RUSHMANS EDGEBRIEF

Your Hardest Question Deserves Better Than a Gut Feeling.

Most leaders have one decision that is blocking everything else. A strategic fork in the road where the stakes are too high to wing it, but you do not have the right environment to think it through clearly.

An EdgeBrief is a private intelligence session built around your single most important question. We run it through HTT, our proprietary decision intelligence system, a structured process that models how over 400 of the world’s leading strategic thinkers would approach your specific problem, audits for the cognitive biases most likely distorting your thinking, and applies proven decision frameworks to stress-test every option. The output is then shaped by 40 years of lived experience at the highest levels of commerce, sport, government, and diplomacy. We deliver a structured brief with findings, stress-tested options, and a clear recommended framework. Then we sit with you online for up to 90 minutes and work through it together.

What you get:
Your EdgeBrief document. Your question analysed through a proprietary expert-modelling process that draws on the thinking of 400+ curated strategists, economists, behavioural scientists, and practitioners, combined with cognitive bias correction and structured decision frameworks, all shaped by 40 years of lived strategic experience. This is not an opinion. It is traceable, expert-grounded intelligence. Delivered as a structured PDF before the session. A live briefing via Zoom, up to 90 minutes. We challenge your assumptions, surface the blind spots the brief has identified, stress-test your thinking, and agree a decision framework you can act on immediately.
Who it is for.
Senior leaders and founders facing a high-stakes decision where clarity matters and the cost of getting it wrong is significant.
From £5,000.
Delivered online.
Turnaround:
7 working days from intake.

In 45 minutes we will help you define the question that actually needs answering, establish whether we are the right people to help, and outline exactly what that help looks like. No pitch, no obligation. Just a focused conversation that has value in itself.

    Not sure if an EdgeBrief is for you? 
    These are the kinds of questions our clients bring us (before reframing):
    • Two members of my leadership team are pulling the business in opposite directions. How do I resolve it without losing either?
    • What major changes and challenges are we likely to face in the next three and five years?
    • Are we (truly) indispensable to the future of our customers, or have we just become (exceptionally) highly optimised for a market that stopped growing three years ago?
    • Our current operating model is so efficient/effective that it has completely killed our ability to adapt. How do we (deliberately) break our own successful (blind) machinery before a competitor does it for(to) us? 
    • We have built a management system that punishes courage and rewards compliance. What is the actual (unmeasured) financial cost of forcing our best people to leave their brains at the door every morning?
    • If we stripped away all our dashboards, best practices, and automated processes tomorrow, do our leadership team still know how to make a difficult, entirely original strategic decision?
    • We have been approached about an acquisition. Should we sell, and if so, on what terms?
    • Our biggest competitor just made a move that changes the market. How do we respond?
    • I have been in the role 90 days and inherited a strategy I do not believe in. What do I do now?
    • We are growing faster than our structure can handle. What breaks next and how can we avoid it?
    • Our board wants a robust growth plan within 60 days. Where do I start?
    • A key partnership is failing. Do we fix it, replace it, or walk away?
    • AI is reshaping our sector and we have no position on it. What should our move be?
    • We lost a bid we expected to win. What went wrong, and do we go again?
    • We are sitting on IP we have never commercialised. Is it worth anything?
    • We have been approached with a JV offer from a much larger partner. Is it an opportunity or a trap?
    • Our investor wants an exit in 18 months. What do we need to fix before we go to market?
    • We expanded internationally, and it is not working. Do we double down or retreat?
    • A regulatory change is coming that could reshape our business model. How do we get ahead of it?
    One question. Properly answered. £5,000.
    Our Guarantee

    If you complete your EdgeBrief, attend the live briefing, and do not feel the session has delivered genuine clarity on your question, we will refund your fee in full. No argument, no lengthy process. You have 30 days from the date of your briefing to make that call.

    We offer this because we are confident in what HTT delivers. If the thinking was not good enough to be useful, we should not be paid for it.
