Every engagement at The Qiman ends the same way: with a written Case File. It contains the question as it was actually asked, the read with its reasoning laid out, the windows that matter, and the points where the read could be wrong, stated in advance.

Below is a selection of cases. Each is a composite drawn from several real engagements, with identifying details altered. The questions are real in form. The people are not individuals.

Should I launch now, or wait?

A founder, ready to ship a second product in November. The read showed a hostile window through year-end, opening in late January. He waited eight weeks. The launch landed in a quiet stretch when two competitors were between announcements, and the first month's numbers covered the delay.

Should I enter this partnership?

A twelve-year distribution agreement, nearly signed. The read flagged a structure favoring one side. The client renegotiated the liability terms before signing. The partnership held. The terms mattered within the year.

Should I raise this spring, or after the launch?

The read favored early. The round closed in April. By autumn, comparable rounds in the sector were pricing lower, and the launch had not yet shipped.

Two candidates. Which one?

The read does not rank people; it reads the timing of the offer. The client extended the offer in the indicated week. The candidate accepted within days. A competing offer arrived the week after.

Should I accept this position?

A generous offer, real doubts. The read said the role fit, but the joining date mattered more than the package. The client negotiated a start three months out and arrived after a reorganization that would have buried him.

Should I leave, and when?

Nine years in one company. The read said the season supported leaving. Notice went in during May. By September she held two credible offers and took the quieter one.

Should I marry this person?

The question arrived as a whether. The read reframed it as a when. The wedding moved from the autumn date under discussion to the following spring. The autumn, as it turned out, held a business emergency that would have consumed the entire engagement period.

Should I file for divorce — and when?

The decision was already made. The question was timing, around children and a bonus cycle. The read mapped two viable windows. She chose the later one and used the intervening months to prepare documentation quietly. The process ran cleaner than her lawyer expected.

Should I try to reconcile?

The read showed a real but short window. The client made the attempt inside it. It failed, and the failure was fast and clear, instead of another year of limbo. Not every good outcome is a reunion.

Should I buy this property now?

The read said wait. Two months later the seller's position weakened, and the same property closed at a lower figure.

Should I exit this position, or hold?

A concentrated position, years of employer stock. The read showed a closing window. The client exited inside it. The position declined the following quarter.

Should I sign these terms this month?

The read showed the counterparty's position was softer than it appeared, and that time favored the client. The client held for two weeks. The terms improved.

One thing these cases are not: testimonials. No client has been quoted, and no result is promised. What a Case File gives you is a second instrument, one that reads the calendar your decision has to land in.
