EmberStrategic FAQ

1. What does EmberStrategic do?

EmberStrategic is a consulting studio focused on designing scalable, resilient, and ethically grounded systems.

4. What makes EmberStrategic different from other strategy firms?

EmberStrategic combines technical systems thinking and strategic brand positioning with ethical clarity and human-centered design. We build resilient ecosystems that are:

Modular by design
Ethically-aware by architecture
Ready for scale without compromising soul

We also offer proprietary frameworks like Diversified Modular Architecture (DMA) and the Diversified Modular Scalability Model (DMSM) — practical models that bring structure to complexity.

5. What is Diversified Modular Architecture (DMA)?

DMA is a systems design principle that treats each product, service, or initiative as a module in a broader portfolio. It enables organizations to:

Fail safely
Scale selectively
Adapt quickly
Communicate clearly across functions

It’s used to build ecosystems that adapt and thrive across change — whether technological, ethical, or organizational.

While our frameworks are industry-agnostic, we specialize in:

Artificial Intelligence & emerging technology
B2B SaaS / platforms

Ethics and trust-critical sectors

7. What formats do you work in?

We adapt based on client needs:

Strategy reports or playbooks
Visual system maps / modular diagrams
Executive working sessions or workshops
Ongoing advisory retainers
Fractional leadership or product/brand architecture roles

8. What’s your pricing model?

Pricing depends on project scope, timeline, and deliverables. We offer:

Flat-rate packages for strategy blueprints
Retainer-based advisory engagements
Fixed or hourly rates for limited-scope consulting
Sliding-scale or pilot pricing for select early-stage or values-aligned partners

Initial consultations are free.

9. Do you take equity or offer startup discounts?

We’re open to equity or hybrid structures for mission-aligned startups or social impact companies, depending on the fit and project scope.
