Daylight

A seven-minute diagnostic on one advisor relationship. Free, anonymous, and it won’t tell you to change firms.

In most outcomes, it says the opposite because most of what looks like a firm problem is a drift problem, and drift is recoverable.

Every advisor relationship has three layers.

What is scoped — what the written agreement obligates the firm to do.

What is relied upon — what your organization has come to depend on,

including work that arrives every month and appears in no document.

And what is paid for — the total compensation flowing to that firm from every source, not only what you invoice.

What you get

Twenty-two questions, about seven minutes.

At the end you'll see which distances have opened, whether the substance is landing, whether anything is maintaining the relationship between reviews — and five questions worth putting to your advisor at your next meeting.

You can take the report away as a PDF, built on your own device.

What it won't do

It won't tell you to change firms. In most outcomes it says the opposite…..

because most of what looks like a firm problem is a drift problem, and drift is recoverable.

Answer honestly. It's anonymous.

We keep an unnamed record of the pattern — no name, no company, no email — so

we can build benchmarks across organizations. If you'd like us to know who you

are, there's a place to say so at the end. It's optional, and nothing about the

diagnostic changes either way.

Better with company

The strongest use of Daylight is comparative. Have two or three colleagues (and your advisor)

answer independently and compare where you disagree — the divergence between

two honest accounts usually says more than either account alone.

We can run that as a facilitated session, including the version where your

advisor answers the same questions from their side
