Three ways to work together.
Defined outcomes, clear scope, and senior architecture judgement.
Executive Decision Diagnostic
- Price
- Typically $12,500–$22,000 + GST
- Duration
- 5–10 business days
A focused assessment for a decision, opportunity, or portfolio problem that needs independent senior judgement. The diagnostic turns a difficult situation into an executive decision pack.
Possible lenses
- OCTA: outcomes, capabilities, architecture, trade-offs, governance, and benefits
- Hunting Ground: outsourced functions, niche applications, thin services, and AI opportunity
- AI Governance: tools, pathways, decision rights, oversight, and maturity
- TIME and BCM: portfolio health, capability coverage, disposition, and sequencing
Deliverable
Executive Decision Pack containing the situation, findings, options, trade-offs, recommendation, risks, and next-step roadmap.
Focused Architecture and Opportunity Sprint
- Price
- Typically $35,000–$65,000 + GST
- Duration
- 4–6 weeks
A fixed-scope engagement that converts a diagnosed problem into an architecture, roadmap, governance model, portfolio decision, or opportunity plan.
Examples
- OCTA applied to a named transformation decision
- Hunting Ground opportunity and reclaim roadmap

Deliverable
A defined architecture or roadmap pack, decision records, governance route, implementation sequence, and benefit measures.
