Diagnostics & Playbooks
When scope is unclear, we run a time-boxed diagnostic to produce a concrete playbook and pilot plan with evidence.
Discover
- Stakeholder interviews across delivery, ops, finance, and IT
- System walk-throughs: inputs, touchpoints, integrations
- Baseline metrics & known failure modes
Sample & Map
- Sampling plan with AQL/defect classes; calibration rules
- Exception flows documented with owners
- Throughput/quality/reliability bottleneck analysis
Design
- Draft SOPs and prompts; control points and checklists
- Dashboard tiles with definitions and evidence links
- Pilot metrics and success thresholds
Readout
- Playbook with owners/dates and change-control guardrails
- Pilot plan (26 weeks) with go/no-go criteria
- Next steps: staff augmentation or outcomes-based delivery
What You Get
