ADVISORY
Product-level decision clarity ahead of regulatory implementation
This advisory is founder-led by Henrietta Szakonyi and works closely with product teams facing regulatory and structural change. Work begins before companies invest in new systems, processes, or remade structures — when clarity is needed on what to develop, adjust, reduce, or stop.
WHY ACT NOW
Regulatory, material, and market pressure on product decisions is increasing — for products still in development, and for stock that already exists. Early decisions determine whether future repair, remade, and compliance costs stay manageable, or become structural. The same logic applies whether that decision is still open, or already sitting in a warehouse.
One method, two moments: before a product exists, and after it didn't sell
Product Futures Check
UPSTREAM — before it's locked in
One core product, the kind that returns every season. A structured second opinion, not a redesign.
WHEN THIS IS USEFUL
A carry-over decision is due: keep it, adjust it, or replace it
A material or construction choice already shipped, and no one has calculated what it costs under current fee rules
The same complaint keeps appearing at the same point
A regulation lands and someone asks whether the core range is exposed
YOU RECEIVE
The actual fee exposure this decision creates — a number, not a score
One of three clear outcomes: On Track, One Decision to Revisit, or Direction Needs Rethinking
Which lever actually moves the number for this product — construction, material, or commercial — not a generic checklist
The reasoning in writing — for when someone asks later why this was decided
Not limited to this decision window: the reasoning carries into the next core-product cycle too.

Surplus Recovery Assessment
DOWNSTREAM — after it didn't sell
One product. A decision between several possible paths, not a design study.
WHAT YOU GET
Why it underperformed — read from your own sell-through and return data
Concrete intervention variants: Repositioned, Made to Last, Reconstructed
Visuals, estimated time and cost per piece
One clear recommendation, including how to split stock across paths
REALITY CHECK
"We won't recommend producing a new collection's worth of stock. The goal is solving today's surplus without creating tomorrow's."
