Continuous Diagnostics vs Periodic Consulting | In Parallel

Comparison

Continuous diagnostics vs periodic consulting

A management consulting review interviews a sample, writes a deck, and leaves. By the time you read it, the organisation has moved on. In Parallel diagnoses continuously.

In short

A consulting review interviews a sample of people and delivers a point-in-time deck. In Parallel Diagnostics scores ten lenses from 0 to 100 across Strategy, Execution, People and Risk, based on every meeting rather than a sample, with each score traceable to transcript evidence. The first run costs €25,000; continuous diagnosis costs €15,000 a quarter.

Updated

Periodic consulting

  • Point-in-time snapshot, stale on delivery
  • Based on a sample of interviews
  • Findings rest on the consultant’s judgement
  • Re-engage (and re-pay) for the next look
  • Recommendations land as a PDF, not a system

Continuous diagnostics

  • Always-current scoring across ten lenses
  • Based on every meeting, not a sample
  • Every score traceable to transcript evidence
  • Quarterly refresh with trend analysis
  • Findings wired into the shared record you already run

Ten lenses, scored 0–100

In Parallel Diagnostics scores strategic focus, decision quality, team health, risk escalation, and more — across the Strategy, Execution, People, and Risk domains. Not a survey of opinions: behavioural analysis of what actually happened in your meetings.

Evidence beats anecdote

Where a consultant’s finding rests on a memorable interview, an In Parallel score rests on the transcripts behind it. You can click from a number to the moment that produced it — which makes the diagnosis defensible to a board.

A service line, priced honestly

Diagnostics is a dedicated engagement: €25,000 for the first run — a full ten-lens analysis with a board-ready deliverable — and €15,000 per quarter for continuous diagnosis with trend analysis. Portfolio engagements are priced for cross-entity benchmarking.
