Our Solutions
Three engagements.
Each with a purpose.
Otterwick offers three defined consulting services. Each is scoped, priced, and time-bound — designed to answer a specific question your business needs answered.

How Otterwick structures its consulting work
Structured discovery
We begin each engagement by understanding the client's context thoroughly before forming any views. Documents, data, and conversations with key personnel all inform the analysis.
Evidence-based analysis
Recommendations are derived from what the available evidence shows. Where data is incomplete or ambiguous, we say so — and explain how that affects the confidence level of the finding.
Actionable output
Every engagement ends with a deliverable that the client team can use directly — not a report that requires a separate engagement to interpret or implement.
Contract Portfolio Review
Many companies reach a stage where their contract management practices have not kept pace with their growth. Agreements signed in earlier years may contain terms that were acceptable then but are unfavourable now. Key contracts may be approaching expiry without anyone tracking them. Renewal opportunities may be missed because no systematic review is in place.
The Otterwick Contract Portfolio Review addresses this directly. Over three weeks, we catalogue all material contracts with clients, suppliers, and partners. We identify unfavourable terms, flag expiration risks, and surface renegotiation opportunities. The output is a prioritised action register — each item with a recommended next step and a timeline for addressing it.
Deliverable
Prioritised contract action register with recommended steps
Timeline
Three weeks from engagement start
Fee
HK$3,500 (fixed)
Best suited for
Companies that have grown faster than their contract management
What is covered:
- Full catalogue of material contracts
- Key provisions and risk flags for each
- Expiry and renewal timeline
- Renegotiation opportunities ranked by impact
- Debrief session with lead consultant
Expansion Feasibility Study
Expanding into a new market, launching an additional product line, or opening further locations carries significant risk — particularly when the decision is driven by enthusiasm rather than structured analysis. The Otterwick Expansion Feasibility Study provides the structured analysis that should precede any major commitment of capital or management attention.
Over five weeks, we evaluate market size and dynamics, competitive positioning, capital requirements, and execution risk. We challenge assumptions, identify gaps in the available information, and deliver a clear go/no-go recommendation accompanied by supporting analysis and, where a go recommendation is given, a phased execution plan.
Deliverable
Go/no-go recommendation with supporting analysis and phased plan
Timeline
Five weeks from engagement start
Fee
HK$6,100 (fixed)
Best suited for
Businesses evaluating expansion before committing resources
What is covered:
- Market size and addressable opportunity
- Competitive dynamics and positioning
- Capital requirements and funding considerations
- Execution risk assessment
- Phased execution plan (if go recommendation)
Performance Measurement Design
Without a well-designed measurement system, businesses tend to track what is convenient rather than what is significant. Dashboards accumulate. Metrics multiply. But the connection between the numbers and strategic progress becomes unclear. Leaders find themselves managing reports rather than outcomes.
The Otterwick Performance Measurement Design engagement creates a balanced scorecard or KPI framework that is genuinely tailored to how your business operates. Over four weeks, working directly with your functional leaders, we select meaningful metrics, design clear reporting formats, and establish review cadences that drive accountability without creating bureaucratic overhead.
Deliverable
KPI framework, reporting dashboard design, review cadence plan
Timeline
Four weeks from engagement start
Fee
HK$4,000 (fixed)
Best suited for
Companies where measurement has outgrown their reporting systems
What is covered:
- Strategy-aligned KPI selection with functional leaders
- Dashboard design for operational reporting
- Review cadence and accountability structure
- Implementation guidance for internal adoption
- Debrief session with lead consultant

Across All Engagements
Shared standards and protocols
Data security
Client materials are handled under strict access controls aligned with ISO 27001 principles. No third-party sharing without explicit consent.
Quality review
All deliverables go through a peer review by a second consultant before delivery to the client. No single-point sign-off.
Client support
One business day response time for all client communications during an active engagement. No ticket systems, no routing — direct contact.
Compliance awareness
Analysis takes into account applicable Hong Kong law, including the Companies Ordinance, PDPO requirements, and relevant sector-specific regulation.
Not certain which engagement fits?
The introductory call is a low-stakes way to work through your situation and determine whether one of our engagements — or a combination — is the right approach. No obligation, thirty minutes.
