Frequently asked questions
Is Directive Consulting only for SaaS companies?
Directive Consulting focuses almost exclusively on B2B tech and SaaS companies. If your business is outside software — legal, healthcare, ecommerce, real estate, professional services — Directive is not built for you. Omakaase covers all of these verticals.
How does Directive's Customer Generation model compare to Omakaase?
Directive's Customer Generation model is a positioning choice — they focus on pipeline and revenue metrics rather than lead volume. Omakaase also measures against qualified leads and pipeline, but our methodology is AI-native and cross-channel rather than SaaS-specific. Both are pipeline-focused; the difference is specialism vs. breadth.
What is Directive Consulting's typical contract length?
Directive typically requires 6–12 month engagements given the onboarding investment in their Customer Generation model. Omakaase operates on rolling monthly agreements — you're never locked in.
