The Method

The engagement, in detail.

Not a strategy deck. A structured build with a baseline, a fix, and a monthly report against a number we locked before we started.

The Unit Of Work

One leg. One month.One week on site.

A leg is one month of work, and one full week of it happens on site, at your office, in person. The week after, you get a written recap of what moved. The week before the next leg, you get a day-by-day plan of what happens when we arrive. Nothing about the engagement is ever a surprise.

Most engagements run three to six legs. The count gets set after the first conversation, once we know the actual scope, not before.

How A Leg Works

Three phases, every engagement.

Leg One

Put a number on it

We don't fix anything the first week, on purpose. We pull your real records, run the numbers against what you told us, and find every place the problem is actually costing you, sized in dollars. One fast, high-value fix goes in before we leave. Measuring doesn't mean nothing gets fixed.

Legs Two & Three

Close the two biggest

We take the largest items off the ranked list and close them. Each one gets a real process, a person on your team trained to own it, and a measurement against the Leg One baseline. It runs whether or not we're in the building.

Final Leg

Hand it over

The engagement fails if it ends with you needing us. The last leg is training, documentation, and handoff. Your people run everything we built while we're there to correct it, not after we've left.

The Impact Grid

Every finding, plotted.Not just listed.

Leg One doesn't hand you a list of problems. It hands you a grid: what each finding is actually worth in a year, against how hard it is to fix. That's what makes the next decision obvious instead of a guess.

Easy, high impact

The quick win. Installed inside Leg One itself, before we leave the first week.

Hard, high impact

What the middle legs actually solve. The real, structural fixes.

Easy, low impact

Batched and cleaned up along the way, cheap enough not to ignore.

Hard, low impact

We tell you to leave it alone. Recommending against spending your money builds more trust than another line item.

The Discipline

The rules that make it work.

The next leg's data is requested at the start of this one.

Not at close-out. Asking early gives us the full length of the leg to chase it down, not a rushed week.

What we need from you is written down up front.

Access, time with your people, a decision-maker, a named owner for each fix. If we don't get it, the schedule moves, and that was agreed on before we started, not explained after.

Fixed fee, agreed before work begins.

No hourly meters, no change orders on our side. If something takes longer because of our own delay, that's our cost, not yours.

Every claim is measured against the baseline we locked on day one.

What moved, what didn't, and what it's worth. Every month, including the months it doesn't move.
