Engagement Model
Deep Dive Session.
A single decision meeting to pressure-test feasibility, unblock owners, and pick the lane.
We leave with a decision date, success criteria, and constraints—plus surfaced blockers (data, governance, compliance, owners) and a clear next-step lane with explicit asks. Optional: scope brief within 24 hours.
Paid, time-boxed. This is not a sales call. It ends with explicit owners, clear success criteria, and next-step asks. If the required decision owner isn’t available, we reschedule—this only works with authority in the room.
Deep Dive Session
What gets decided in one meeting
This is a pressure-test and alignment session. We leave with a decision date, success criteria, constraints, surfaced blockers, and a clear next-step lane with explicit asks.
Deep Dive Session
PaidA single decision meeting to pressure-test feasibility, unblock owners, and pick the lane.
- Decision date + success criteria + constraints
- Blockers surfaced (data, governance, compliance, owners)
- Next-step lane selected with clear asks
- Optional: scope brief within 24 hours
Built to end ambiguity fast—so execution starts with aligned owners and explicit constraints.
Prep (what to bring)
30–45 minLightweight prep so we can spend the session on decisions, not context download.
- Target decision + “why now”
- Known constraints (timeline, systems, compliance)
- Baseline reality (volumes, costs, cycle time, ops limits)
- Owners present (or delegated authority)
After the session
Clear asksYou get a clean path forward: lane selection plus explicit next steps tied to owners and evidence.
- Decision summary (date, criteria, constraints)
- Owner-aligned actions (who does what by when)
- Evidence gates to unblock execution
- Optional scope brief delivered within 24 hours
Prep
What to bring.
Prep takes 30–45 minutes. You don’t need a deck. We just need enough truth to make a decision.
Minimum viable inputs
Bring these 6 things
- Objective: the decision you want to make (and why now)
- Current state: what exists today (systems, process, team, constraints)
- Scope guess: what’s in / out (even if imperfect)
- Constraints: compliance/security, budget, timeline, tooling, governance
- Data reality: where the data lives + what’s accessible right now
- Stakeholders: who must approve / sign off
If you can answer these in bullets, you’re ready.
Attendance requirements
Who should attend
Decision owner
The person who can say “yes/no” and set a decision date.
2–4 required owners
Typically: data/system owner, security/compliance, finance, ops. (Add legal if needed.)
If authority isn’t in the room
We reschedule. This only works when owners can commit to explicit asks.
Deliverables
What you receive within 24 hours.
A decision-grade summary you can forward internally—plus explicit owners, evidence gates, and next-step asks.
24-hour delivery • forwardable format
Decision Memo (1–2 pages)
- Decision date + decision owner
- Success criteria + constraints (compliance, governance, budget, timeline)
- Top blockers (data access, approvals, stakeholders, tooling)
- Lane recommendation (Diagnostic / Deep Dive follow-on / System Install) with rationale
Built to end ambiguity, not to “capture requirements.”
Operator-ready • no orphaned work
Action Table + Evidence Gates
- Owner / ask / due date for each next step
- Evidence gates (pass/fail checks required before work starts)
- Data requests (minimum viable set + where it should live)
- Readout plan (who needs what, and when)
Proof
What a good Deep Dive output looks like.
A sanitized example of the 1–2 page decision memo you can forward internally—plus explicit owners and evidence gates.
Built to travel
Why this reduces risk
- Forwardable: leadership can review without another meeting
- Decisionable: decision date + success criteria are explicit
- Operable: owners + asks + due dates prevent orphaned work
- Gateable: pass/fail evidence checks before you spend time/money
Optional: if you proceed, we can turn this into a scoped follow-on brief within 24 hours.
