About this publication
Anatomy of Consulting is a practitioner publication about the practice of business diagnosis, written for consultants who want to diagnose businesses better.
What the articles explore
The writing examines how consultants investigate a business: how they define the real problem rather than the presenting symptom, how they form and test a hypothesis, how they gather and weigh evidence, and how they reach recommendations that a business can actually use.
Method is the subject. Where a topic involves analysis tooling or AI, it appears inside the relevant stage of the work rather than as a separate theme.
Who this is for
The writing here is aimed at consultants and advisors: the people doing the diagnosing.
If you are a founder or business owner looking for help with your own company, this is not your content. Head to businesspulseos.com instead, where the writing for founders lives alongside the hands-on diagnostic and implementation work.
Alongside the diagnostic journey, the publication carries wider consulting thought leadership: fees and pricing, selling diagnostic work, and professional standards.

Working toward a book
This work contributes toward a forthcoming book, Anatomy of a Business Diagnostic: Your client's problem is a clue, not the diagnosis. The book is in development, and the publication is where the thinking is worked out in public.
