How we help
Start where it makes sense.
Experienced hands, when you need them. Every engagement starts with an honest read on where you are; where it goes next depends on what you need.

Four ways to engage
When something has gone wrong and you need experienced hands in the room fast. Kritiq embeds with leadership for two intensive weeks, bringing the experience of running a live-service game at scale, an independent eye, and the support to think clearly under pressure.
We help you see what's actually happening, decide what to do, and steer the response. Your team executes. Triage can stand alone, or lead into a diagnostic.
Two-week crisis presence
A full health check of your game and team setup. A structured assessment and performance-data review within your own environment, scored across the twenty PULSE indicators.
The result is a clear, impartial picture of where you actually are: what's working, what's quietly at risk, and where player trust is most exposed.
6–8 weeks · The starting point
The diagnostic finds the problems. Clarity & Action does something about them, through prioritisation, execution planning, and access to specialist expertise in a single engagement.
Kritiq is retained alongside leadership as the studio delivers against the priorities the diagnostic identified, bringing in specialists where they materially improve the outcome.
Rolling engagement
Ongoing performance coaching for leaders and teams, keeping the game on track long after the heavy lifting is done.
An independent strategic perspective: present enough to understand the detail, removed enough to say what needs to be said.
Ongoing relationship
One relationship
Kritiq steers; we don't replace your team. Where a specialist will materially improve the outcome — data, monetisation, community, change management — we bring them in, billed transparently as part of one engagement.
For investors
PULSE is an independent live-service health assessment that complements financial due diligence. A structured, evidence-based view of a game's real condition. It surfaces the risks, strengths and opportunities that a traditional data room can't show.
For VCs and PE firms backing live-service studios, it's a clearer picture of what you're actually buying.
