Request a SAFI Diagnostic

The SAFI Diagnostic is built from eight years of work with more than 25,000 women-owned businesses. The same framework is now used by policy institutes and economic development organizations studying how to scale women-owned businesses globally. In 15 minutes, we apply it to yours.

You built a real business. Revenue is real. Clients respect your work.

And yet the business still runs on you: every sale, every decision, every delivery. In a market where your clients are tightening budgets and taking longer to decide, that is no longer just uncomfortable. It is exposure.

If that is familiar, the SAFI Diagnostic may be the right next step.

WHAT TYPICALLY SURFACES

Most of the women we speak with believe they have a lead generation problem, a pricing problem, or a hiring problem. In the majority of cases, those are symptoms. The real constraint is usually underneath them.

The SAFI Diagnostic is a 15-minute structured conversation designed to find it. Here is what we see most often:

Revenue is strong but unpredictable. You are closing at 50%, 60%, even 70% when you get the conversation. But nothing is producing those conversations consistently. Revenue comes in waves. Between waves, you start over.

Pricing is ad hoc. You scope every engagement differently. You have charged $30K for one project and $250K for another, and you cannot explain the logic for either. That makes it impossible to forecast, delegate, or build a sales process someone else can run.

You are trapped in delivery. Your client work is excellent. That is why they stay. But when you are inside delivery, business development stops. The contract ends and you are back to zero pipeline with no momentum.

The business is making real money. You are not. Revenue looks healthy on paper. Founder compensation does not reflect it, because there is no system for paying yourself before paying everything else.

You have invested before and it did not work. You hired a coach, a fractional COO, a consultant. They told you what to do but did not install anything. Or they optimized one area while the rest stayed the same. You are not skeptical by nature. You are skeptical because you have earned it.

If you recognized yourself in any of the above: that is precisely what the SAFI Diagnostic is designed to address.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DIAGNOSTIC

The diagnostic is conducted by a senior member of SAFI's advisory partnerships team. In 15 minutes, we will look at your revenue, your team, and the way the business currently runs, and identify whether the constraint you are experiencing is the one you think it is.

At the end, one of two things will happen.

If there is a fit, you will be invited into a full advisory consultation: a deeper conversation about your business and how we would work together.

If there is not a fit, we will tell you directly and provide a curated set of resources based on what we heard in the conversation.

Either way, you leave with more clarity than you came in with.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You run an established service business. You are the primary decision-maker. You have a track record with clients. Revenue is real. What is not yet real is the infrastructure that would let the business run without you in every seat.

You are not looking for a pep talk or a list of things to try. You want someone to look at the way your business is built and tell you what is true about it, including the parts you would rather not hear.
