How I Work

Score. Decide. Rehearse. Re-score.

Four moves, one loop. Advisory that produces numbers you can defend, decisions with named owners, and a leadership team that has practiced the worst day before it arrives. Not a report that sits on a shelf.

↻ A continuous loop, not a one-time project

01 · Score

Put a number on where you actually are.

Every engagement starts with a scored baseline built on frameworks refined across 600+ technology projects, primarily AI and cybersecurity, including the Enterprise AI Trust Score and the AI Threat Readiness Score. Structured leadership input, not scanners. Most leadership teams have never seen their posture as a number they can defend to a board.

You receive

Scored baseline report

Category scores, peer context, and the three gaps that matter most, in fifteen pages or fewer.

02 · Decide

Every gap gets an owner and a cost of inaction.

The readout ranks the gaps, prices what waiting costs, and names who owns each fix. Recommendations follow from the evidence, and the roadmap is one your team could execute without me. The question that closes every readout is the same. Who owns executing this?

You receive

60-minute executive readout

Gaps in priority order, each with a baseline, an owner, and what delay costs. Never longer than an hour.

03 · Rehearse

Practice the worst day before it happens.

Plans that have never been rehearsed fail on contact. Tabletop exercises and the 72-Hour IR Executive Playbook put your leadership team through the first three days of an incident, hour by hour, while it is still free to make mistakes. Drawn from 200+ facilitated exercises and workshops.

04 · Re-score

Progress is a delta, not a feeling.

The baseline gets re-scored on a cadence. The delta shows what moved, what stalled, and whether the next cycle is earned. Then the loop runs again, because governance is a living practice, not a one-time project.
