Fores3 Business Review
Take a fresh look at your company before deciding what should change.
Turn every stone. With a Fores3 Business Review you get an independent view of who you are as a company, where you want to go and what really needs to change to get there. From repositioning and marketing to improving your internal processes with modern technology and AI. Getting to know each other is free.
From €2,500 excl. VATUsually 1 to 2 weeks
Where it usually starts
“Could you take a look at our website?”
I can. But a website is usually the result of choices made much earlier.
Before I judge whether a website is any good, I want to know which company it is meant to represent. So I prefer to take a step back first.
Can't wait? Prepare our conversation with a Fores3 agent:
What you get out of it
A full-stack entrepreneur at your side.
I do not only look at your website, but at your company, your customers, your processes and more. What comes out are concrete business actions, including where AI can do the work smartly in your company.
With the best software I independently map how you really perform online: findability, competition, search behaviour and what your site does.
Ten years of experience make that data mean something. I no longer sell these marketing services myself, so I have no stake in any particular outcome and can turn every stone for you.
The advice an agency often charges tens of thousands for, independent and with priorities: what now, what next, what later.
Want to build together? Then I quickly translate the advice into a first working demo. Not a proposal, but something you can see: a direction people understand and remember within seconds, and in which many founders recognise themselves right away. The demo is included in the Business Review.
Why look again
Looking again is not the same as starting over.
Not every company has to change everything. But the world you work in does change, and with it what is sensible for a company to choose.
Change is not the goal. Choosing more sharply is.

What we look at
The parts I look at.
01 / 06
Identity and ambition
Who are you and your customers, what do you stand for and where do you want to go? Finding out what matters, and why.
These are lenses I look at your company through, not mandatory audits or a menu. We follow where the real questions and openings in your company are.
See TechnologyIdentity and image
You do not change how you are seen with words alone.
Communication makes a world of difference. But if a company wants to be seen differently, that usually has to become tangible in the offer, the product, the services and the systems underneath.
Sometimes a company has moved further internally than the outside world can tell. The question is then not automatically whether a new website is needed, but what to keep, reduce, cut, sharpen, add or build to bring reality closer to how the company wants to be seen.
Identity
Who are you, really?
Ambition
Who do you want to become?
Positioning
Which place do you want to hold?
Experience
What do customers and colleagues actually experience?
Systems and products
Does reality support that promise?
Image
Are you seen the way you want to be seen?
How the Business Review works
From scattered observations to a clear direction.
What comes out
A sharp route for your company from here. What holds up, what the issues are, where new value sits and which choices go with it.
Keep
What makes your company strong deserves protection.
Reduce
Too much time, money, attention or complexity goes here.
Cut
We probably would not introduce this again today.
Sharpen
The base holds up, but it can be clearer and stronger.
Add
This is missing today, while it is needed. It was probably unaffordable before.
Build
This opportunity deserves to become real. Call it your utopian idea.
Not every category has to be filled. If nothing needs cutting or building, that is a valid conclusion too. A good Business Review leads to less just as often as to more.
Perhaps part of the work can be handled by a digital coworker. Perhaps AI turns out not to be the first priority at all. That is exactly what you want to know.
Priorities
Twenty good observations without an order, or a pile of generalities, help no one. So we bring the choices back to three moments.
Who is looking
You get my personal view. No course or booklets.
I combine entrepreneurship, commercial experience, digital products, marketing, software and AI to look at the company as a whole. Not every question calls for the same answer.
I look at your company as an entrepreneur, product thinker and builder, not from a single discipline.
I have no stake in a predetermined outcome, so I can stay independent.
I ask different questions than people who have been inside it for years, because I have been round the entrepreneur's cycle myself more than once.
Where it makes sense and really adds value, I can also build the direction we choose, fast and with a low investment.
You know your company better than I do, and one conversation does not change that. The value of my personal outside view sits in different questions and in patterns that are often hard to see from within.
That is why we look together. I speak with the people who matter, bring structure and perspective, and we test the choices together before a direction becomes reality.
And then
First decide what matters. Only then decide what to do about it.
The Business Review can stand on its own. The outcome may be that you can carry on yourselves, or that nothing needs to change for now.
If something does need to be built or changed and Fores3 is a logical fit, we decide the next steps together. The Business Review is not a front door to a build engagement.

Frequently asked questions
What people want to know first.
No. The Business Review exists for situations where you sense something is off but cannot name it yet. An open question is enough to start.
No. AI is one lens, not the starting point. We start with the company, the customer and the direction. Where AI really helps, and where ordinary software is better, becomes clear along the way.
No. The website is often the trigger, rarely the whole story. I look at identity, market, offer, customer experience, processes and systems, and only then at what you show online.
You have a sharp map of your company and concrete choices: keep, reduce, cut, sharpen, add or build, plus what deserves attention now, next and later. What you do next is up to you. Sometimes the conclusion is that the base is stronger than you thought.
Yes, if it makes sense. I quickly translate the advice into a first working demo, which is included in the Business Review, so you see what is coming instead of reading a proposal. Building starts with phase 1, one-off from €3,000 excl. VAT. It is never an obligation.
From €2,500 excl. VAT, usually 1 to 2 weeks, depending on scope and the availability of relevant information and people. The exact scope depends on the size and complexity of the company.
Broadly enough to see connections and opportunities, and then we go deeper where that is relevant. It is not a due diligence, a financial audit, a legal review, a full security audit or a complete rebrand.
