Scoped to what your team already has.

Every team arrives somewhere different, so nobody pays to be taught what they already know. The engagement always covers the same ground, the Assess, Enable and Prove workstreams, and always ends the same way, with a real project measured. What changes is how deep each one has to go.

Every engagement is scoped on a call, because no two teams arrive with the same problem.

The engagement.

One outcome, whatever stage your team is at today.

We have AI in the building. I cannot show it changed anything.

The engagement

Typically 90 days · the guarantee applies

The operating system installed into how your team already works, transferred to them, and proven against a real business number.

What you get

The machine at the core

Design Team OS — three decision gates that hold the quality bar, a conductor that routes the loop, and a work ledger that carries the proof. Open source, and it transfers to your team.

  • Work tied to a goal and a customer pain before it starts
  • A shared, written bar the whole team designs against
  • Design Team OS running in your environment, yours to keep
  • One real project through all three gates, its outcome measured

One real project, run all the way through the system, and the outcome measured against a business number. You end with tangible proof, not a claim.

The three workstreams.

Every engagement covers all three, because the gates only work together. How deep each goes is the part that changes.

Installs the Intent gate

Assess

Ties the work to a goal and a real customer pain before anyone starts building.

Deep when
No goals, metrics, or decision rights are written down anywhere.
Light when
Leadership has already set clear targets your team can point at.
Installs the Decision gate

Enable

Gets the team working one way, to a bar everyone agreed on, in a stack that is actually configured. Where a design system exists, the bar includes fidelity to it, so AI output looks like the product rather than default AI.

Deep when
Everyone works their own way, the tooling was never set up properly, or AI output keeps drifting off the design system.
Light when
The team is already fluent and reasonably consistent.
Installs the Value gate

Prove

Instruments the work so a shipped project can be checked against the business number agreed before it started.

Deep when
Nothing is measured after ship, so speed is the only story you can tell.
Light when
Usage data already exists and just needs tying to outcomes.

After the engagement, keeping the system current.

Available once the engagement is done. Tools change, and a system nobody maintains goes stale within months.

It works. I just don't want it to rot six months after you leave.

Operate

Monthly · Maintained or Operated

The system kept current and the proof kept coming as the tools change.

What you get

  • Maintained: skills kept current, a monthly scorecard pulse, a quarterly stack refresh
  • Operated: everything above, plus the weekly cadence run for you
  • Your team owns the system either way
