Test demand for your consulting offer — before you quit your job.
Get real market data in 30 days. Find out if people will actually pay — while you're still employed.
You have expertise someone needs. You have an idea worth testing.
What you need is proof before you leap.
15 minutes · No pitch · Just an honest conversation
Free: the 5 questions every founder must answer before they build — and why most skip them.
Trusted by professionals who've left
Most ideas fail for one reason.
Friends say "sounds great!" So you start building. Website, logo, content. Months pass. Savings shrink.
Then you launch.
And hear
nothing.
42% of startups fail because nobody wanted it. Not because you weren't smart enough. Not because you didn't work hard.
Friend encouragement isn't evidence. You need real market feedback before you risk everything.
In 30 days, you'll know.
Not think. Not hope. Know.
A Clear Offer
We turn your experience into a specific, testable consulting offer. One buyer. One problem. One price.
Real Buyers See It
Your offer goes in front of actual prospects — not friends, not family. People who would actually pay.
A Verdict
A clear decision brief: Launch it, change it, or kill it. Based on real data, not gut feelings.
You'll leave with evidence — not opinions.
How the 30 days work.
WEEK 1
Define Your Offer
We take your expertise and turn it into a specific offer for a specific buyer. You'll leave this week knowing exactly what you're selling and to whom.
WEEKS 2–3
Test It With Real People
Your offer goes live. Real prospects encounter it through the channel that makes sense for your audience. We track every response.
WEEK 4
Get Your Verdict
A decision brief with real data: who engaged, what level of interest they showed, and a clear recommendation — launch, iterate, or kill.
We measure intent, not vanity metrics.
LEVEL 3
COMMITMENT
Paid pilot · Deposit · Signed proposal
→ If fails here: pricing/packaging problem
LEVEL 2
INTENT
Booked calls · Applications · "Send details"
→ If fails here: trust/clarity problem
LEVEL 1
ATTENTION
Qualified clicks · Time on page · Engagement
→ If fails here: positioning problem
Note: 30 days gives directional signal, not certainty. That's enough to decide.
What clients are saying
Real feedback from founders who validated before they leaped
I spent 8 months building my last startup before I found out nobody wanted it. With Before You Leap, I got my answer in 30 days — and it was a clear 'pivot'. Best $2K I ever spent.
Outcome: Pivoted to adjacent market, landed 3 clients in month 2
Michael K.
Former Google PM, now consulting
Patrick's process is exactly what I needed. No fluff, no motivation speeches — just real data on whether my offer had legs. Turns out it did.
Outcome: Launched at $5K/month retainer, 2 signed clients
Sarah R.
Ex-Deloitte, Operations Consulting
My wife was skeptical about me leaving Amazon. The decision brief gave us both the confidence we needed. Real numbers, real conversations, real evidence.
Outcome: Quit with spouse buy-in, 4 discovery calls booked
James T.
Former Amazon Operations Lead

Patrick Jaritz
I've been where you are.
6 years leading operations teams at Amazon. Military officer before that. I know what it's like to have a stable career, a growing idea, and absolutely no way to know if it's worth the risk.
This sprint exists because I needed it myself. I built the process I wish someone had offered me — a structured way to test demand without burning savings or quitting prematurely.
I'm not a life coach. I'm not going to tell you to "follow your passion." I'm going to help you get data.

Common questions
You already know you want to try.
The question isn't whether you have a good idea.
It's whether you'll find out before it's too late — or after.
