Stabilize it

Build the system that keeps the chaos from returning.

Follow-on services repair diagnosed problems, create durable knowledge infrastructure, and maintain the record after stabilization.

A durable operating layer

Make the important record findable and teachable.

Source-of-truth map

Identify authoritative, superseded, supporting, contradictory, and unknown artifacts.

Evidence register

Connect claims and decisions to sources, status, uncertainty, and review history.

Knowledge library

Preserve conversations, documents, indexes, and project history.

SOPs and review

Define updates, checks, handoff, retention, and deletion.

Stabilize it

Recovery Sprint

$7,000–$9,000after an accepted audit

Milestone implementation work derived from an audit you have already accepted.

Opens in stages

Opens in stages. Human archive work begins only after service and data terms, insurance, secure transfer, retention and deletion procedures, and independent QA are in place. Requires an accepted audit first.

Included

  • Implementation backlog derived from the audit
  • Milestone delivery with evidence
  • Tests and documentation
  • Known-limitations register
  • Handoff package

Not included

  • Work not derived from an accepted audit
  • Unlimited scope changes
  • Ongoing maintenance (see Evidence Stewardship)

Best for: Projects with a diagnosis in hand that now need the repairs actually carried out.

Scope boundary: Requires an accepted audit and written acceptance criteria. Change orders are mandatory.

Next step: Consider a stewardship retainer once the project is stable.

Knowledge-System Build

$12,000–$15,000discovery-based

Builds the durable system that keeps the same chaos from returning.

Opens in stages

Opens in stages. Human archive work begins only after service and data terms, insurance, secure transfer, retention and deletion procedures, and independent QA are in place. Discovery-led; not sold from a form alone.

Included

  • Searchable archive
  • Evidence model and citation registry
  • Decision ledger
  • Source-of-truth architecture
  • Workflow SOPs
  • Team training
  • Acceptance testing

Not included

  • Enterprise platform development
  • Managed IT or hosting
  • Ongoing maintenance (see Evidence Stewardship)

Best for: Organizations that need a searchable, evidence-linked knowledge system rather than another cleanup.

Scope boundary: Scope set during a discovery phase. Requires acceptance criteria before work begins.

Next step: Move to a stewardship retainer to keep the system current.

Evidence Stewardship

$750 / $1,500 / $3,000monthly — Light / Standard / Technical

Reserved monthly capacity to keep the archive, decisions, risks, and evidence current.

Opens in stages

Opens in stages. Human archive work begins only after service and data terms, insurance, secure transfer, retention and deletion procedures, and independent QA are in place. Offered after a project is stabilized.

Included

  • Defined monthly capacity
  • Archive and evidence maintenance
  • Decision and risk register updates
  • Unresolved-conflict tracking
  • Monthly review and capacity report

Not included

  • Unlimited availability or on-call support
  • Implementation work outside the retained capacity
  • Managed IT

Best for: Stabilized projects that would otherwise drift back into scatter within a few months.

Scope boundary: Reserved capacity, not unlimited support. Tier depends on system size and review frequency.

Next step: Review capacity and tier fit at the end of each quarter.

Typical sequence

Diagnosis before implementation.

  1. Scan, audit, or discovery

    Establish evidence, objective, constraints, and priority problems.

  2. Approved scope

    Define deliverables, milestones, systems, acceptance, and exclusions.

  3. Build and validate

    Create agreed artifacts and test against stated uses.

  4. Handoff or stewardship

    Transfer ownership or maintain a defined review rhythm.

After diagnosis

Turn the recovery plan into a governed system.

Bring the completed scan, audit, or discovery result.
