The discovery · one day, in your business

The discovery day, in your business.

One day with Levi in your business, wherever in New Zealand or Australia it is: where it is losing money through how the market sees it, and through what runs through you. You leave with the number and the plan. No build is promised, and none is sold in the room.

The discovery is the paid step after the 20-minute call, for the businesses it fits. Levi spends a day in your business, on the whole business, with the desk work done before he arrives, so the day goes on what only your floor can show.

The discovery day

What the day gives you

You leave with the number: what the gap between how good you are and how the market sees you costs you a year, and the plan to close it. What you do not leave with is a proposal written in the room.

The same read runs every month in Levi's own three businesses.

  • The desk work first

    Your market, the businesses you lose to, your website, your reviews and your numbers, read before the day, so the day is spent on what only the floor can show.

  • The floor

    How the work comes in, how it is quoted, who answers the phone, what waits for you, and where the day stops when you are not there.

  • The market read

    Who you are for, what you are best at, why the right customers choose you today and why they don't, and where the price-shopping starts.

  • The number

    What the gap costs in a year: the missed calls, the lost quotes, the work that came down to price, the hours of yours it takes to hold it together.

  • The plan

    What to fix, in what order, and what we would propose if you asked us to, or what to do yourself if the number says so.

The discovery day

How it works

  1. 01

    The call

    Twenty minutes. If the discovery fits your business, we say so, and if it doesn't, we say that.

  2. 02

    The desk work

    A week or so before the day, we read everything the market can see about you.

  3. 03

    The day

    Levi in your business, in person. Owners, the phone, the quotes, the floor.

  4. 04

    The number and the plan

    Written up and walked through with you after the day. Yours to keep, whatever you decide next.

Who it is not for

  • A business the day would strain. The call tells us that, and we will say so.
  • An owner who wants a logo, a new website or a campaign run for them. The Foundation Build does that, with its position decided first.
  • Anyone looking for a pitch. None is given in the room.

What it is built on

The read Levi makes of your business is the one he makes of his own three every month: the position, the vehicle and the works, against the numbers. Horizon Landscape's $450,000 month of organic leads, three months into its strategy (Levi's own figure, September 2026), started with the same read.

What runs in our own businesses

What it costs

The discovery is paid, billed in full, and not credited against a build: it is a day of thinking, and it stands on its own. The figure is in the proposal after the call, because it depends on nothing but the day. If the number the day finds is small, the plan says so, and what to do about it yourself.

Put a number on it

One lost job a month adds up.

$30,000
a year, walking out the door

Simple arithmetic, not a promise. Your real numbers are what the discovery day is for.

Questions

The questions owners ask before they ring.

Do I have to do the discovery before a build?

No. A website or a brand on its own is taken as it comes, with its position decided first inside the build. The discovery is for the owner who wants the number on the whole business before deciding anything.

How long does it take?

One day in your business, and about a week of desk work before it. The write-up follows within the week after.

Where does it happen?

In your business, wherever in New Zealand or Australia it is. How a business runs day to day is seen on the floor, not on a call.

What if we are not a fit?

Then the call says so, and no discovery is offered. Fit is decided by both sides, on the call, before anything is paid.
