Private career advisory for families who need the offer to convert.
Founder-led advice for parents, family offices and candidates targeting elite law, finance and consulting outcomes. The next step is a private Diagnostic call, if the profile qualifies.
No public pricing. No obligation. Scope discussed only after fit is established in the Diagnostic.
The Diagnostic is led by the person families are buying judgement from.
Families can see the person leading the judgement before they apply. The proof is not abstract: serious rooms, direct advisory moments and founder-led delivery.
HBS MBA student-club context. Strong institutional rooms without implying partnership or endorsement.
Festival of Education speaking context. The trust signal is serious audiences and direct founder delivery.
Live strategy session with a graduate audience. The work is applied in front of serious candidates, not hidden behind generic advice.
Full-room teaching at Yale SOM. The point is founder-led judgement, not delegated intake or generic motivation content.
Hassan teaching the structure behind elite-firm selection. The Diagnostic applies the same thinking to one candidate profile.
A campus conversation with a Stanford student. ECS works best when the profile, target and timeline are specific.
One private route, three decision-makers.
You need a clear read before committing.
ECS shows where the candidate stands, what is blocking conversion and whether a private engagement makes sense.
You need discretion and evidence.
The Diagnostic creates a private, founder-led first assessment before any family is asked to move further.
You need the failed stage diagnosed.
The work starts with target firms, stage, academic signal, written evidence and interview conversion risk.
The question is not whether the family is ambitious. It is whether the profile will convert.
ECS is built for the uncomfortable gap between expensive education and actual offer conversion. The Diagnostic exists to identify that gap before a family commits.
Apply for the Private DiagnosticCost is handled privately.
Scope and investment are discussed only after the Diagnostic and only if there is fit.
The work is not generic advice.
The Diagnostic identifies the exact blocker between the current profile and the target offer.
Discretion is normal.
Most families request anonymity. Published proof is consent-led; diligence-grade evidence is identity-protected.
When the brief is bigger than one cycle.
Some families need more than a single application intervention: university positioning, internship strategy, pathway evaluation, offer conversion and parent communication across multiple cycles.
Where the profile, timeline and family decision-making justify it, ECS may scope a longer private advisory relationship.
Explore Multi-Year Family AdvisoryProof should feel like a file, not a slogan.
The public site can only show a fraction of the proof because many families require anonymity. Diligence-grade evidence can be reviewed privately where consent and identity protection allow.
Evidence before claims
Named and anonymised outcomes are held on file. Proof is shown privately where discretion requires it.
Founder-led throughout
The first call is led by Hassan Akram, not a sales coordinator or intake associate.
Selective by fit
The application protects the calendar. Not every profile is moved to a call.
Parent present
Where a family is funding the decision, the parent or sponsor is expected in the Diagnostic.
A selective path to a private Diagnostic.
