THE BORDERLANDS GROUP READINESS ASSESSMENT

THE READINESS ASSESSMENT

Every engagement starts the same way

Before any engagement in Ukraine, we evaluate your product, team, and readiness against the Ten Rules. It is how both sides decide, before a retainer, whether this will work.

THE PROCESS — THREE CALLS

01
Product & technical review

With your engineering team: specifications, test data, resilience under electronic warfare, iteration capacity, and field support.

02
Team & readiness review

Founder interviews against the Ten Rules; export posture, financial runway, production capacity, and validation of stated claims.

03
Decision call with Samuel Cook

Sixty minutes. Review of findings and the written recommendation. A final decision, made together.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

  • A Ukraine Readiness Report: product assessment, team assessment, and readiness scoring
  • A written recommendation regarding a prospective engagement
  • A clear decision: whether, and how, to proceed
