Diagnostic before delivery
Every engagement opens with a structured 2-week audit. We map the real flow: money, signal, decision, attention, and human capacity.
A Strategy House for living operating systems.
Astrocytes & Co. reads the company as a living web: neuronal signal, mycelial exchange, SCOBY-like culture, and digital infrastructure moving through people, tools, margin, and rhythm. We diagnose where money, attention, and process leak, then rebuild the connective tissue that makes the team stronger.

§ 02 / Why Astrocytes
A practice with scientific rigour, not theatre.
In neuroscience, astrocytes maintain the connective infrastructure of the brain. They keep the signal clean, the energy available, and the network functional. We do that work for operating businesses.

Operator outcomes, not decorative documents
You get repaired CRM, sales cadence, agentic flows, procedures, and handoff rules the team can run.

The biological language matters only when it improves decisions. We use it to read connection, culture, memory, and constraint.

Quiet credibility
Neuroscience MSc, MBA, food ingredients, gym operations, and digital infrastructure. The proof lives in the work.
§ 04 / Services
Five lines of measurable work.
Each line stands alone or composes with the others. All begin with a clear diagnostic.
The Symbiotic Audit
Two weeks. Fixed fee. We map where money, signal, process, and attention leak, then deliver a written operating plan with the sequence of repairs.
- Interview owner, leadership, sales, finance, delivery, and customer-facing staff.
- Trace lead flow, quote flow, order flow, margin flow, decision flow, and handoff points.
- Read CRM data, pipeline hygiene, pricing patterns, meeting cadence, and tool stack.
- Deliver a written plan with ranked repairs, scope options, and measurable first moves.
Process & Systems Rebuild
Six Sigma discipline and Scrum cadence applied to the way the company really runs: decisions, handoffs, meetings, SOPs, cost controls, and ownership.
- Map current-state workflows and failure points.
- Rewrite SOPs and handoff rules with named owners.
- Install weekly and monthly operating cadence.
- Define decision rights, escalation rules, and cost review signals.
Sales Architecture & Coaching
CRM rebuild, territory logic, sales cadence, pipeline discipline, and coaching rooted in MEDDPICC, Challenger, and SPIN without theatre.
- Rebuild CRM stages, fields, views, and management cadence.
- Clarify territories, account tiers, lead sources, and qualification rules.
- Install weekly pipeline review and monthly commercial readout.
- Coach sales conversations using practical MEDDPICC, Challenger, and SPIN patterns.
Agentic AI Implementation
n8n, Make, and custom agentic workflows for repetitive work where judgment can be bounded and handoff can be measured.
- Identify bounded workflows with clear inputs, rules, review points, and outputs.
- Build agentic flows in n8n, Make, or custom code.
- Connect internal data, documents, and approval checkpoints.
- Train the team on monitoring, exception handling, and maintenance.
Web & Digital Infrastructure
Astro and Next.js builds, bilingual content systems, analytics-ready funnels, brand systems, and web infrastructure tied to the actual commercial motion.
- Define public architecture, route map, content model, and conversion path.
- Build fast Astro or Next.js pages with self-hosted assets and clear SEO.
- Create reusable brand and content components.
- Prepare analytics events without adding tracking by default.
