FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do we need clean data before starting?

No. Data quality is part of the diagnosis. We begin by locating critical decisions, data sources, owners, and failure points.

Is this consulting or research?

It can be either or both. Engagements may produce an organizational roadmap, a prototype, a case study, or a research question.

What makes a good first project?

A recurring decision or workflow with visible delay, duplication, inconsistency, or manual effort.
