Advisory
Five engagements. One accountable principal.
A ladder, not a menu. Each engagement is outcome-framed, fixed in scope where scope can be fixed, and led personally by the principal from first interview to final artifact. Technology appears only as evidence of production capability — never as the product.
Executive Intelligence DiagnosticLocate the truth
A fixed-scope assessment: maturity staging with evidence, a risk register, an opportunity map ranked by return and feasibility, and a sequenced roadmap — vendor-neutral and executable by any competent team, including your own.
Days 1–5: evidence — system and shadow-tool inventory, stakeholder interviews, data-flow review, aggregate spend. Days 6–10: analysis — maturity staging with the proof attached, risk register, opportunity map. Days 11–15: decision material — the sequenced 12-month roadmap, an executive working session, and a board-ready summary the sponsor presents without us in the room.
Intelligence Architecture & Operating ModelDesign the system before the systems
Target operating model for enterprise intelligence: portfolio architecture, data-access model, governance standard, build-versus-buy positions, measurement design, and a 12–24 month sequence.
The deliverable is an architecture your own teams — or any vendor — can execute against, with governance built into the design rather than appended to it. Every control in the model carries its rationale, so the people who implement it later inherit the thinking, not just the conclusions.
Pilot-to-Production EngineeringShip the system. Governed.
The atelier's distinguishing engagement: the principal architects and builds the production system inside your environment — integration, security, deployment controls, oversight points, audit logging, measurement — leaving your team able to operate it.
This is where “strategy that ships” stops being a slogan. The same person who designed the governance gate writes the system that must pass it, so nothing dies in a handoff. The engagement closes with operating documentation, a rehearsed incident path, and an instrumented business metric.
Governance System DesignMake the portfolio defensible
For organizations with sprawl: inventory, risk-tiering, policy architecture, deployment gates, oversight design, incident readiness, and executive reporting — a functioning governance operating system, not a binder.
The standard is applied retroactively to what already runs and as a gate to what comes next. The close-out test is concrete: a procurement team, an auditor, or an acquirer asks a portfolio-shaped question, and the organization answers from evidence.
Continuous Intelligence AdvisorySenior attention, retained
Standing access to the principal: portfolio reviews, governance cadence, model-change assessments, vendor evaluations, and board-meeting preparation. Limited seats.
For executives who want the discipline maintained, not just installed. The retainer runs on a fixed quarterly cadence with defined artifacts — the portfolio report, the risk-register review, the model-change log — so the value is inspectable, like everything else the practice delivers.
The atelier model
“Every engagement is led personally by the principal. No work is delegated to a team you have not met — there isn’t one. That is the atelier model, and it is the reason the practice is selective about what it accepts.”
Terms are stated plainly at the briefing: fixed scope where the work permits it, fees quoted before commencement, mutual NDA as standard, and the data-handling commitments published in the Trust Center applied to every engagement without exception.

A thirty-minute working conversation with the principal — no deck, no pitch. Where your organization sits on the maturity model, and whether an engagement is warranted.
The practice accepts a limited number of engagements per year
