Process automation review

What this is. What this is not.
This is
- — Operator-led, not theory-led
- — Fixed-scope, fixed-fee advisory
- — Evidence systems and governance architecture
- — Built for execution cadence, not boardroom theory
- — PE-backed operating context
This is not
- — Strategy consulting without operating experience
- — Open-ended retainers with vague deliverables
- — Slide decks without systems behind them
- — Advisory that ends at the recommendation
- — Generalist consulting for any industry
Built by an operator. Not by a consultant.
