The names come off. The method doesn’t.

Every case below is anonymised — no client names, no locations. The cards tell you what was asked and what we did. The full case tells you what moved. All of them run on the same loop — Empathise, Strategise, Realise, Analyse — whether the question was a whole strategy or one bounded problem.
