Service Diagnostic

Before You Compare — Identify What You Actually Need

Check each statement that applies to your current situation. Your results will shape which service tier we recommend below.

✓

Revenue plateau: Your business has hit a growth ceiling and existing strategies feel exhausted.

✓

Operational drag: Internal processes consume more time than client-facing work.

✓

Market repositioning: You need to shift your brand positioning or enter a new segment.

✓

Team scaling: You're hiring or restructuring and need systems that scale with headcount.

✓

Digital transformation: Your technology stack is outdated or fragmented across too many tools.

✓

Compliance pressure: New regulations or standards require structural changes to how you operate.

How We Approach Comparison — Not Just Features, But Fit

Most comparison pages list features in columns and let you guess. We built this page differently because the right service depends on where your business is, not what sounds impressive.

Our diagnostic checklist at the top of this page feeds into a recommendation engine. The more honestly you answer, the more precise the guidance. We've seen businesses overspend on Enterprise-tier services they didn't need, and underspend on Foundation when Growth was clearly warranted.

The matrix above is a static view. The real comparison happens in conversation — which is why we keep our initial consultations unstructured. No slide decks, no predetermined pitch. We listen, cross-reference against the diagnostic, and propose.

"We came in expecting to be sold the most expensive option. Instead, they recommended Foundation and told us to come back in six months. That honesty earned our trust." — R. Connolly, Dublin Retail

The Cost of Choosing Wrong

Businesses that select a service tier misaligned with their actual stage lose an average of eleven weeks before course-correcting. That's not a statistic we invented — it's drawn from our own engagement data across three years of client work in Ireland and the UK.

The diagnostic checklist exists because we got tired of fixing mismatched engagements. If you're unsure, that's the right starting point.

"After switching from a competitor's one-size-fits-all package, we recovered the time loss within the first month of working with CastPropulse." — T. Walsh, Cork Logistics

Decision Paths

Choose the path that mirrors your current priority. Each leads to a different entry point in our process.

I need clarity first

You're not sure what's broken or what to prioritise. Start with our Foundation audit — a 30-day diagnostic that maps your current state without committing to a long engagement.

Start with Foundation

I know the problem, need execution

You've identified the bottleneck but lack the internal capacity to fix it. Growth or Enterprise tiers provide hands-on implementation with measurable checkpoints.

Compare Growth vs Enterprise

I need a bespoke solution

Your situation doesn't fit a template. Custom engagements are scoped from scratch with no predetermined deliverables — only outcomes we agree on together.

Fit Assessment: Are We Right for You?

We don't work with everyone. Our services are built for businesses with existing revenue, existing teams, and existing problems — not startups seeking their first product-market fit.

If you have fewer than five employees, annual revenue below €200K, or are in pre-revenue stage, we'll refer you to partners better suited to your phase.
