Services

Four pillars. Thirteen services. Ten fixed-scope offers.

Every engagement has a defined scope, an indicative timeline and a clear deliverable — so a board, sponsor or project manager knows exactly what they're buying.

01 — Project Assurance

Independent scrutiny of live and upcoming programmes

Programme assurance reviews

Independent health check of a live programme's governance, controls and delivery confidence, reported straight to the people accountable for it.

Independent project gateway reviews

A structured review ahead of a stage gate, with a clear readiness rating and go/no-go recommendation.

Employer's Requirements (ER) health checks

Scrutiny of the ER against what's actually being delivered, catching drift before it becomes a claim.

Commissioning Readiness Assessment

A focused check on whether commissioning and handover planning is genuinely ready to protect the completion date.

02 — Transaction & Bid Support

Sharper decisions before capital commits

AI-assisted bid reviews

Red-team review of bids, tenders and business cases, using AI-assisted evidence triage to surface risk and inconsistency faster than a manual read-through. Client documents are handled under NDA and are never used to train AI models.

Private equity (PE) technical due diligence

Independent technical view for investors ahead of an acquisition — capex, delivery risk, and the questions management needs to answer.

03 — Recovery, Leadership & Disputes

Senior, hands-on help when a project needs it most

Project rescue / recovery

Rapid, hands-on intervention on a distressed programme — governance reset, critical path recovery, and a plan the team can actually run.

Interim project & programme leadership

Senior client-side leadership to mobilise a new project, fill a critical gap, or lead delivery through a difficult phase. Where we lead delivery, we don't also provide the independent assurance on that project.

Dispute & claims support

Practitioner support for client, legal and claims teams — project chronologies, records and programme review, and a plain-English account of what happened and why. Where an independent expert witness is needed, we help brief and support one.

04 — Executive Advisory & Products

Ongoing independent insight for boards and PMs

Board advisory retainers

A confidential, independent voice in board and sponsor discussions on capital programme risk.

Non-Executive Director roles

NED input bringing direct delivery experience of major capital programmes into governance.

Executive mentoring for PMs

Structured 1:1 coaching for project managers and project directors stepping up or under pressure.

Online templates & document packs

Governance, reporting and gateway templates for PMOs and PMs who need practical tools without a full engagement. Available on request.
