What it is
A Partnership is what happens after the finding, when the system will not sit still.
Commercial-system constraints change as a company moves between growth stages, and a diagnosis of them has a shelf life. A Partnership re-reads the system on an agreed cycle, carries the interventions through with the people inside it, and measures each cycle against its own baseline. Not an adviser who recommends. Not a seat you rent by the hour.
It runs on a six-month term. The term ends: a partnership that cannot end has stopped being useful, and the capability transferred each cycle is the row that decides whether it is still earning its place.
The shape
What "fractional CRO" was reaching for.
Fractional leadership became normal because growing companies learned that a full-time seat is not the same as a working commercial system. So they rent part of a person.
The idea is right and the basis is wrong. A fractional CRO is priced against a seat and sent to run the function. A Partnership is priced against a measured loss and sent to change the system the function runs on, with the diagnostic establishing that measurement before anything is agreed, and the capability built into your own leaders rather than rented indefinitely.
| Role | Sent by | Sent to |
|---|---|---|
| Fractional CRO | A seat, part-time | Run the commercial function, priced by the hours in the seat |
| Interim leader | A person, until the hire | Hold the function together while the permanent seat is filled |
| Partnership | Kihon Labs | Keep the system read, changed and measured, cycle after cycle, then leave the capability behind |
The condition
Why we will not sell it cold.
It only works when a baseline exists. That is why a Partnership follows a Diagnosis, or opens with one, and why the first question we ask is not what you want owned continuously, but what the evidence already says is breaking and what it is costing. A contained problem with a clear location is usually better served by one of the narrower engagements, and the first call says so.

FAQ
Partnership FAQs.
Is this a fractional CRO arrangement?
It is close in shape and different in basis. A fractional CRO is priced against a seat and runs the function. A Partnership is priced against a measured loss and changes the system the function runs on, and the diagnostic is what establishes that measurement before anything is agreed.
How much does a Partnership cost, and how does it compare?
€7,500 a month on a six-month term, so €45,000 for the term, with the recurring diagnosis included in the monthly fee rather than added to it. A seat is priced for its hours; this is priced for the cycle, and the term ends.
Do I need to start with a Diagnosis?
A baseline is established before recurring review, so later cycles can be compared with supported evidence. Where a Diagnosis has been done, it is the baseline; where it has not, the first cycle opens with one.
What if we want to stop?
Cycles are reviewed at agreed intervals, and the capability built into your team is designed to make the practice unnecessary rather than permanent. A partnership that cannot end has stopped being useful.
Is training included, or separate?
Included. Leadership training and coaching sit inside Partnership rather than being sold alongside it, because capability that is not embedded does not survive the engagement.
