Structured Diagnostics
Defined-Scope Reviews
Clear entry points. Useful answers before a larger commitment.
Some matters benefit from a contained diagnostic before broader advisory or implementation work is commissioned. These reviews establish the facts, identify the material exposures and provide a practical decision framework within an agreed timetable.
Each review is delivered personally by Michael Velten. Scope, timing, deliverables and pricing are agreed upfront.

Not sure which starting point applies?
A confidential initial discussion is the simplest place to begin. We will identify whether a defined-scope review is appropriate, or whether the matter requires a different form of engagement.
