on; scoped enough that the commitment is bounded and decision-grade.
The shape of the work
- Kick-off (60 min live)
- Async pre-work (~3 hours per participant)
- Workshop 1 (4 hours live)
- Async applied work with light evidence-gathering (~4 hours per participant, including 1–2 customer interviews where relevant)
- Coaching checkpoint (60 min live)
- Workshop 2 (4 hours live)
- Async applied work (~3 hours per participant)
- Workshop 3 (3 hours live)
- Activating artifact build (1 week, asynchronous)
- Handoff session (90 min live)
Total team time: ~22 hours over 6 weeks (13 hours synchronous, the rest async applied work and the handoff).
What you walk away with: A canvas with hypothesis status marked and initial evidence integrated. A Strategy Context File the team uses across AI tools to keep strategy live. An interactive multi-section reference artifact populated with your team's content. The team's first internalization of how the methodology runs end-to-end. A scoped pathway into Acting on Strategy, Building Working Strategy, or Sustaining Strategic Discipline.
Foundation programs build the substrate; Journey engagements consume it to make decisions.
03 · Program$37,500 CADExtended Foundation Program

Extended Foundation Program
8 weeks · Full playbook · Substantive evidence integration
You're here when you need substantive evidence-gathering integrated into the foundation work — multiple customer interviews, deeper competitive analysis, or portfolio work that requires extended divergent and convergent thinking. The right size when the foundation needs to carry the weight of a major decision being made downstream.
The shape of the work
- Kick-off (90 min live)
- Async pre-work (~4 hours per participant)
- Workshop 1 (4 hours live)
- Async applied work with evidence-gathering (~6 hours per participant, including 3+ customer interviews or extensive competitive analysis)
- Coaching checkpoint 1 (90 min live)
- Workshop 2 (4 hours live)
- Async applied work (~5 hours per participant)
- Coaching checkpoint 2 (90 min live)
- Workshop 3 (4 hours live)
- Async applied work (~3 hours per participant)
- Workshop 4 (3 hours live)
- Activating artifact build (1.5 weeks, asynchronous)
- Handoff session (2 hours live)
Total team time: ~30 hours over 8 weeks (18 hours synchronous, the rest async applied work and the handoff).
What you walk away with: A canvas with hypothesis status marked, substantive evidence integrated, and a clear strategic pathway identified. A comprehensive Strategy Context File covering the playbook output plus Domain Context (regulatory environment, vendor landscape, pilot-to-operations patterns specific to your situation). An interactive reference site section plus a Value Scene animation. The team's deep internalization of the methodology. A scoped pathway into a Building or Acting journey.
Foundation programs build the substrate; Journey engagements consume it to make decisions.
Focused programs: Typically run Idea Generation for Customer-Centric Growth.
Standard programs: Typically run Strong Value Propositions and Differentiation with Gen-AI or Competing on Business Models.
Extended programs: Run full-portfolio Competing on Business Models or multi-segment Strong Value Propositions with substantial evidence integration.
The right Strategyzer playbook and program size are matched to your team's situation in the Diagnostic Call. We'll discuss your foundational need, recommend the right playbook and program size, and confirm fit before any booking.
What you keep
Artifacts your team operates from — not decks that rot.
The default bundle every paid engagement produces.
Strategy Context File
A Markdown file any LLM ingests so your AI tools operate with your strategy as constraint.
Internal Strategy Reference Site
A living, multi-page site your team navigates like Confluence — populated with your content.
Value Scenes
30–90 second animations: moment of need, today, tomorrow. For town halls, boards, and pitches.
Other formats on request: Decision Coach prompt packs, Decision Audit Logs, Strategy Narrative Decks, Vital Signs dashboards, Operating Cadence calendars.

Where we sit
Strategy upstream of the build, instruments downstream of the boardroom.
Most AI advice falls into two camps — boardroom decks that don't survive contact with operations, or build-side help that solves the wrong problem cleanly. Level Perspective sits in the gap: business-model decisions made with practitioner instruments, then handed to your team to keep running.
Alternative
Big-firm consultancy
What they do well
Scale and brand cover at the board level.
Where we sit
Lighter touch. Artifacts your team owns and maintains after we leave.
Alternative
AI-vendor consultant
What they do well
Implementation depth on a chosen platform.
Where we sit
Upstream of procurement — deciding whether the vendor is the right answer at all.
Alternative
Fractional CTO
What they do well
Engineering execution and technical hiring.
Where we sit
Business-model decisions, not the build. The work and the artifacts are different.
Alternative
Transformation specialist
What they do well
Large-scale change management — moving thousands through a shift.
Where we sit
Deciding what the shift should be, with which levers, against which evidence. They take it from there.
We are the upstream decision practice — small, instrumented, transferable. Once we leave, the cadence stays.
If we sit where you need an advisor to sit, thirty minutes is the next move.
