Custom Constraint Diagnosis Engagement

Bring us the problem you see. We'll find the real constraint and define 'done'.

Our flagship engagement - the most thorough constraint diagnosis we offer.

From $2,500 Custom quote

Scoped price, agreed before the work starts and invoiced after it. You only pay if we deliver a clear, actionable diagnosis.

What this is

This is our flagship engagement: the most thorough constraint diagnosis we offer. You bring the problem you see - the bottleneck, the missed deadlines, the system that fights you - and we find the real constraint underneath it and define what "done" actually looks like.

The problem you can see is rarely the problem that's actually limiting you. The point of this work is to find the one that is.

How it works

We begin with a scoping conversation to understand the problem and set the schedule. Then we run a deep analysis of the system, trace cause and effect to the binding constraint, and deliver a written diagnosis backed by evidence, a clear definition of done, concrete recommendations, and a handoff package your team can implement from.

The engagement is built on a simple promise: find it, or don't pay. The price is scoped to your engagement and agreed in writing before any work starts, then invoiced after it — and you only pay if we deliver a clear, actionable diagnosis. The exact terms are spelled out before you commit.

Who it's for

Leaders who know something is limiting the business but can't get a clean, agreed answer on what it is or what to do about it. It draws on Theory of Constraints and decades of systems experience to turn a vague "things are stuck" into a specific, defensible plan.

What you get

  • Deep system analysis
  • Written constraint diagnosis
  • Clear definition of done
  • Evidence-based recommendations
  • Handoff package for implementation

Why it matters

  • The most thorough constraint diagnosis we offer
  • Backed by the "Find it. Or don't pay." guarantee

The process

  1. 1 Scoping and intake
  2. 2 Deep analysis phase
  3. 3 Findings and recommendations
  4. 4 Delivery and discussion

Terms

We will conduct a logical analysis of your system and show you exactly where the constraint is located, backed by evidence from your own operations.

If you disagree that we located the constraint, you owe nothing.

Turnaround: 2-4 weeks

Next step

If this work shows that the constraint sits one level deeper, the next move is to Embedded & Safety-Critical Systems Review .

Questions and answers

If we do not deliver a clear, actionable constraint diagnosis, you do not pay the fee. The promise is on the diagnosis itself — the exact refund terms are spelled out in the offer's terms before you commit.

The messaging and JSON-LD audits are focused, fixed-scope reviews. This is our flagship deep engagement: you bring the problem you see, and we find the real constraint across your system and define what "done" actually looks like.

A scoping conversation, context about the problem or system, and any existing reports, diagrams, or documentation. The intake conversation sets the scope and schedule.

Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on the scope agreed during intake.

The price is scoped to your engagement and agreed in writing before any work starts — nothing is collected when you book. It is invoiced after the engagement, and combined with the "find it or don't pay" guarantee, you only pay if we deliver a clear, actionable diagnosis.
