If you're a management, strategy, operations, or specialty consultant with 5+ years of expertise — and your revenue is still dependent on partnerships, referrals, and the specific engagements that happen to land in a given quarter — the Three Gaps Framework was built for your industry specifically. Most consultants are bound by a concurrent Acquisition Gap + Offer Gap.

Every industry has a binding-gap distribution. For consultants, the pattern below reflects what Gemma diagnoses most commonly in Audit Calls with this ICP.
Frequency in this industry: ~70% of consultants
Consultants almost universally operate with structurally absent demand systems. 70-90% of revenue arrives through partnerships, referrals, and word-of-mouth — dependencies often misread as strengths. Structurally, this means there is no functioning pipeline; there is a coincidence being mistaken for infrastructure.
Frequency in this industry: ~55% of consultants (concurrent)
Project-based, custom-scoped consulting creates permanent pricing pressure and scope creep. Without a productized flagship offer — with defined scope and defended pricing — every engagement is a custom negotiation. The result: revenue scales linearly with hours, not with skill or outcomes.
Frequency in this industry: ~25% of consultants
Follow-Up Gap is less common for consultants than for other professional services operators because partnership pipelines are typically "warm" at first contact. However, proposal stalls are still frequent — and silence-as-status routing recovers significant stalled revenue when installed properly.
The engagement sequence adapted to this industry's typical binding gap pattern and revenue range ($150K–$1.5M).
Gemma applies the Three Gaps Framework to your specific consulting practice. Typical consultant diagnosis surfaces the Acquisition + Offer concurrent binding pattern. 30 minutes. Free. Diagnostic-only.
8 sessions installing 7 deliverables. Session 3: Engineered Offer Suite with productized flagship. Session 4: Complete Positioning Package (consultant-specific). Session 5: Installed Demand System.
All seven deliverables installed. Pipeline system producing 2-5 parallel qualified conversations. Productized flagship priced 60-150% above previous custom-quote baseline.
90-minute session reviewing what's operating, what's drifted, what needs fine-tuning. By Day 180, most consultant alumni report referral dependency below 30% and revenue consistency above 2x pre-PRS baseline.
Industry context is valuable. Individual diagnosis is what produces the structural moves. The 30-minute Audit Call names your binding gap specifically, quantifies your annual leak, and produces three structural moves actionable in the next 30 days — free, regardless of what happens next.
