A Brill Collective programme

Look Both Ways

You have built something that works. Now you are at a crossroads with how to grow it, and every direction sounds reasonable.

Look Both Ways is how we help you choose one. We test each option against the market outside the business, then against what the business can carry.

You finish with one direction, the reasons behind it, and a plan for the next 90 days.

The growth options founders bring us

Most founders arrive with four of these and no way to choose.

These are the directions people bring us. Each one is defensible on its own. Listing options takes an afternoon. Choosing one decides the year.

We put your list side by side and work out which one the market wants and the business can carry.

How it works

An opportunity is only worth taking if the business can carry it.

Outside In

Is the opportunity real?

MarketCustomerDemandCompetitionPositioningOpportunity

What the market wants, who would buy it, who else is already there, and how much demand there really is.

Inside Out

Can the business support it?

ModelMarginTeamOperationsCapacityLeadership priorities

What it does to the margin, who would run it, what it costs the team, and what you would have to drop to make room.

Run both views over the same option and you get one of five answers: stop it, fix it, double down on it, build it, or park it for now.

How do you want to use Look Both Ways?

The private programme

Our team comes in and does the work

We start by finding the problems, the ones you know about and the ones you do not. Then our team joins yours and carries the work through, from the decision to the rollout.

This is for businesses that want senior hands on it from day one. Scope and fee depend on the work, so we agree both on a call.
