A closer working a script for a signature today.
A straight read on whether twelve weeks of done-with-you fits where you are.

// THE 20 MINUTESMINUTE BY MINUTE

Nobody is going to read you a slide deck.

MIN 0—3
Where you are

We already read your brief, so you start at the real thing instead of your job title.

MIN 3—10
The actual blocker

One problem, in detail. Usually scope, sometimes validation, often fear of quitting.

MIN 10—16
What twelve weeks looks like

Concretely: what gets built, what you do, what we do, what ships at the end.

MIN 16—20
Fit or no fit

You get an answer on the call. If it is no, you get the better next step instead.

// FAQ
Is this a sales call?

It is a screening call. We are deciding fit in both directions. There is no commission on the other end of the line, which is why you will get a no when a no is the honest answer.

What language is the call in?

English or Portuguese. Pick whichever you would rather think out loud in, and say so in the brief.

Do I need to have started building?

No, but you need to be past “someday”. If you have only an idea we will probably point you at the Forge first — and say so on the call rather than sell you twelve weeks you are not ready for.

What should I bring?

The thing you are stuck on, and any numbers you have. No deck, no business plan. Twenty minutes goes fast.

What happens after?

If it is a fit, you get the application and the intake dates. If it is not, you get the honest alternative, and no follow-up sequence.

Can I reschedule?

Any time, from the link in your confirmation email. No calls to cancel a call.

Twenty minutes now, or another year of wondering.

No deck. No pressure. A straight answer.
