We fix failing
digital programs.

When your digital or AI investment isn't delivering, we clarify what is failing, and fix it. Or we tell you what to do instead.

Billions spent. Pilots launched. ROI still missing.
No one is positioned to fix it.

When the board asks —

Why aren't we seeing ROI?

When the vendor says —

We need another phase.

When internal champions —

are losing credibility.

Independent judgement matters most when the cost of being wrong is still rising.

Technology is where failure becomes visible. The cause is almost always upstream.

Three root causes recur in every stalled program we've diagnosed. They compound. They resist any intervention that addresses only one.

01 / Economic Clarity
ROI was approved.
It was never operationalized.

The business case existed to secure funding, never to create accountability for what it would actually return. Metrics were aspirational, not traceable to a P&L line.

02 / Outcome Ownership
The program ran.
Nobody owned the outcome.

Stakeholders were many. Decision rights were diffuse. Everyone was involved. No one was responsible. Every delay had a dozen explanations and a single unspoken cause.

03 / Delivery Fit
The system was delivered.
The value wasn't.

Wrong platform, over-customized, measured by go-live dates. The vendor moved on. The client held the debt: technical, commercial, and organizational.

Failure is gradual — until it becomes visible.

Each of your current partners fixes one dimension. Not all three.

PartnerWhat they fixWhat they won't address
Platform
Vendors
FixesThe technology. Won't tell you the platform was the wrong choice. Their incentive is a continued relationship, not an honest verdict.
Strategy
Consultants
FixesThe business case. Don't engage with what was actually built, who owns the outcome, or whether the operating model supports the technology.
System
Integrators
FixesThe execution. Measure success by delivery milestones, not value realization. The engagement ends at go-live.

Each has a role.
None addresses all three simultaneously.

That is the gap Stratium
was built to fill.

The engagement is the guarantee.

The usual pitch A methodology deck, a staffing pyramid, a statement of work priced by the hour, and a promise that value will emerge at the other end.
How we engage instead A one-week fixed-fee start, senior operators in the room, priced against outcomes, and a verdict you can take to the board, whether you continue with us or not.
01 / Who shows up
Partners who sold, juniors who deliver.
The partner who scopes your work delivers your work. No leverage model. No pyramid.
02 / How we're priced
Billable hours against estimates.
Fixed fee to diagnose. Milestone-based to execute. If the milestones are not credible, we say so.
03 / What we owe you
A deck and a closeout meeting.
A verdict written by a principal, defensible at the board, and a program more recoverable than we found it.
Commitment 01

Diagnose before prescribing.

Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee, one-week Diagnostic Sprint. We will not propose a recovery plan without evidence. If your program does not need one, we will say so, and bill a week, not a quarter.

Commitment 02

Senior operators only.

Four partners, all with 20+ years of enterprise delivery. No junior consultants churning slides in the background. Extended network activated only where it earns its seat: APAC and LATAM specialists brought in by name, not by pool.

Commitment 03

Independence is structural.

No platform to sell. No implementation practice to defend. No resale margins, no referral fees, no vendor partnerships shaping the verdict. Our only obligation is to the diagnosis, and to telling you what we would do if the program were ours.

Commitment 04

Priced against outcomes, not hours.

Diagnostic Sprint: one week, fixed fee. Recovery Assessment: packaged fee against board-ready deliverables. Recovery Execution: milestone-based, tied to outcomes you can audit. We do not bill for effort.

Commitment 05

AI accelerates. It does not decide.

Contracts, business cases, architectures, and status reports are pattern-matched against our failure taxonomy before the first interview. That compresses weeks into days. Every verdict you receive is written by a principal who has personally reviewed the evidence.

Commitment 06

Knowledge transfer is built in.

Every engagement ends with your team holding the governance model, the dashboards, and the decision logic. We are accountable for leaving the program more recoverable than we found it, even if you never hire us again.

The deliverable is a recovery that holds after we leave the room.

Independent diagnosis.
Honest answers.

No platform to sell. No implementation practice to defend. No interest in extending an engagement beyond what it warrants.

  • 01When the platform was the wrong choice, we say so.
  • 02When the problem is inside the organization, we say so.
  • 03When there is no fast path, we say so.

Our only obligation is to the diagnosis.

Structured recovery. Fixed-fee entry. Milestone-based execution.

Every engagement begins with the Diagnostic Sprint. Whether you continue is a decision you make with the evidence in hand.
