Vantage point.

A bounded way to work on one consequential decision or situation with founder at re:compound Bud Bhattacharyya — a strategic call you've been holding, a complicated personnel decision, a question about how to read a market shift, the deal where something's off and you can't quite name what. You bring it. We work it together for 90 minutes.

What it is

A 90-minute working session, focused on one decision or situation you bring. A short written brief from you beforehand. A synthesis note from Bud within 48 hours — the real question under the surface question, the issues that actually reprice the call, the places where your own judgment is the thing that matters.

What you bring

One decision or situation you're holding that hasn't resolved. The deal where something is off and you cannot quite name what. The personnel call where the obvious answer does not feel right. The board or investor conversation you keep putting off. The strategic shift where you cannot tell yet whether to commit or wait. The matter that has stopped behaving the way it did when it started. It can be work-shaped, or it can be the thing underneath a work-shaped question. Bud's work is comfortable in both registers.

What you leave with

A vantage point on your own situation that you did not have walking in — and could not have produced from inside it. A cleaner frame of what the decision actually is. Sharper discrimination between the issues that matter and the ones that only look like they matter. A stronger sense of your own next move. Not a report — a conversation with written residue.

The one condition

This is only worth doing if there is live, consequential work worthy of the attention.

Not a hypothetical AI use case. Not a general wish for thought partnership. Not curiosity detached from a real situation.

Something live. Something where your judgment matters. Something where the cost of staying stuck, missing the real issue, or seeing the next move too late is high enough to justify serious attention.

The form

One 90-minute session, scheduled to fit your week. One-on-one with Bud.

$2,500.

A second seat is available for $500 additional.

The second seat is for the person who helps you carry the situation alongside you: a chief of staff, deputy, operating lead, or trusted colleague.

Optional, but often useful.

If this sounds like it might fit

Reach out for a brief exchange about whether the fit is right. If it does, we book the session. If it doesn't, we both know quickly.

Who's behind re:compound

re:compound was built for the gap between AI adoption and actual performance change — the gap where most organizations have invested heavily in tools and training, but the work that depends on senior judgment hasn't changed at all.

Bud works on the methodology of human-AI collaboration for complex knowledge work — specifically the question of how senior judgment compounds rather than resets with every interaction.
