A little more clarity

Before you
get started.

What is Flux?

Self-serve diagnostics from Scale Foundry that show founder-led services businesses where their revenue engine is slipping and what to fix first.

Who is it for?

Founder-led B2B services businesses, such as agencies, accounting and financial services, HR and people consultancies, recruitment, managed services and legal, whose growth has started to stall. Typically the founder still owns most of the selling and the key client relationships.

How do I choose between Snapshot, Focus and Complete?

Snapshot for a first read. Focus when you know which area is hurting. Complete when you want the whole engine and how the gaps connect.

What do I need to provide?

Time for the interview, which walks through how you win, keep and grow clients. Flux Complete also asks for a few figures, such as revenue and renewals. Estimates are fine: the report labels each one as self-reported, estimated or not tracked.

How is AI used?

AI researches your market and competitors, checks what you tell us against your numbers, and drafts the synthesis. Our model sets what’s measured and how it’s scored, and a person reviews every paid report before you see it.

How is it scored?

Each area is scored on four lenses. Scores are computed from your interview and aren’t benchmarked against other companies. AI readiness is shown as an indicative marker and kept out of the scores.

What happens after I get my report?

Work through the recommendations with your own team, in the order given. Run Flux again in six to twelve months: your first report becomes the baseline, so you can see what moved.

Do I need to work with Scale Foundry?

No. Every Flux diagnostic stands on its own. If you want help acting on it, that’s a separate conversation.

What happens to my data?

Your data is stored securely with reputable providers, and only the people who need it can see it. We use it to prepare your report and we don’t sell it. The AI services we use don’t train their models on it. Our Privacy Policy has the detail.
