THE READINESS ASSESSMENT

Every engagement starts the same way

Three calls: a product and technical review with your engineering team, a team and readiness review against the Ten Rules, and a 60-minute decision call with Samuel Cook. You get a written readiness report and a clear decision. The fee is credited in full toward the engagement.

A fixed, credited fee. Scheduling begins within one business day.
