Before approval, publication or commitment
An independent systemic review of logic, evidence, assumptions, dependencies and the fit between the proposed decision and the organization’s maturity and execution capacity.
When the cost of ambiguity, rework or delay is greater than the cost of testing the document or decision before commitment.
Quarterly, mid-year and annual reports; performance, executive, board, operational, project, program, transformation, impact, evaluation, compliance, research and technical reports; strategies, policies, proposals, business cases and presentations.
Investments, initiatives, partnerships, organizational changes and commitments affecting resources, reputation, accountability or outcomes.
Before publication, submission, presentation, approval or commitment—not after the cost of reversal has risen.
Material issues and exposure signals linked to the agreed purpose.
Assumptions, dependencies and gaps in evidence, governance and execution capacity that require resolution.
Improvement directions and, where scoped, a focused discussion of the findings.
For a defined document or decision, with agreed scope, outputs, fee and delivery date.
Reserved review capacity with an agreed number, scope and service level for recurring documents and decisions.
Start with a non-confidential description. Do not upload the document or identify people, classified information or sensitive commercial facts.
