Assessment services
Find the friction.
Know your next move.
The Quick Scan identifies where to investigate. The Federal Operations Health Check™ determines what needs to change and how to approach it.
Two assessments. Different depths.
| What to expect | Operations Quick Scan | Federal Operations Health Check™ |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Identify strengths, concerns, and areas needing attention. | Investigate a defined problem and develop practical improvements. |
| Scope | One company or business unit; broad screen of eight functions. | One selected process or connected workflow; up to two representative awards or programs. |
| Typical duration | One business week. | Two to three weeks; plan on three. |
| Method | Targeted interviews and review of readily available materials. | Interviews, source review, selected completed cases, and process validation. |
| Outputs | Executive report, function health overview, preliminary findings and opportunities, leadership briefing. | Validated current-state map, findings and root causes, future-state concept, opportunity map, roadmap, and briefing. |
Timing depends on agreed scope, access to information, stakeholder availability, and review cycles. Fees are quoted after discussing scope.

Federal Operations Health Check™
Begin with a Quick Scan finding or a process you already know needs attention. We define its boundaries and examine the evidence behind the way work is performed.
Confirm the problem
Agree on the process, sponsor, systems, desired outcomes, and information needed.
Understand the current state
Interview leadership and staff, review relevant materials, and validate how work flows today.
Apply the Why Test™
Distinguish source requirements from internal policy, preference, and legacy practices.
Prioritize the changes
Develop a practical future-state concept, opportunity map, measures, and sequenced roadmap.
Questions about the assessments.
Do I need a Quick Scan first?
No. If you already have a well-defined operational problem, we can scope a Health Check directly.
Is this a compliance audit?
These are operational assessments, not legal advice, compliance audits, or certification services. Findings reflect the evidence available within the agreed scope.
Will you implement the recommendations?
Implementation or ongoing advisory support can be discussed separately. We confirm technical fit, capacity, scope, and responsibilities before committing to that work.
What does the client provide?
A sponsor, access to relevant leaders and staff, readily available process materials, and timely feedback. We agree on appropriate access and secure information sharing before work starts.
Start with the problem you want to solve.
Tell us where work slows down, what leadership cannot see, or which process needs attention. We’ll discuss a practical starting point and agree on the scope.
