Strategic Signal Intensive
A principal-led working session and decision brief for one urgent operating question, AI decision, or high-friction constraint.
SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT
What is included.
- Pre-session evidence review
- 90-minute principal working session
- Constraint and decision framing
- Written next-action brief
- Recommended engagement path or no-go decision
ACCEPTANCE & EVIDENCE
What proves completion.
- Source and assumption register
- Decision statement

- Explicit unknowns and limits
COMMERCIAL BOUNDARY
What is not silently included.

- Enterprise-wide discovery
- Implementation
- Vendor procurement
- Production system access
AUTHORIZE
Issue a written proposal with deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timeline, acceptance, and payment terms.
EXECUTE
Collect evidence, conduct the work, preserve decisions, surface constraints, and manage controlled changes.
ACCEPT
Review every agreed deliverable and criterion; return unresolved work instead of disguising it as complete.
PROVE
Deliver the evidence package, decision record, next-action route, and engagement closeout receipt.
Put the real operating context on the table.
The audit asks the questions required to determine fit and scope. Submitting it does not create an engagement or expose production credentials.
