Fractional Capacity Planning

Senior planning expertise, without the headcount.

Stratmere delivers operational capacity and resource planning as a fractional service. Expert resource for exactly the time your business needs — from a two-hour monthly review to a fully managed planning function.

The planning function your business needs. None of the overhead.

Most growing businesses reach a point where gut instinct is no longer enough — but a full-time planning hire feels premature, too costly, or simply unavailable at the right level.

Fractional means you access senior planning expertise for exactly the time your operation requires. No salary. No on-costs. No notice period. No desk to fill. You define the engagement — Stratmere delivers to it.

No other firm positions this service as fractional. The expertise exists. The model is new.

Start small

One or two hours a week. A monthly review session. Light-touch support where it matters.

Scale when needed

Increase to multiple days a week when peak demand, restructure, or AI adoption requires it.

No commitment

Retainer structures that flex. Call-off hours. Monthly engagements. No annual lock-in by default.

Genuinely senior

Multi-sector experience. Regulated environments. C-suite-facing. Not a junior resource dressed up.

Four categories. One methodology. Every engagement starts with a conversation.

The numbers your operation can rely on.

Backtested before delivery

Every capacity model is tested against historical performance before it leaves Stratmere. If the numbers do not hold up, the model is rebuilt. Not signed off.

Nothing to sell but the plan

Stratmere has no technology to implement, no system to recommend, and no implementation contract to protect. The output is the numbers. What your business does with them is your decision.

Regulatory experience built in

FCA, PRA, and Ofcom regulated environments. The governance standards, controls documentation, and audit trails that regulated operations require come as standard.

AI workforce planning — included

Stratmere models token consumption per AI agent action the same way handling time is modelled for human resource. Two numbers: how many FTE and how many tokens.

Turnaround experience

A £21 million business. Zero formal planning. Backlogs every peak. Major client losses. A full turnaround in twelve months — once the plan existed. Stratmere exists to prevent that moment.

A framework, not a spreadsheet

Governance standards and controls are documented alongside every model. Your operation has something that can be maintained, audited, and handed over — not locked in one person's head.
