Check the fit before you commit.
A short, independent diagnostic for leaders approaching a major organisational commitment.
FitCheck tests whether you’re solving the right problem, with the right response, at the right scale - before significant money, time and organisational energy are committed.
Independent | Evidence-led | Fixed scope | 7-10 days | £15,000
Major change.
A response forming.
Still time to change course.
FitCheck is designed for the point before commitment - when leadership has begun forming a diagnosis and response, but there is still meaningful scope to change the problem definition, response, scale or timing.
Every FitCheck has to answer five questions
01 What changed?
02 What lost fit?
03 Where is the real constraint?
04 What genuinely needs to change?
05 Does the proposed response fit?
See where the fit has been lost.
FitCheck distinguishes between the demands now being placed on the organisation and its capacity to meet them.
The Transition Signature makes visible where pressure is rising, where capability remains strong, and where intervention is genuinely required.
Intelligence you can inspect.
FitCheck combines a fixed organisational diagnostic, structured evidence analysis, advanced AI-assisted research and senior human judgement.
Fixed method - every assessment uses the same diagnostic geography.
Evidence graded - observations, inference and confidence are kept distinct.
Sources traceable - external evidence is sourced and dated.
Human judged - AI supports research and challenge. Final FitCheck judgement remains human.
Independent by design.
No implementation programme attached.
No transformation team waiting in the wings.
No incentive to make the answer bigger.
FitCheck can conclude that less change is needed.

Serious intelligence. Careful handling.
FitCheck can involve commercially sensitive evidence, emerging management hypotheses and decisions that have not yet been announced.
Controlled evidence - client material is kept separate from the public website and access is restricted to the people working directly on the assessment.
Traceable intelligence - external evidence is sourced and dated. Observations, inference and confidence are kept distinct.
AI-assisted, human judged - advanced AI supports research, comparison and challenge. It does not make the final FitCheck judgement.
Minimum information first - initial enquiries should contain no confidential or commercially sensitive information.
Behind FitCheck.
Peter Askew Founder, OTI
Peter works with organisations facing consequential change, across advisory, board and operating roles. He developed OTI to bring greater discipline to a question leaders repeatedly face: what actually needs to change - and how much?
Before you commit, check the fit.
If a significant organisational response is forming - but there is still meaningful scope to change the problem definition, response, scale or timing - that is the moment for a FitCheck.
-
Not in the traditional sense. FitCheck is a short, independent diagnostic designed to test whether a proposed organisational response fits the problem before major commitment.
-
When something material has changed, leadership is forming a response, and there is still meaningful scope to change the problem definition, response, scale or timing.
-
AI supports research, comparison and challenge. The method is fixed, evidence is graded, sources are traceable, and the final FitCheck judgement remains human.
-
Initially, very little. We ask only for enough context to establish fit. Detailed or commercially sensitive evidence is requested only once an engagement is underway.
-
You receive a clear assessment of Response Fit, Response Confidence and the decision implication, followed by a 60-minute senior-team readout. There is no implementation programme attached.
Discuss a live decision.
Tell us just enough to establish whether FitCheck fits the situation.
