„You make decisions about pricing, raises, or expansion on "gut feel.""
Strategic Advisory
Numbers first, decisions second.
Your business is growing, but costs and chaos are growing faster? Stop running it on gut feeling.
Before we implement any system, we put your company and your market under the microscope. You get a hard diagnosis and an action plan that turns guesswork into math.
Hitting the ceiling
You've reached the point where intuition isn't enough.
You have a great product and a growing team, but every day you hit the same ceiling:
„Your company is losing margin to inefficient processes, but you don't know exactly where."
„You're weighing a new market, but you're afraid of burning through capital."
You need someone who can step into your organization, take the operational blinders off, and show you the facts.
Case · working with data
How data reshapes a business and lifts margin
The situation
- A client in the luxury goods sector (Home Wellness) was planning an international expansion.
- His intuition pointed him toward specific markets in Europe. Rather than risk budget on testing, he asked ECG for an analysis.
ECG diagnosis — working with data
- We analyzed 39 leading companies in the market and surfaced facts that aren't obvious at first glance.
- Real sector growth is 155% since 2020 (CAGR 14–18%).
- A false target: in the Czech Republic, fitness club culture has drastically low penetration (4.2%) — it didn't support the client's strategy.
- Target markets: Germany (11.3M fitness club members) and Austria — the largest untapped purchasing potential for a premium profile.

The decision: operational budget steered toward the DACH region (Germany, Austria), not toward markets that lacked the fundamentals of demand.
The decision-making payoff
What the founder gained from hard numbers.
- Budget on the right marketsHe directed his operational budget toward the DACH markets instead of burning it where the fundamentals of demand were missing.
- Confident price increasesHe raised his service prices with full conviction — the analysis showed the market could absorb the increase without losing existing clients.
- A step-change in marginBy optimizing time and resources around the most profitable activities, he saw a step-change in margin.
