Stratifia

The fastest path is a short written brief + a discovery call. This helps us understand constraints (time, budget, team capacity) and propose a sensible first step — even if the situation is complex.

Recommended first message should include:

• What you want to achieve in the next 30–90 days
• What is not working today (symptoms + examples)
• Who is involved (roles) and what decisions are hard to make
• Any deadlines or external pressures (customers, audits, launches)

After that, we align on scope: what will be analyzed first, what meetings/workshops are needed, what data/documents are available, and what “good” looks like at the end of the first milestone.

Yes. Most discovery, interviews, workshops, and documentation can be done remotely via scheduled calls and shared workspaces.

If the situation requires deeper operational observation (e.g., shop floor / service floor walkthroughs, cross‑department shadowing), we can discuss on‑site visits where appropriate.

Practical note: remote work is most effective when you can provide access to relevant materials (even if imperfect): process notes, org charts, KPI exports, ticket samples, SOP drafts, or examples of recurring problems.

We don’t expect a “perfect data room” on day one. We start with what exists and refine as we go.

Useful inputs (pick what you have):

• A short narrative of the business model and customer journey
• Current KPIs or operational metrics (even basic spreadsheets)
• Org chart / team list and key responsibilities
• Examples of recurring issues (delays, complaints, rework, cost leaks)
• Existing SOPs, checklists, approval flows — even informal ones

During discovery, we’ll agree what is essential vs. optional, and we’ll protect sensitive information by keeping distribution tight and focusing on facts needed for decisions.

Consulting work often touches financials, customer issues, HR topics, and strategic plans. We treat this as a default requirement, not an exception.

Typical practices:

• Share documents through agreed channels; avoid scattering files across personal inboxes
• Anonymize examples where possible in written materials
• Limit workshop attendance to people who truly need the information
• Separate “facts for analysis” from “public messaging” early

If your company requires an NDA or vendor onboarding steps, tell us up front and we’ll follow your process.

Most projects are structured as a sequence of milestones, so you can pause, adjust, or continue based on value and capacity.

A common shape:

• Discovery (short): align on goals, scope boundaries, stakeholders, risks, and success signals.
• Analysis (focused): map processes, quantify pain points where possible, and validate root causes with the team.
• Strategy & plan (practical): prioritize improvements, define owners, timelines, and change steps that fit your organization.
• Implementation support (optional): weekly cadence, templates, follow‑ups, and facilitation to prevent “slides only” outcomes.

We prefer small, high‑signal wins early (quick stabilizers) while building toward deeper improvements — especially in busy operations teams.

No consultant can honestly guarantee revenue, margin, or market outcomes — too many variables sit outside any advisory scope.

What we do commit to is structured work: clear questions, documented findings, prioritized recommendations, and pragmatic support to help your team execute.

Where possible, we define measurable indicators together (lead time, error rate, throughput, customer response time, admin hours, etc.) so progress can be tracked responsibly.
