BUSINESS DIAGNOSTICS FOR SUCCESS


Before you spend more, do more or build more, work out what your business actually needs.

Focused commercial diagnostics designed to answer the big questions: Is this idea viable? Where are you leaving money on the table? What's missing? Where should you invest? And what should you do next? See below for a range of packages suited to where you’re at in your business.

You've got the idea. But is it actually a good one?

Before you spend months (and potentially thousands) bringing an idea to market, let's find out whether there's actually a business in it.

Ripe or Rotten? puts your business or product idea through a commercial reality check, looking at the market, competition, positioning, pricing, audience and potential opportunities.

Perfect for: founders, start-ups, new products and those 2am “I've got a fucking brilliant idea” moments.

THE DETAIL

Ripe or Rotten? is an independent commercial reality check designed to help you pressure-test your idea before you throw serious time and money at bringing it to market.

We'll look at the opportunity objectively: the market, customer, competition, positioning, pricing, commercial potential and the gaps or risks you might not have considered.

And we'll tell you what we genuinely think.

No emotional attachment.

No telling you what you want to hear.

No trying to sell you a $50,000 launch campaign afterwards.

Just one question: is your idea Ripe... or Rotten?

WHAT WE'LL LOOK AT

Depending on your idea, our review may explore:

The Idea
What exactly are you selling, what problem does it solve and is the proposition clear?

The Customer
Who would actually buy it, why would they care and is there a genuine reason for them to choose it?

The Market
Is there evidence of demand and what is happening within the wider category?

The Competition
Who already does something similar, how are they positioned and where could your opportunity sit?

Positioning
What makes your idea different, relevant or commercially interesting?

Pricing + Packaging
How you're thinking about charging for it and whether there may be stronger ways to structure the offer.

Revenue Potential
How the idea could make money and whether there are additional revenue opportunities worth considering.

The Gaps
What hasn't been considered yet? What could derail the idea? What needs validating before you invest further?

The Opportunities
Other audiences, applications, partnerships, products, services or directions the original idea could potentially lead to.

And finally...

Our verdict.

RIPE, NOT RIPE YET... OR ROTTEN?

We're not here to destroy your dreams.

But we're also not here to blindly validate them.

Your idea might be:

RIPE

There's a commercially interesting opportunity here and we'd keep exploring it.

NOT RIPE YET

There's something in it, but parts of the proposition need more work, research or validation before we'd invest heavily.

ROTTEN

We've identified significant commercial issues that we'd want you to seriously consider before investing further.

And occasionally the answer might be:

The original idea isn't quite right... but while looking at it, we've spotted something potentially much better.

Those are our favourite ones.

WHAT YOU'RE BUYING

Your Ripe or Rotten? diagnostic includes:

Comprehensive Pre-Review Questionnaire
Tell us about your idea, the problem you're solving, your intended customers, pricing, competitors, plans and what you've already done.

Independent Research + Commercial Review
We'll investigate the market, competition, positioning and commercial landscape around your idea.

Commercial Opportunity Analysis
We'll look for strengths, weaknesses, gaps, risks and opportunities you may not have considered.

Pricing + Positioning Considerations
We'll assess how you're thinking about taking the idea to market and where we'd challenge or refine your approach.

Your Ripe or Rotten? Verdict
Our independent view of where the idea currently stands and what we'd do next.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU PURCHASE?

1. COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE

Purchase Ripe or Rotten? here and you'll receive confirmation of your order.

2. COMPLETE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE

We'll send you your Ripe or Rotten? questionnaire by email.

This is where you tell us everything.

The idea. The audience. The numbers. What you've researched. What you've already built. What you're worried about. And what you're hoping this thing could become.

Don't try to sell us the idea. Give us the truth.

The better the information you give us, the more useful our review can be.

3. WE DO THE DIGGING

Once we've received your completed questionnaire, we'll review your submission and conduct our independent research and commercial analysis.

4. YOU GET THE VERDICT

We'll deliver our findings, recommendations and Ripe or Rotten? verdict, including what we believe you should investigate, validate, change or consider next.

A QUICK REALITY CHECK

Ripe or Rotten? is a commercial diagnostic, not a guarantee that a business will succeed or fail.

Nobody can promise that.

Businesses are affected by execution, funding, timing, market conditions, competition, management and about 400 other things nobody can perfectly predict.

What we CAN give you is an experienced, independent commercial perspective before you make bigger decisions about where to invest your money and time.

Because spending a little money discovering an idea needs work is significantly cheaper than spending a bloody fortune discovering it after you've launched.

READY FOR THE VERDICT?

You've thought about it enough.

Let's find out what you've actually got.

Is your idea Ripe or Rotten?

Got a brilliant business idea? Let’s find out if it actually has legs.

An independent commercial reality check of your idea, market, competition, customer, positioning, pricing and potential — before you invest serious time and money bringing it to life.

The Ripe Opportunity Audit The Ripe Opportunity Audit
Quick View
The Ripe Opportunity Audit
$950.00

You know your business. We find the opportunities you're too close to see.

You've built the business.

You know what you sell, who buys it, how it works and probably every weird little workaround keeping the whole thing moving.

But when you're inside a business every single day, it can be bloody difficult to see it from the outside.

What aren't you seeing?

