What is included

Stakeholder interviews and document review
Current-state architecture or workflow analysis
Prioritized findings with effort and risk ratings
Recommended sequencing and options analysis
Executive read-out briefing

Outcome

A defensible written basis for the program's next funding or scoping decision.

02 · Typically 4–8 weeks

Security Readiness Review

What is included

Control-alignment gap matrix
Evidence inventory and documentation review
Threat model and architecture risk review
Draft policies and procedures where gaps exist
Remediation plan with owners and sequencing

Outcome

A gap matrix and remediation plan the program can act on and show to reviewers.

03 · Typically 4–6 weeks

AI Governance Starter

What is included

AI use-case inventory and risk triage
Governance charter with roles and review gates
Human-in-the-loop workflow design

Best for. Programs replacing legacy systems or manual processes.

What is included

Current-state process and system inventory
Target-state architecture and data model
Increment plan with dependencies and risks
Accessibility and security requirements baseline
Rough order-of-magnitude effort ranges

Outcome

A phased roadmap that can be funded and executed one increment at a time.

05 · Typically 3–6 months

Project-Based Delivery Increment

Fixed-scope engineering delivery — application work, integrations, or remediation — released in reviewable increments with documentation and handover.

Best for. A defined build, integration, or remediation effort.

What is included

Requirements and acceptance criteria
Iterative delivery with demonstrations
Automated tests and code review practice
Security and accessibility verification
Operations documentation and knowledge transfer

Outcome

Working, documented capability in production or in the program's staging environment.

06 · Monthly, renewable

Advisory Retainer & Surge Support

Recurring senior advisory hours for architecture decisions, security questions, vendor review, proposal technical input, or short surge tasks.

Best for. Teams that need senior technical capacity on call.

What is included

Named senior technical point of contact
Scheduled working sessions and written recommendations
Independent review of vendor or contractor deliverables
Ad-hoc surge tasks within the monthly allocation
Monthly summary of activity and open risks

Outcome

Continuity of technical judgment without adding a full-time position.

Durations are typical planning ranges for scoping discussions, not commitments. Actual scope, period of performance, staffing, and price are established per solicitation, task order, or written agreement.
