Work typically falls into three categories, adaptable to specific organizational requirements:
Rapid Diagnostic and Alignment (3-5 days)
Fast pattern recognition for high-stakes integration, disaster response gaps, or architecture decisions requiring external expertise.
Architecture Review and Documentation (4-8 weeks)
Comprehensive system review, doctrine development, and knowledge transfer for organizations facing succession planning, audits, or legacy system documentation requirements.
Embedded Advisory (3-12 month retainer)
Ongoing architecture guidance for long-running integration, transformation, or coalition coordination efforts.
Specific scope, deliverables, and pricing determined based on organizational context and constraints.
Operating principles
Introduced in
Engagements begin through a trusted connector.
Outcome first
We define a clear decision or artifact, then ship it. No vanity work.
Minimal surface area
We use the least tooling needed to win, often inside systems you already own.
Principal, not staff aug
You are not renting an extra pair of hands. You are engaging a principal who can move from doctrine to design to delivery without committee drift.

Native to the Federal Environment – I do not just tolerate federal constraints; I design for them. My doctrine assumes security, compliance, and multi-agency stakeholders as the default state, not an afterthought.
