Focused on contract commitments and operating model consequences
Projects rarely fail because teams lack analysis or slides.
They fail when unclear decisions collapse just before a technology commitment becomes hard to reverse.
That moment is usually one of these gates:
Up to that point, ambiguity can survive. At the gate, it cannot. Questions surface, contradictions appear, ownership is unclear, and progress stalls or reverses.
This review exists to surface those failures before they become expensive.
Most project materials look structured but mix decisions, assumptions, and intentions into a single narrative. Different stakeholders read the same text differently and believe different things have been decided.
This does not matter while plans are still soft. It matters when technology procurement decisions begin to lock in scope, responsibilities, data handling, workflows, or accountability across functions.
In all cases, the issue is not missing information. It is missing decisions.
The review takes your existing project and procurement material. It rebuilds it into a decision backbone: a short list of explicit, testable decisions that can survive scrutiny at the commitment gate you are approaching.
Each decision is expressed as a single, concrete sentence that states:
There is no narrative, no justification, and no interpretation required. Every sentence can be accepted, rejected, or corrected without debate.
The result is a control artifact that all contracts, plans, slides, and discussions must align with.
At the end of the review, you receive:
If something cannot survive scrutiny, it is corrected or removed before the commitment is made.
To avoid misunderstandings:
The work is judgment under pressure, not content creation.
These are recurring patterns observed when decisions are implicit rather than explicit.
The links below show complete decision backbones produced using this approach. They are not summaries or templates; they are finished control artifacts.
They show what “ready” looks like when decisions are explicit.
The review is not delivered as a fixed sequence of steps. It is an iterative working phase focused on getting a set of decisions through a specific commitment gate.
Work typically includes the following categories, not all of them at once, and not in a predefined order:
These activities repeat as needed. There is no fixed number of rounds.
Timing: Three weeks is an optimistic guideline. Actual duration depends on stakeholder availability, escalation paths, and the extent of conflict that surfaces, not on the amount of work performed.
Output: A decision backbone that has already survived real scrutiny and can be used with confidence at the commitment gate.
The Decision Readiness Review includes unlimited support for the specific technology commitment we are working toward.
That means stakeholder pushback, clarification, and correction required to get the decisions through the commitment gate are covered. We iterate until the commitment is made or explicitly stopped. Once the gate is passed, the review ends.
Continued support beyond that point is set up separately as a bounded retainer for a project, program, or decision process. Nothing rolls over automatically.
Decision Readiness Review
For one specific technology contract, sourcing decision, or operating model commitment.
Price range: 15.000 EUR - 30.000 EUR
This covers:
This does not cover:
The exact price is fixed before work starts and depends on decision quality at intake, the number of stakeholders involved, and the expected level of commitment pressure.
Pricing is tied to decision commitments, not hours or documents. If no irreversible commitment is approaching, the review is usually not worth doing.
