Will I work with one consultant or a team?

Both — under a single point of accountability.

You are paired with a lead consultant who owns the strategy, positioning, and execution from kickoff through final decisions. That person is responsible for the integrity of the candidacy as a whole. You are not managing handoffs, reconciling competing viewpoints, or navigating multiple strategic voices. Continuity and judgment reside with one person.

Additional expertise is introduced only where it materially improves the work. A senior essay specialist provides sentence-level refinement within the strategic framework established by your consultant. At higher service levels, targeted review mechanisms — such as blind peer reviews — are used at defined stages to pressure-test positioning and execution. These are deliberate interventions, not parallel tracks.

The structure is designed to preserve coherence. One person leads the strategy. Others sharpen the execution.
