Every engagement produces a document. No hours billed for calls that could have been an email. The format matches the question at hand.

Why Saro Bay

Work that arrives on your desk, not in a slide

Written deliverables only

Each engagement ends with a document your team can read, share, and refer to. Nothing is locked inside a presentation file that requires the consultant to interpret it.

Fixed scope, fixed price

You know what you are getting before the work begins. Fees are stated upfront with no variable billing attached to how many revisions or calls the project involves.

Neutral position

No vendor relationships influence the advisory work. Tool recommendations and stakeholder memos reflect the facts gathered, not a preferred outcome for the consultant.

Senior-only contact

Work is handled by experienced advisors. Client teams are not passed to junior staff once the engagement begins.

Malaysia market awareness

Based in Kuala Lumpur with direct experience across sectors operating in the Malaysian regulatory and commercial environment.

Discretion as a standard

Client work is not discussed publicly or used in marketing materials without written permission. Each engagement stays between the parties involved.

Start a Conversation

Have a question worth examining properly?

A short introductory call or email exchange is enough to establish whether one of the three engagements is a sensible fit. There is no obligation to proceed.

Common Questions

Things clients usually ask before starting

What is the difference between the three engagements?
The Strategic Note Series is a standing monthly engagement — it suits teams who want a regular written perspective on the operating environment. Tools Selection Advisory is a one-time project around a software decision. The Stakeholder Alignment Memo is a neutral diagnostic before a meeting or decision where internal positions are unclear. Each can be used on its own.
How long does each engagement take?
The Strategic Note Series produces one note per calendar month. The Tools Selection Advisory typically takes two to three weeks from the first requirements session to the written recommendation. The Stakeholder Alignment Memo is usually completed within five to seven working days of the final interview.
Do you work with companies outside Kuala Lumpur?
Yes. All three engagements are conducted primarily through written correspondence and scheduled calls, which means the company's location within Malaysia does not create a practical obstacle. Most of the work is asynchronous.
Are the stated prices per month or per engagement?
RM 2,400 for the Strategic Note Series is a monthly fee for the standing engagement. RM 1,300 for Tools Selection Advisory is per project, regardless of how many tools are being compared. RM 580 for the Stakeholder Alignment Memo is per engagement. All prices are stated in Malaysian Ringgit and are subject to the terms agreed at the start of each engagement.
How is confidentiality handled?
Each engagement begins with a written confidentiality agreement. Client names, internal data shared during the process, and the content of any produced documents are not disclosed to third parties. The Stakeholder Alignment Memo anonymizes interview content before delivery as a matter of course.
How do I start?
Send a note using the form below or by email. A brief description of the question or decision you are facing is enough. We will respond within one business day to discuss whether one of the engagements is appropriate, and if not, say so plainly.
