Twisthand vs Big-4 Consultancies
They send armies of juniors. We send one expert. Smaller is the feature.
The Reality of Big-4 Engagements
Their Approach
- 6-month discovery phase
- £1,000–£3,000+ per consultant per day (typical range)

Our Approach
- 3-day Discovery Sprint

The Consulting Reality
BCG: “~70% of digital transformations fall short” • McKinsey–Oxford: “45% budget overrun; 7% schedule slip; 56% value shortfall”
What They Promise
✗
“Enterprise-grade methodology”✗
“Best-in-class team”✗
“Proven transformation framework”✗
“Global expertise”The Statistics Say
✓
~70% fall short (BCG). [1]✓
Budget overrun: 45% avg. [2]✓
Schedule slip: ~7% avg. [2]✓
Value shortfall: ~56% [2]Why Copycats Fail
A “£50k SME package” without founder involvement is just more juniors in new wrapping. The constraint isn’t price—it’s coordination. We remove it.
How Copycats Work
✗
Multi-hand-off discovery → build → QA✗
Bench utilisation > speed-to-value✗
Outputs over outcomesHow We Work
✓
One expert: map → build → ship✓
On-site context, fewer iterations✓
Value by Day 3 (prototype) and Day 30 (live)One Honest Confession
We can’t run 10 transformations at once. We do one at a time—brilliantly.
