How this background informs our work

Five areas considered when reviewing a business decision

AURÉ reviews business questions from financial, operational, strategic, commercial and customer-perception perspectives.

Financial

We review whether the costs, pricing, risks and expected return support the proposal.

Operational

We assess whether the business can deliver what the product, service or market plan requires.

Strategic

We compare the proposed direction with the other realistic options available.

Commercial

We examine who is likely to buy, why they would buy and how the business will reach them.

Perceptual

We consider how the customer is likely to understand the offer, price and positioning.
