Can we do a short-term project or audit?
Quick answer
Yes. Five Blocks offers short-term, fixed-fee diagnostic projects that run roughly two to four weeks and produce a defensible read of the current reputation landscape plus prioritized, scoped recommendations. Many full programs grow out of a diagnostic, but the engagement stands on its own and does not require continuing.
Yes. Short-term diagnostic and advisory engagements are common, especially when a client wants a clear picture of the current reputation landscape before committing to a multi-month program. The diagnostic stands on its own: many programs grow out of it, but the engagement does not require continuing.
