$4,500 fixed. Five days of my time over about three weeks. Six to eight hours of yours.
One entity. One flow, so receivables or payables, not both. One reason you are asking.
You get a written findings document in CFO language, vendor neutral:
- Where your flow breaks, named: at entry, at the handoff, at the match, or not at all.
- A scored read of four operational domains, with the evidence behind each score.
- What the gaps cost, where the data lets that be calculated, and marked as not calculable where it does not.
- A sequence of moves ordered by what has to happen before what.
- A plain statement of what could not be determined, and what it would take to determine it.
- The decision this puts in front of you. If you can act on it without me, it says so.
Then ninety minutes to pressure-test it, with whoever needs to be in the room.
The fee is fixed at agreement. It does not move because the findings turn out to be inconvenient.
What it is not.
It is not assurance. I diagnose, specialists certify. It does not declare you ready for artificial intelligence, for regulatory and control change, or for international expansion. It is not enterprise architecture work, and it is not rate reduction. That is a different trade and there are people who do it well.
Thirty minutes, before any agreement.
Enough to establish which flow and which trigger. If the Diagnostic is not the right instrument, that call is where it should come out, and saying so costs you nothing.
