01
Single-person applications
The Cohort admits two per organization: the person who sponsors the decision and the person who runs the process. One alone does not get in, even if the seat stays empty and the edition runs short.
06Who we are not for
Turning down work is part of the method.
A do-not-implement verdict only counts from a firm that already turns things down. These are ours, written before you write to us.
02
Mandates without a named owner
Every engagement needs one person accountable for the result, with authority to change the process that produces it. Without that name, we do not start.
03
Building on a position nobody measured
Whoever arrives with the vendor already chosen, looking for hands to install it, has come to the wrong place. The diagnosis is the entry point to any work with the firm.
04
Precision the evidence cannot hold
A level stated in an interview stays marked as stated. Nobody raises a letter so the report reads better in front of a board.
05
The full maturity ladder
We state the level the decision demands and count stopping there as success. If your operation works at L2, we will not sell you the road to L4.
06
The project that follows the report
When value is low, risk disproportionate or evidence insufficient, the verdict is do not implement. That report is delivered anyway and the mandate closes there.
Who we work well with.
- You have a concrete decision you want to improve and can name the result that should change.
- Someone at the executive table answers for that decision and can change the process that produces it.
- You would rather find out your evidence is weak now than after signing the investment.
- You accept that the work may end with a recommendation to build nothing.
If the second list describes you, write to us. The first conversation costs nothing and is usually enough to know whether the work makes sense.
