The $200K Consulting Engagement, Delivered in 2 Minutes
Traditional consulting takes weeks and costs $200K+. Fluxel delivers structured strategy reports using the same frameworks for a fraction of the cost.
The Economics Don't Work for Most Startups
A strategy engagement with a top consulting firm costs $150K-$500K and takes 6-12 weeks. For a seed-stage startup burning $50K/month, that's simply not an option. Even boutique firms charge $20K-$50K for a single strategy project. Fluxel delivers comparable frameworks and analysis starting at $9/month — making professional strategy accessible to every founder, not just those with deep pockets.
Same Frameworks, Different Delivery
Consulting firms don't have secret methodologies. They use TAM/SAM/SOM analysis, Porter's Five Forces, competitive positioning matrices, and financial modeling — the same 12 frameworks Fluxel offers. The difference is delivery: consultants take weeks, Fluxel takes minutes. Consultants deliver static PowerPoints, Fluxel delivers living documents you can refresh as your market evolves.
When You Still Need a Consultant
Fluxel isn't trying to replace every consulting engagement. For deep organizational transformation, complex M&A due diligence, or situations requiring extensive primary research with custom interviews, a consulting firm is the right choice. But for the 80% of strategy work that's framework application and market analysis, Fluxel delivers 90% of the value at 1% of the cost.
