The clock doesn't start at the first meeting.

Before Day One, you place your materials in a secure room and we prep, so the Diagnostic Sprint opens at full speed. Our AI pipeline pattern-matches your business case, contracts, status reports, and architecture against the Stratium failure taxonomy before anyone walks in. Included with every engagement. There is no separate fee.
