Methodology
Mapping, scoring, arbitration, roadmap. Each phase delivers a standalone, reusable artifact that can be replicated in 12 months.
Duration
4 to 6 weeks
Format
Hybrid: async + 2 workshops
Deliverable
Written report + exec summary
Pricing
Custom, scoped
Phase I
Indicative duration: 5 to 10 days
Inventory of catalog objects, endpoints, payment rails and existing policies. No recommendations at this stage: we describe what exists.
Inputs
Output
Map of the four UCP layers in their current state, with documented gaps and gray areas.
Phase II
Indicative duration: 3 to 5 days
Each layer receives a score based on a 40-point grid. Scoring is replicable: the same grid is applied before and after.
Inputs
Output
UCP score per layer (0-100), internal cross-team benchmark, three identified asymmetric risks.
Phase III
Indicative duration: 1 workshop (3 hours)
Structured workshop with leadership: we arbitrate, we do not present. Each decision is documented with its cost, expected gain and uncertainty level.
Inputs
Output
Arbitration matrix validated by the executive team, with high / medium / hold scenarios.
Phase IV
Indicative duration: 2 to 3 days
Operational action plan with 3 horizons, per-layer indicators, and a recalibration checkpoint every 90 days based on market signals.
Inputs
Output
6 / 12 / 18-month roadmap, steering indicators and governance rituals.
