Strategic Clarity Session

The Strategic Clarity Framework™

Methodology Overview

Phase 2: Implicit Analysis (30 minutes)

Examine the invisible structure creating paralysis:

Second-Order Dynamics

• Unintended consequences and cascading effects

• Long-term implications beyond immediate impact

• Systemic effects not visible in surface analysis

Competing Priorities Diagnosis

• Multiple goals that can't all be satisfied

• Trade-offs that haven't been explicitly weighted

• Values conflicts disguised as analytical questions

Constraint Identification

• Misaligned incentives creating hidden resistance

• Unexamined assumptions operating invisibly

• Structural limitations not honestly acknowledged

• Cognitive biases affecting perception

Deliverable: Diagnosis of specific decision-blocking factors

Phase 3: Integration & Resolution (30 minutes)

Synthesize both layers into actionable clarity:

Resolution Pathway Development

• How explicit options map to implicit constraints

• What needs to shift for decision resolution

• Concrete next steps addressing both layers

• Framework for validating options

Decision Support Tools

• Custom criteria matrix for your situation

• Questions to test each option

• Signals indicating alignment or misalignment

Deliverable: Structured pathway forward with decision tools

Phase 1: Explicit Mapping (30 minutes)

Map the visible layer of your decision with precision:

Strategic Options Analysis

• All options currently on the table

• Stated constraints and requirements

• Available data and existing analysis

• Key trade-offs and implications

• Stakeholder considerations

Deliverable: Clear visual map of your strategic landscape

• Both explicit and implicit layers mapped

• You can reference this indefinitely

2. Structured Analysis Process

• Pattern recognition you can't access from inside

• Specific identification of decision blockers

• Clear articulation of what's creating paralysis

3. Resolution Framework

Session Structure in Detail

When You Book:

• Receive confirmation with session link

• Pre-session preparation framework sent

• Brief questionnaire to organize your thinking

Preparation Framework (takes 30-45 minutes):

You'll prepare brief notes on:

1. Your Current Crossroads

   • What decision/situation you're facing

   • What options are on the table

   • Why this matters (stakes, implications)

2. Analysis Completed

   • What research/analysis you've already done

   • Data you've gathered

   • Advice you've received

3. What Hasn't Resolved It

   • Why analysis hasn't led to decision

   • Where you feel stuck

   • What feels misaligned

4. Constraints & Considerations

   • Timeline pressures

   • Resource limitations

   • Stakeholder dynamics

   • Risk tolerance

I review your preparation before the session so we maximize the 90 minutes.

Before the Session

After the Session

Minutes 0-10: Situation Grounding

• You present your crossroads in detail

• I ask clarifying questions

• We establish the decision landscape

• Begin live clarity mapping

Minutes 10-40: Explicit Layer Analysis

Structured mapping of visible factors:

• All strategic options clearly articulated

• Constraints and requirements documented

• Trade-offs and implications examined

• Data and analysis integrated

• What you already know, organized clearly

Output: You see your situation structured with precision

Minutes 40-70: Implicit Layer Diagnosis

Deep analysis of invisible structure:

• Second-order dynamics and cascading effects

• Competing priorities and unweighted trade-offs

• Misaligned incentives and hidden resistance

• Unexamined assumptions and cognitive biases

• Structural constraints creating paralysis

This is where breakthrough happens:

• I see patterns you can't from inside your situation

• We identify the specific blockers conventional analysis missed

• The source of your paralysis becomes clear

Output: Understanding of what's actually creating the stuck feeling

Minutes 70-85: Integration & Resolution

Bringing both layers together:

• How explicit options map to implicit constraints

• What's blocking decision resolution

• What needs to shift in each layer

• Concrete next steps addressing both

• Framework for moving forward with confidence

Output: Resolution pathway and decision tools

Minutes 85-90: Summary & Deliverables Overview

• Recap key insights and breakthrough moments

• Confirm understanding of blockers and pathway

• Preview what you'll receive in 24 hours

• Questions and clarifications

During the Session (90 Minutes)

No ongoing dependency:

• You have everything needed to move forward

• Framework applies to future decisions

• Can return for new crossroads if needed

Important: I guarantee structured clarity and professional deliverables - not that you'll make a specific decision. Resolution comes from understanding, not prescription.

Payment & Booking Process

Decision paralysis costs:

• Time: 1 month of delay on €100K decision = ~€8K opportunity cost

• Mental energy: Weeks of circular thinking and stress

• Relationships: Pressure on team/family from your indecision

• Confidence: Eroding self-trust from prolonged stuck state

One session providing clarity:

• Resolves weeks/months of paralysis

• Framework applies to future decisions

• Professional deliverables you reference long-term

• ROI if it accelerates your decision by even 2 weeks

Compared to:

• Business coaching: €150-300/hour, ongoing commitment

• Strategy consulting: €200-500/hour from established firms

• Therapy: €100-200/hour, not focused on business decisions

• Opportunity cost of continued paralysis: Often 10-50× the session cost

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from business coaching?

Coaching provides ongoing accountability, motivation, and framework application. This is one-time professional consulting focused specifically on decision paralysis - with concrete deliverables, not ongoing relationship.

Do I need multiple sessions?

Most people need one session for a specific crossroads. Some return for different decisions later. I don't sell packages because each decision should stand alone.

Can you guarantee I'll make a decision?

I guarantee you'll understand what's blocking your decision and have a structured pathway to resolution. Whether you act on it is your choice - but the clarity enables action.

What if I'm not satisfied?

If after the session you feel you didn't get value, I'll refund 50% (you still receive the deliverables). This has never happened - but the option exists.

Is this confidential?

Completely. I don't share any client information, use situations as examples (without identifying details), or discuss your crossroads with anyone.

Can my business partner/spouse join the session?

If the decision directly involves them, yes - but prep work becomes more complex. Discuss in diagnostic call.

Do you work with teams/companies?

Currently focused on individual decision-makers. For organizational decisions, different scope/pricing applies - contact me directly.

What if I need help implementing the decision after?

The session gives you the clarity and framework - implementation is on you. If you need ongoing support, we can discuss separate engagement.

Next Steps

About the Consultant

I am, Karolis Markevičius, a strategic consultant specializing in decision paralysis for capable professionals.

Background:

• 200+ strategic consultation hours

• Built ventures from zero to revenue

• Background in AI strategy, systems thinking, decision science

• Based in Lithuania/Italy, serving clients across Europe and globally

Why I focus on this: Through business consulting, I discovered the most valuable work wasn't implementing solutions - it was helping capable people resolve decision paralysis by seeing implicit constraints they couldn't access from inside their situations.

Final Note

This Isn't For Everyone

Strategic Clarity Sessions serve a specific need: decision paralysis for capable professionals with material stakes.

If that's not you right now, this investment doesn't make sense.

If it is you - if you're stuck despite being smart and informed, if analysis hasn't resolved it, if something beyond logic is creating the block - then structured clarity work might be exactly what unlocks forward movement.
