Selected advisory

Senior judgment for technology decisions with clear scope.

Bounded mandates for organizations that need to frame a decision, review architecture and risk, or leave an executable roadmap without creating an open-ended dependency.

Technology & architecture review

Frame an executive decision, reconstruct the current state and choose a defensible technical direction.

Current-state map and reviewed scope.
Known, Unknown and Not Verified.
Options, trade-offs and priority risks.
30/60/90 roadmap with owners and dependencies.

Platform recovery & modernization roadmap

Recover control over a critical platform while separating immediate continuity from structural modernization.

Evidence and critical-journey reconstruction.
Containment, recovery and residual risk.
Architecture, observability and resilience gaps.
Phased modernization with rollback.

Cybersecurity operating model

Turn scattered controls into prioritized risk, ownership, metrics and operational readiness.

Risk register and control baseline.
Policies, owners and evidence gaps.
Incident readiness and executive metrics.
30/60/90 roadmap and residual risk.

Data & AI architecture with controls

Design data, automation and AI flows with permissions, traceability and operational limits.

Data flows, sensitivity and ownership.
Identity, permissions and auditability.
Human review, monitoring and kill switch.
Guardrails and controlled-adoption roadmap.

Boundaries

Discovery first; scope and decision rights before access.

Included

Explicit decision, scope and stakeholders.
Classified evidence, gaps and risks.
Options with trade-offs and a recommended route.
Executive brief and execution mechanisms.

Not included

Implicit unlimited support or on-call availability.
Security, schedule or outcome promises without evidence.
Open implementation without an internal owner.
Credentials or sensitive data during initial contact.
