I start with a diagnosis, not a pitch. Most engagements begin with a one-week Institutional Signal Audit — a confidence-rated finding on where your institution is actually exposed — and move into a fixed-price sprint only if you choose to act on it. Let's discuss what you're building and where to start.
Best way to reach me. Subject line: "Governance architecture" + your challenge in one sentence.

One diagnosis, three sprints. Start with a one-week audit to find what's actually exposed; move into a fixed-price sprint to fix it. You define the problem. I deliver what you need to act on it.
Email me with your problem in a sentence. What institution or program needs governance architecture? I'll ask follow-up questions to scope the work and confirm timing and budget fit.
Most engagements begin with the one-week Institutional Signal Audit. It delivers one confidence-rated finding and tells us both whether — and which — sprint (Discovery, Design, or Blueprint) you need. The fee credits in full toward that sprint if you proceed.
You transfer the first half of the project fee. I start mapping your institution, programs, and governance structure. You're available for 2–3 structured conversations (30 min each) to clarify institutional context.
Using public records, institutional documentation, and your input, I map structure, identify failure modes, and design the governance framework. For Design and Blueprint engagements, I draft the accountability model and report architecture.
You receive complete deliverables (written analysis, frameworks, diagrams, implementation guides). We do a 1–2 hour debrief call to walk through the work. You own everything.
Cities, public agencies, universities, health systems, and companies deploying AI systems, automation, or large capital programs who are asking: How do we design accountability and transparency into this from the start instead of documenting failure after?
Ideal if: You're moving fast on something ambitious and you need a structural assessment before you scale. You want evidence-based governance design with confidence ratings you can take to a board, not consultants who sell you process or frameworks you can't actually run. You need the analysis done in 1–8 weeks, not 6 months.
Not a fit if: You need ongoing advisory or retainer relationships. You're looking for regulatory compliance consulting (I do governance architecture, not compliance mapping). You need someone embedded in your organization long-term.
Email me your challenge in a sentence. We'll likely start with a one-week Institutional Signal Audit to find what's actually exposed — then decide what's worth fixing.
