Short answer
The 2P Audit
People + Portfolio Diagnostic
A fixed-scope diagnostic that shows whether your team can deliver the year you're planning and what to change before the calendar breaks you.
Fixed-scope engagement · 90 days Team software included
Built for event leaders who know something's wrong but can't prove it yet
Director and VP-level event leaders managing event portfolios of any size. You've got a calendar. You don't have a capacity model. These teams recognize themselves immediately:
- "We're always underwater."
- "We don't know if we can take on more events."
- "Certain months crush the team."
- "We keep needing last-minute contractors."
- "We've got an event calendar, but no capacity model."
The 2P Audit gives you the lowest-commitment way to get a governed answer to those questions, not another spreadsheet exercise, not a six-month engagement.
Every 2P Audit answers four questions
We've scoped the engagement to these four questions, nothing more. That discipline keeps it short and the output immediately actionable.
Are there enough people for the events we're planning?
Map your team's available capacity against the full demand of your committed and planned portfolio.
Which months run overloaded?
Surface red months before they're crises, not after burnout starts.
Which roles feel most constrained?
Find the single-point-of-failure roles that block execution when a high-tier event lands.
What should we change first?
Leave with a prioritized fix list, not a vague "we need more headcount" conversation.

Your planned portfolio may already exceed your team's capacity
Diagnosis
Most event teams commit to a year their capacity model hasn't validated. Red months, role overloads, and last-minute contractor spend show symptoms, not root causes.