The Ripe Opportunity Audit is an independent commercial deep dive designed to uncover the revenue opportunities, gaps and potential directions hiding inside your existing business.

You tell us everything.

We do the digging.

Then we spend 90 minutes together exploring one very simple question:

Where are you leaving money and opportunity on the table?

WHAT WE'LL LOOK AT

Every business is different, so we don't go into your audit with a predetermined checklist of things we're hoping to sell you afterwards.

We're looking for opportunity.

Depending on your business, that might include:

Untapped Revenue Streams
Are there other ways your business could be making money?

Products + Services
Could you introduce something new, remove something unprofitable, package things differently or turn something you already do into another offer?

Pricing + Packaging
Are you charging appropriately? Could products or services be bundled, repositioned or structured differently?

Existing Customers
Could your customers buy more, buy something else, buy more frequently or stay with you longer?

New Customers + Markets
Are there customer segments, industries, locations or markets you haven't considered?

Upsell + Cross-Sell Opportunities
What else could your existing customers logically need from you?

Partnerships
Who already has the customers, audience, distribution, credibility or capabilities that could help you grow?

Underused Assets
Are you sitting on a database, expertise, intellectual property, equipment, technology, content, premises, relationships or an audience that isn't being properly utilised?

Positioning
Does the market understand what you do, why it matters and why they should choose you?

Sales + Customer Journey
Where could leads, customers or revenue be falling through the cracks?

Marketing
Are you investing in the right things — and are there opportunities you're currently overlooking?

The Bigger Picture
Could this business become something you haven't considered yet?

SOMETIMES THE BEST OPPORTUNITY ISN'T MORE MARKETING.

You might not need more leads.

You might need to make more from the customers you already have.

You might be undercharging.

You might have a service that could become a product.

A product that could become a subscription.

Expertise that could become training.

A predominantly B2C offer with a much bigger B2B opportunity.

A database you've barely touched.

A partnership that could put you in front of thousands of potential customers.

Or an idea sitting in the “one day” pile that deserves to be moved to the top.

Sometimes growth isn't about doing more. It's about seeing more.

WHAT YOU'RE BUYING

Your Ripe Opportunity Audit includes:

Comprehensive Business Questionnaire
We'll get under the hood of your business model, products and services, customers, pricing, revenue streams, sales, marketing, capacity, challenges and ambitions.

Independent Commercial Review
We'll review your responses and research your business before we meet.

Revenue + Opportunity Analysis
We'll specifically look for commercial gaps, untapped revenue, new markets, products, pricing, partnerships and other potential growth opportunities.

90-Minute Private Opportunity Session
We'll take you through what we've found, challenge some of your current thinking and explore the strongest opportunities together.

Clear Priorities
We'll help you identify which opportunities we believe deserve further investigation and where we'd focus next.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU PURCHASE?

1. COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE

Purchase The Ripe Opportunity Audit here and you'll receive confirmation of your order.

2. COMPLETE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE

We'll send you your detailed Ripe Opportunity Questionnaire by email.

This is where you tell us everything.

What you sell. What you charge. Where the money comes from. Who buys. What's profitable. What's not. What's working. What's driving you mad. What you've tried. What you've thought about trying. And where you'd ultimately like the business to go.

Don't give us the polished version. Give us the real one.

The more we understand about what's actually happening inside your business, the more useful we can be.

3. WE GO DIGGING

Once we've received your completed questionnaire, we'll independently review and research your business.

We'll look at what you're doing.

We'll look at what you're not doing.

We'll question things you've probably stopped questioning.

And we'll start looking for the money and opportunities you might be missing.

4. BOOK YOUR 90-MINUTE SESSION

Once our initial review is complete, we'll arrange your private 90-minute online Opportunity Session.

We'll take you through what we've found, throw ideas around, challenge assumptions and explore the opportunities we believe have the strongest commercial potential.

This isn't a presentation.

It's a working session about your business and where it could go next.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Ripe Opportunity Audit is designed for owners of established businesses who know there's more potential in what they've already built.

It could be right for you if:

Your business is performing well but growth has plateaued.

You want to increase revenue or profitability but aren't sure where to focus.

You're considering new products, services or markets.

You have plenty of ideas but don't know which ones are commercially worth pursuing.

You want to generate more value from your existing customers.

You're spending money on marketing but wondering whether that's actually where the opportunity lies.

You've become so close to the business that you need somebody completely objective to look at it.

Or you simply have that nagging feeling:

“There has to be more we could be doing with this business.”

There probably is.

Let's find it.

WHAT THIS ISN'T.

This isn't somebody spending 90 minutes telling you to post more on Instagram.

It's not a generic business coaching session.

It's not a templated growth plan.

And we're not going to promise to 5X your profit overnight without spending a dollar on advertising — via an ad we paid money to show you.

This is an independent commercial review.

We research.

We question.

We challenge.

We look for possibilities.

And then we tell you what we genuinely think.

A QUICK REALITY CHECK

The Ripe Opportunity Audit identifies potential commercial opportunities based on the information available to us, our independent research and more than two decades of marketing and commercial experience.

It isn't a guarantee that implementing an idea will generate a particular amount of revenue or profit.

Any opportunity still needs to be considered against your financial position, operational capacity, market conditions and appetite for investment.

Our job is to help you see what you might not be seeing — and identify which opportunities we believe are worth exploring further.
